Seeking safe harbour: Water immersion for women with complex pregnancy
BACKGROUND Water immersion is used by women, particularly within midwifery-led settings, as a strategy to manage the sensations of labour. Low-risk women who have used water immersion in labour express feelings of increased relaxation, support and control in their labour and birth experience. Being …

The effects of water immersion on recovery in Australian football
… damage and inflammation. The use of both cold water immersion (CWI) and contrast water therapy (CWT) as a means of post-exercise recovery is becoming more prevalent in the team sport environment. Both modalities are utilised in an attempt to enhance physical performance recovery while reducing …

Short term recovery with cold water immersion following cycling in the heat
… of a bout of exercise in the heat, cold water immersion (CWI) is sometimes used by athletes to rapidly decrease their core temperature, and may facilitate recovery. Few studies however, have examined the effects of CWI after exercise in the heat on short term recovery. In addition, …

Peripheral blood flow changes in response to post-exercise cold water immersion
… to be the primary mechanism by which cold water immersion (CWI) enhances short-term (h) recovery and improves exercise capacity in the heat. However, improvement in exercise performance may be optimised at a given cooling magnitude. Water temperature and immersion duration influence the …

The effect of post-resistance exercise water immersion on muscular adaptation and performance in athletes
… Post-exercise recovery strategies (e.g., water immersion) are used in Olympic and teamsport training settings to induce recovery and enhance subsequent performance. Recent suggestions that cold water immersion negatively affects short- (e.g., protein synthesis, hypertrophy signalling …

The Influence of Cold-Water Immersion on Limb Blood Flow and Thermoregulatory Responses to Exercise
… leading to suboptimal performance levels. Cold-water immersion (CWI) has become a widely used post-exercise recovery method to accelerate the recovery process by purportedly reducing the symptoms associated with exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). However, the underlying physiological …

EFFECT OF POST-EXERCISE COLD WATER IMMERSION ON MOLECULAR RESPONSES TO HIGH-INTENSITY INTERMITTENT EXERCISE
… adapt to the prescribed training stimulus. Cold water immersion (CWI) is now widely used by athletes to enhance the rate of recovery following training and competition. However, little information currently exists with respect to its influence on skeletal muscle adaptation. Therefore, the aim of …

Turning up the heat: can post-exercise hot water immersion be used to manipulate acute physiological responses & chronic adaptation following resistance training?
… aspects of the exercise-adaptation cycle. Hot water immersion (HWI) is a form of heat therapy which is anecdotally reported to be used by athletes, whilst the modern advent of Jacuzzis and immersion pools in an increasing number of leisure facilities make it an easily accessible strategy. HWI …

Mechanistic Control of The Coldinduced Augmentation of The Transcriptional Co-Activator PGC-1α
Cold water immersion is commonly used to alleviate the stress and damage that ensues following strenuous exercise. Alongside its purported performance and analgesic benefits recent literature highlights the positive impact it may have towards endurance adaptive responses, particularly on key …
