Abstract in brief

  • The study compares coldwater immersion (CWI) and whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) to see which more effectively aids recovery after muscle damage from eccentric hamstring exercises.
  • CWI showed moderate benefits over WBC in improving jump performance 72 hours after exercise, reducing soreness at 48 hours, and enhancing perceived recovery 24 hours post-exercise.
  • Overall, CWI was more effective than WBC in accelerating recovery, lowering muscle soreness, and improving the perception of recovery during the 48-hour period following intense exercise.]

Cold water immersion (10℃ x10min) vs. Whole body cryotherapy (-110℃ x3min) の効果を比較した研究なんだけど、読んでて「高価な機器を用いることが大切なわけじゃないよ」と言われているような気がした。 https://t.co/pw2kHoA7bV

@AnnaMgL33 כל הנושא של קרותרפיה יחסית חדש ואין מספיק מחקר. הוא נע בין טבילה במים בפלוס 10⁰ צלסיוס ועד שהיה בתא של מינוס 110⁰ עם אוויר קר. אז כנראה שלא נגרם נזק משלוש דקות במינוס 110, אבל גם אין הוכחה חד משמעית ליעילות הטיפול. https://t.co/EkzumNeOFt
