Abstract

This study determined the comparison between the effectiveness of capsule medicine and

healing ointment among student-athletes upon enduring with their muscle pain. It involved sixty

(60) respondents composed of different junior and senior year level student-athletes in Maryhill

College. In addition, the researchers used a survey questionnaire method of gathering data and

made a campaign material about the awareness in coping up with muscle pain. The responds of

student-athletes showed that most of them are using both treatments to ease injuries and muscle

pain. This study will benefit the student-athletes that are experiencing muscle pain every after the

game and training.
