High-intensity exercise is associated with mechanical and/or metabolic stresses that lead to
reduced performance capacity of skeletal muscle, soreness and inflammation. Cold-water …

Hormesis encompasses the notion that low levels of stress stimulate or upregulate existing
cellular and molecular pathways that improve the capacity of cells and organisms to …

Key points Cold water immersion is a popular strategy to recover from exercise. However,
whether regular cold water immersion influences muscle adaptations to strength training is …

Key points Cold water immersion and active recovery are common post‐exercise recovery
treatments. A key assumption about the benefits of cold water immersion is that it reduces …

This study investigated the effects of 5 and 15° C cold-water immersion on recovery from
exercise resulting in exercise-induced muscle damage. 42 college-aged men performed 5× …

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the human body. Its main characteristic is the
capacity to regenerate after injury independent of the cause of injury through a process …

Contusion injuries in skeletal muscle commonly occur in contact sport and vehicular and
industrial workplace accidents. Icing has traditionally been used to treat such injuries under …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different cold-water
immersion (CWI) protocols on the inflammatory response to and functional recovery from …

Skeletal muscle tissue has the largest mass in the human body, accounting for 45% of the
total weight. Muscle injuries can be caused by bruising, stretching or laceration. The current …
