There are several different modalities for injury prevention to consider in order to help our patients' reach their ultimate goals. The purpose of this review is to analyze the use of hot and cold therapies to prevent injury. Thermotherapy has been used in clinical rehabilitation settings to treat health conditions. The therapeutic use of cold, known as cryotherapy, is historically the most popular treatment for acute musculoskeletal injury or fatigue. Cold therapy was seen to decrease delayed-onset muscle soreness and help resolve global or generalized muscle injury or fatigue. In sum, both cold and hot therapy play similar but unique roles in injury prevention and recovery. The key to effective use of either depends on understanding the nature of the injury and mastering the appropriate timing of therapeutic application. By leveraging the unique mechanisms of each modality, athletes can optimize their recovery process and reduce the risk of future injury.

为了帮助我们的患者实现最终目标,有几种不同的预防损伤方法可供考虑。本综述的目的是分析冷热疗法在预防损伤中的应用。热疗法已用于临床康复环境中治疗健康状况。冷疗法,即冷冻疗法,在历史上一直是治疗急性肌肉骨骼损伤或疲劳最常用的方法。冷疗法被认为可以减轻延迟性肌肉酸痛,并有助于解决全身性或广泛性肌肉损伤或疲劳。总之,冷疗法和热疗法在预防损伤和恢复中发挥着相似但独特的作用。有效使用这两种疗法的关键在于了解损伤的性质并掌握治疗应用的适当时间。通过利用每种疗法的独特机制,运动员可以优化他们的恢复过程并降低未来受伤的风险。
