Depends if there is swelling. If there is swelling, ice constricts vessels and reduces the swelling. If there is no swelling, then apply heat. Causes vasodilation, increases circulation to the area and speeds up healing of the muscle.

If you have a buildup of lactic acid, ice helps improve circulation of the blood which will help carry away the acid.
