Applicability of Zingiber officinale Rascoe in reducing muscular pain in late start (DMIT) in health individuals practicing physical activity: systematic review.
Abstract
Regardless of someone being a high-performance athlete, amateur athlete or physically active, the desire for performance and willing to participate in competitions has spread the practice of high intensity training. The delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which starts nearly 24h after the stress and can last up to 7 days, is a consequence of high intensity training or partaking in a competition. Therefore, the self-medication of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) became habitual for those suffering from DOMS. However, because the chronic use of NSAIDs is associated with side effects, sports professionals pursue more sustainable alternatives for NSAIDs. Given this, the objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the efficacy of Zingiber officinale supplementation in alleviating DOMS. Hence, scientific articles published between 2009 and 2019 were researched in electronic databases such as PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Albeit the variety of muscle damage (endurance or resistance exercises) and supplementation (standardization, dose and duration) protocols, Zingiber officinale supplementation was effective in alleviating DOMS in 77,8% of the studies. Furthermore, more research is necessary for a better understanding of DOMS and the mechanisms underlaying the action of Zingiber officinale, so undesirable adaptations don't occur.
