Cryotherapy is utilized as a physical intervention in the treatment of injury and exercise
recovery. Traditionally, ice is used in the treatment of musculoskeletal injury while cold water …

Intense training results in numerous physiological perturbations such as muscle damage,
hyperthermia, dehydration and glycogen depletion. Insufficient/untimely restoration of these …

The aquatic environment has broad rehabilitative potential, extending from the treatment of
acute injuries through health maintenance in the face of chronic diseases, yet it remains an …

Water immersion is increasingly being used by elite athletes seeking to minimize fatigue and
accelerate post-exercise recovery. Accelerated short-term (hours to days) recovery may …

Background Many strategies are in use with the intention of preventing or minimising
delayed onset muscle soreness and fatigue after exercise. Cold‐water immersion, in water …

Enhanced recovery following physical activity and exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)
has become a priority for athletes. Consequently, a number of post-exercise recovery …

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of pre-exercise ice slurry ingestion and
cold water immersion on submaximal running time in the heat. On three separate occasions …

The use of cold-water immersion (CWI) for postexercise recovery has become increasingly
prevalent in recent years, but there is a dearth of strong scientific evidence to support the …

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of cold water immersion (CWI)
and active recovery (ACT) on resting limb blood flow, rectal temperature and repeated …

Post-exercise cold-water immersion (CWI) is used extensively in exercise training as a
means to minimise fatigue and expedite recovery between sessions. However, debate exists …
