It is common to experience discomfort in the joints or muscles after intense training. In this article, we will talk about the benefits of using ice as an aid for recovery after exercise.
When we talk about applying ice, we refer to local cold application, whether it be ice cubes, frozen vegetable bags, or preferably, thermal packs sold in places like pharmacies and some sports stores. These packs are filled with a gel that can be chilled in the freezer but remains flexible, allowing it to adapt well to irregular joint areas.
When doing high-intensity sports or exercises, joint inflammations can occur after activity. For this reason, the application of local cold is recommended, since cold has an anti-inflammatory effect, as well as an analgesic effect, making it especially suitable for these cases, even if there is no injury or particular pathology.
Some general recommendations for local cold application are 10 to 30 minutes, without placing it directly on the skin (prolonged cold exposure can cause skin damage), and not leaving it on continuously for too long. This way, we reduce the impact of exercise on the body, obtaining quick local relief after the effort of physical activity.
