Eccentric exercise typically induces muscle damage that can cause detrimental effects on an
athlete's performance. Therefore, it is vital to find a recovery strategy that will increase the …

Water immersion strategies are commonly employed to reduce symptoms of exercise
induced muscle damage (EIMD). However, little research has established whether recovery …

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is caused from any type of activity that places
unaccustomed loads on a muscle. Athletes are consistently pursuing methods to help …

unaccustomed loads on a muscle. Athletes are consistently pursuing methods to help …

Athletes are often required to train and compete several times during a relatively short
period, without allowing adequate time for a natural recovery (Cochrane, 2004). This is …

High training load and reduced well-being increase the risk of injury, illness and
performance decrements. Post-exercise recovery strategies (eg, water immersion) are used …

Background: Recovery from training is one of the most important aspects of improving
athletic performance (Bishop el al., 2008). Contrast Water Therapy (CWT) has been reported …

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of two
hydrotherapy techniques, coldwater immersion (CWI) and contrast-water therapy (CWT), on …

Purpose: To investigate whether contrast water therapy (CWT) assists acute recovery from
high-intensity running and whether a dose-response relationship exists. Methods: Ten …

An abstract of a study by Lauber et al determining if post-exercise cold-water immersion
decreases muscle soreness compared to contrast water therapy at 48 hours post delayed …
