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 …

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of repeated exposure to local
heat therapy (HT) on skeletal muscle function, myofiber morphology, capillarization, and …

Key points Protein ingestion and cooling are strategies employed by athletes to improve

Background Cold-water immersion (CWI) is one of the main recovery methods used in
sports, and is commonly utilized as a means to expedite the recovery of performance during …

Skeletal muscle is a plastic tissue that regenerates ad integrum after injury and adapts to
raise mechanical loading/contractile activity by increasing its mass and/or myofiber size, a …

Considerable inter‐individual heterogeneity exists in the muscular adaptations to resistance
training. It has been proposed that fast‐twitch fibres are more sensitive to hypertrophic …

The application of post-exercise cooling (eg, cold water immersion) and post-exercise
heating has become a popular intervention which is assumed to increase functional …

In the last decade, cold water immersion (CWI) has emerged as one of the most popular post-
