Research has found that consumption of ginger root may temporarily relieve muscle soreness and pain caused by distance running. The study author from the Old Dominion University in the U.S. aimed to determine whether ginger root supplementation reduces muscle soreness and dysfunction from downhill running in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Based on these findings, the study author concluded that runners may consume ginger root to reduce muscle pain and soreness.
