Abstract: (375 Views)
Background. Pain is transmitted to the brain via sensory nerves, and in the musculoskeletal system, pain is often well-perceived due to the abundant distribution of cutaneous nerves in the subcutaneous fat.
Objectives. This study aims to analyze the causes of musculoskeletal pain associated with the repetitive daily training movements of fencers and propose initial recovery methods to maximize athletic performance.
Methods. This study comprehensively searched the scientific literature about fencing, pain, or treatment.
Results. Most injuries and pain experienced by fencers were concentrated in the lower extremities, followed by the upper extremities, and then the trunk and head, including neck regions.
Conclusion. When pain occurs in specific areas, it is advisable to assess and address the condition of the structures that affect the course of the corresponding cutaneous nerves, as these may serve as key treatment points. This study hopes that the results can be applied in clinical practice to facilitate early treatment.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Since the nerves responsible for pain travel through muscles, when any pain occurs, intentional stimulation of the boundary muscle according to each pain region helps relieve pain.
