The vast majority of athletes know that they need to warm up before training and physical education. How many people do this? You don't have to answer, it's a rhetorical question. The usual plot: take the bike out of the entrance or take it out of the car - and go ahead, pedal. Or he went out onto the slope and immediately went down. I put on my sneakers, put on my bib number, trotted a couple of hundred meters before the half marathon and off I went straight to the starting line. I ran a difficult distance - you feel very tired, but you still go out to train the next day. I got injured - well, it will heal somehow, let’s get started, because the important start is soon, you don’t want to lose an already paid slot and it’s a pity to spend time on treatment, somehow it will heal on its own...
Or another story: after intense exercise, instead of allowing the muscles to recover properly using certain procedures, many athletes either neglect this process or simply deliberately ignore it, considering it less valuable than usual training.
The consequences of such “jerks”, the consequences of “overrunning” injuries, the consequences of neglecting the recovery process, are generally the same: even more complex injuries, a strong drop in motivation, a decrease in results, and cessation of the training process.
At the same time, we cannot deny that athletes, especially amateurs, may simply not physically have time for a quality long-term warm-up or resources for full recovery: work, family, competitions outside their city or country, traffic jams - there are plenty of reasons .
In order to compensate for the lack of resources, there are such excellent products as special sports creams. They are easy to use and affordable for the vast majority of athletes.
The use of sports creams has long been organically included in the training process of a large number of top athletes, and resources that are impressive in terms of level and volume are directed towards the development and production of such products.
Let's figure it out: why are they needed, what sports creams are there and how to use them?
If you are an athlete actively involved in sports, or if you are an amateur who regularly participates in competitions, then we have special discount cards for you that allow you to receive significant discounts on the equipment, shoes or clothing you need.
In addition, for fast runners, we have written a special article about running shoes with carbon inserts. You can read it here.
Let's turn to the brand of sports creams OXD, which are produced by the Spanish manufacturer - Telic Group Corporation. The creation of the brand involved professional athletes who know first-hand how to properly structure their training and competitive process, how to organize the process of warming up and restoring muscles after training.
Starting with sports massage creams and gels, OXD has developed products to care for muscles and skin before, during and after exercise. The use of OXD creams has become a common practice for many runners, swimmers, skiers, cyclists, and not only Spanish ones - OXD is now sold in 52 countries around the world.
Jaime Levia, runner and marathon runner, holder of many records and winner of marathon races, shares details of his daily routine before important competitions and the procedure for using OXD sports creams:
“Before bed, self-massage both legs and the lumbar area with OXD restorative cream with arnica and harpagophytum. In the morning, 15–20 minutes before warming up, rub your legs with OXD warming cream and apply OXD Vaseline-based anti-chafing ointment to your armpits, nipples and groin. Ready for the race!”
The system of OXD creams and gels, necessary for a professional athlete and useful for amateur athletes and athletes for training or participation in competitions, includes warming, cooling, restorative and protective agents.
Warming creams OXD
Created and used for prevention and to avoid damage when preparing muscles, ligaments and joints for physical activity. Especially useful if you plan to train in cool weather or have little time to warm up, or immediately before a competition.
ATTENTION! Using the cream will not replace a full warm-up and stretching! OXD creams will simply make these processes more efficient and reduce the risk of injury. Active substances increase blood flow to the treated area, improving blood circulation: oxygen, nutrients and biologically active substances enter the joints.
Two versions of warming creams are available depending on the concentration of active substances:
- OXD warming cream for everyday workouts and beginner athletes
- intensive warming cream OXD - acts faster and longer, suitable for those whose skin is not so sensitive to influences.
Warming creams can be applied to muscles and joints, accompanied by a light massage.
Active ingredients: the warming effect occurs due to the combination of camphor and methyl salicylate, which stimulate the nerve endings of the skin, dilate blood vessels and improve the nutrition of organs and tissues, with vanillin derivatives.
Contraindications
It is not safe to use ointments with a warming effect if a person suffers from intolerance to the components of the product or allergic reactions. The active substances of these drugs have a strong effect on the skin, so they can provoke quite intense negative reactions.
It is not recommended to use warming ointments for people with thin and sensitive skin. Application may cause irritation, redness, discomfort and pain. The reaction can be very severe, even causing a burn.
These ointments cannot be used for arthritis that has an infectious etiology or occurs with the addition of an infection. With such pathologies, the local temperature rises, and the use of the drug will only intensify this reaction. At high temperatures, some infectious agents will multiply even faster, which will aggravate inflammation and can lead to the development of a purulent process.
Do not apply ointments to damaged skin if there are wounds, scratches, or other damage. In this case, the active components will provoke increased pain.
It is not recommended to use warming ointments for people suffering from skin pathologies manifested in the form of pustules or other formations and rashes on the skin.
Cooling gels OXD
Designed to improve muscle recovery after intense physical activity, training and competition, as well as for sports massage after sports. It is especially useful to use cooling gels if muscles and ligaments are damaged during physical activity from sprains or bruises - swelling is relieved faster and the inflammatory process subsides.
They guarantee an invigorating effect, a feeling of pleasant lightness and comfort. Depending on the concentration of active substances, two versions of the gel are available:
- cooling gel OXD
- stronger, intensely cooling OXD gel
Cooling gels can be applied to the entire body.
Active ingredients: a calming effect is achieved through the action of camphor, menthol in combination with witch hazel leaf extract.
Cooling ointments for muscles and joints
Cooling ointments create a cooling effect. They do not lower the temperature in the literal sense of the word, but only create a feeling. In other words, they deceive our receptors. With a cooling effect, it is better to use gels rather than ointments. Gels are better absorbed and do not need to be rubbed, which is very important in the first days after an injury, when rubbing is contraindicated.
Unlike warming ointments, they are suitable for use immediately after an injury. Cooling gels will help relieve pain, prevent the development of hematomas and relieve swelling. Apply a thin layer of ointment (or better yet, gel) to the injured area, distribute evenly and allow to be absorbed. Do not rub the injured area in the first days after the injury!

Anti-chafing ointment OXD

Use of warming ointments
Warming ointments must be used with caution, taking into account the possible consequences. If we are talking about the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system or injuries, then the prescription of all medications, including those for external use, is carried out by a doctor after examination and examination. Independent and uncontrolled use can lead to aggravation of the pathological process.
For treatment, ointments are used in courses, the duration of which is also determined by the doctor. As a rule, the remedy is prescribed for 1-2 weeks, until symptoms completely disappear and cure. It is applied to the affected area 2-3 times a day. You can do a light sports massage to enhance the effect.
Warming creams should not be applied under tight, compressive bandages, since prolonged exposure to the skin without access to air will cause a chemical burn. For better heating, it is permissible to briefly cover the treated areas of the skin with a fabric that allows air to pass through well.
Ointments with a warming effect can be applied exclusively to the skin, and there should be no damage to it. Contact with mucous membranes is very painful and can adversely affect their condition. If this happens by accident, you should immediately rinse off the product with water.
All external ointments have a symptomatic effect: relieve pain, reduce the external manifestations of inflammation. However, they do not in any way affect the course of the pathological process and do not eliminate the causes of the disease.
Why OXD?

- All urems and gels are available in tubes of different sizes. If you are a professional athlete, then it makes sense to take more volume; if you are an amateur, then it makes sense to stay at smaller volumes and, if necessary, purchase what you need.

How to choose the right ointment
When choosing a particular remedy, you need to take into account the individual characteristics of your body, in particular, intolerance to certain substances and sensitivity threshold.
The purpose for which the drug will be used should also be taken into account. If your priority is to increase muscle volume, then it is better to avoid ointments containing non-steroidal substances (such as methyl salicyate, ibuprofen), as they lead to a slowdown in the growth of muscle cells.
People who have diabetes or are prone to it are not recommended to use diclofenac, which, if used in excess, can interfere with insulin production.
In any case, before purchasing an ointment, you should carefully read its instructions. If you have allergic reactions, it is better to consult your doctor regarding the use of a particular substance.

How is post-traumatic arthrosis treated?
Any injury becomes a unique trigger for the development of joint stiffness. We are not just talking about fractures, meniscal injuries or tendon ruptures. Bruises, especially with accumulation of blood in the joint space, dislocations and microdamages that are invisible to the naked eye are also dangerous. Professional athletes are more likely than others to suffer injuries.
Most often, representatives of this category suffer from ankles and knees. Somewhat less often - hip and shoulder joints, wrists. Typically, treatment of arthrosis of the knee joint or any other takes place in several stages:
- analgesics to relieve acute pain;
- anti-inflammatory drugs - inflammation is indicated by a swollen area around the joint;
- comprehensive restoration of cartilage tissue, if the clinical situation allows, or, in difficult cases, partial suspension of degeneration;
- in the non-acute period, physiotherapy is prescribed, for example massage, electrophoresis, acupuncture, etc.
The sooner an athlete seeks help, the higher his chances of continuing to do what he loves.
During training, joints and tendons wear out. It is impossible to stop this process, but it is quite possible to protect the joints from further wear and inflammation! How to properly organize sports nutrition?
