What this paper is

This is a narrative review, not an original clinical study. It summarizes what is known about skeletal muscle injury, repair, and treatments such as cold, heat, NSAIDs, and platelet rich plasma. It reports no participants, methods, or new outcomes, so there is no finding to act on.
