Recreational athletes often suffer from delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which is defined as muscle pain that begins 1 to 2 days after unaccustomed exercise or exercise involving eccentric (negative) muscle contractions. Muscle pain can also reduce strength and limit range of motion. DOMS is thought to result from damage to muscle cells and subsequent inflammation; therefore, cold therapy is often applied to reduce the pain of DOMS.

休闲运动员常患迟发性肌酸痛（DOMS），是一种做不习惯的练习或涉及离心肌肉收缩1至2天后的肌肉疼痛。肌肉疼痛会减少肌肉疼痛和限制活动范围。延迟性肌肉酸痛被认为起因于肌细胞的损伤和随后的炎症损害，因此，冷疗经常被应用以减轻迟发性肌痛。

Researchers at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. Johns, Canada, wanted to compare 2 types of cold therapy on DOMS: Ice packs and Biofreeze® topical analgesic. They published their results in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy.

 在圣约翰，加拿大，纽芬兰纪念大学的研究人员想比较两种冷疗法对迟发性肌痛的疗效：®冰袋和百飞（Biofreeze）的外用镇痛。他们在国际体育物理治疗国际期刊上发表了结果。

Biofreeze® topical analgesic contains the active ingredient, menthol, which is considered to be a “counter-irritant.” The exact mechanism of menthol’s pain relief is not clear, but it’s believed that menthol stimulates temperature receptors in the skin that are associated with an analgesic (pain-relieving) effect. Previous researchers have shown that Biofreeze reduces blood flow and pain, similar to ice (Olive et al. 2010, Bishop et al. 2011).

百飞（Biofreeze）外用止痛药含有的活性成分，薄荷脑，被认为是不具有刺激性的。薄荷脑的疼痛减轻机制是不明确的，但它认为，薄荷刺激与镇痛效果相关的皮肤温度感受器。以前的研究已经表明，百飞（Biofreeze）降低血流量和减轻疼痛，类似于冰(Olive et al. 2010, Bishop et al. 2011

The researchers at Memorial University induced DOMS in the biceps of 16 healthy subjects with eccentric exercise. Two days later, the subjects randomly received either Biofreeze topical analgesic or an ice pack to the affected muscle; their pain and strength levels were measured 20 minutes after application. The researchers found that Biofreeze reduced DOMS significantly more than ice by 63%. In addition, Biofreeze allowed greater evoked (tetanic) muscle contractions in the sore muscle compared to ice.

纪念大学的研究人员诱发16个健康受试者的二头肌在离心运动的延迟性肌酸痛。两天后，受试者随机接受要么百飞（Biofreeze）外用止痛药或冰袋应用于被影响的肌肉，使用后的20分钟，测定他们的疼痛和强度水平。研究人员发现，百飞（Biofreeze）减轻肌酸痛63％，明显多于冰。此外，相对于冰而言百飞（Biofreeze）允许更大的诱发酸痛肌肉（强直）收缩。

Best. Ever. Biofreeze.

The researchers concluded that Biofreeze is more effective than ice “for decreasing DOMS-induced symptoms of pain and increasing evoked tetanic force.” Furthermore, they stated “the greatest tetanic forces with the menthol analgesic may suggest that more intense or aggressive muscle stimulation therapy during rehabilitation might be possible with such a therapeutic agent.” More research is needed in patient populations receiving electrical muscle stimulation.

最好的，曾经。百飞（Biofreeze）

研究人员得出结论，Biofreeze比冰更有效“降低延迟性肌肉酸痛引起的疼痛症状，并增加诱发强直力量。”此外，他们说：“薄荷镇痛强直最大的力量可能意味着更激烈的或侵略性肌肉刺激治疗期间康复可能是这样的治疗剂的可能。“在接受电肌肉刺激的患者人群需要更多的研究。

In summary, Biofreeze topical analgesic is more effective at reducing the symptoms of DOMS compared to ice, and results in significantly more (>100%) ability of subjects to tolerate electrical stimulation of their muscle.

总之，相比冰而言百飞（Biofreeze）外用止痛药更有效地减少延迟性肌肉酸痛的症状，并使受试对象有更多显著的能力，例如他们肌肉的耐受能力。
