'The butt muscles, specifically the gluteus maximus, medius and minimus, are some of the most important muscles for generating speed and power during many athletic movements.'
All athletes, especially those involved in a sport with running, knows that gluteus maximus is the not only the largest muscle in the body, it's also the most powerful. The butt plays a a major role in both running and jumping and butt injuries can be painful, and cause an athlete to pulled from their game.
Most of us, might have assumed ice, heat or massage were the best ways to treat a sore ass, but that doesn't seem to be so.... I recently came upon an article in the Daily Mail in which instead of being pulled from the game, the injured player butt was freeze sprayed, right there in the middle the field...
'There are many ways to pick up a painful injury on the football pitch, but few hurt the pride as much as the body.'
'But for Charleroi defender Javier Martos, there was some embarrassment to go alongside physical discomfort, after he fell awkwardly during a game against Club Brugge. Martos went down under a challenge from Obbi Oulare, and landed painfully on his backside during a Belgian league game.'
