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 …

This review is based on a multiple database survey on published literature to determine the
effects on health following voluntary exposure to cold-water immersion (CWI) in humans …

For centuries, cold temperatures have been used by humans for therapeutic, health and
sporting recovery purposes. This application of cold for therapeutic purposes is regularly …

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 …

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 …

We investigated the effect of cold water immersion (CWI) on the recovery of muscle function
and physiological responses after high-intensity resistance exercise. Using a randomized …

Background Studies investigating the effects of cold-water immersion (CWI) on the recovery
of athletic performance, perceptual measures and creatine kinase (CK) have reported mixed …

Cold water immersion (CWI) is very popular as a method reducing post-exercise muscle
stiffness, eliminating fatigue, decreasing exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), and …

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 …
