Short term recovery with cold water immersion following cycling in the heat
… completion 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
… considered 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 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
… to 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 …

A survey to determine the recovery strategies that medical support staff of rugby teams use to improve recovery of the players
… and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. Ice/cold water immersion is a relatively new and popular recovery strategy derived from cryotherapy.

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 …

The impact of cryotherapy versus placebo interventions on recovery following strenuous exercise, and adaptations to resistance training
… dependent upon exercise mode. Cryotherapy, (cold water immersion (CWI) or whole body cryotherapy (WBC)), is commonly utilised in an attempt to minimise the negative impact of these symptoms on subsequent performance. Although WBC is becoming increasingly popular, there remains a lack of …

The effects of water immersion on recovery in Australian football
… muscle 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 …

Repressors vs. Low- and High-Anxious Coping Styles: EEG, Heart Rate, and Blood Pressure Differences During Cognitive and Cold Pressor Pain Stressors
… stimuli), and physiological stress (cool water vs. ice cold water left hand immersions). Participants were 49 healthy, right handed university undergraduate women, chosen with Weinberger et al.'s (1979) criteria according to their differentially extreme scores on the Marlowe-Crowne Social …

Investigation of Emergency Medical Technicians Practice and Beliefs Regarding the Recognition and Treatment of Exertional Heat Stroke
… (T<sub>re</sub>) for an accurate diagnosis and cold water-immersion (CWI) for the treatment of Exertional Heat Stroke (EHS) for an optimal outcome. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) play a critical role for the diagnosis and treatment of EHS as they may be the first to arrive on scene, however …

The use of recovery methods by professional soccer teams in South Africa
… (i.e. stretching, massage, active recovery or cold water immersion). While nutrition and hydration are very well utilised across South African soccer, sleep interventions remain under utilised. Most teams sourced protocols based on anecdotal evidence, therefore recovery method implementation …

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 …

Team Physicians’ Practice Beliefs Regarding the Recognition and Treatment of Exertional Heat Stroke
… temperature assessment (T<sub>re</sub>) and cold-water immersion (CWI) are the gold standards for the recognition and treatment of exertional heat stroke (EHS), but athletic trainers (ATs) are reluctant to implement them regularly into clinical practice. ATs work under the guidance of a …

Effects of external and internal precooling on sudo- and vasomotor responses and adaptations to heat acclimation
… Of the various precooling techniques, cold water immersion (CWI) and ingestion of ice slushy (ICE) are different in terms of application (external versus internal) and their ensued effects on the sweat response, skin temperature (Tsk) and Tcore. Therefore, the primary purpose of this …

Muscle adaptations to post-exercise cooling
… 10 to 16 training sessions∙wk-1. The use of cold water immersion (CWI) as a recovery intervention has emerged as a strategy to maintain training performances between sessions. However, its concurrent influence on muscle aerobic adaptations to training is unclear. Thus, the overall purpose of …

Advances in medical infrared thermography
… the core and the body extremities. We use "cold stress" induced by cold water immersion (CWI) as a proxy for sepsis. Toward this goal, we proposed a fully automated methodology for calculating core vs. extremity ETD based on the frontal and lateral view of the face. We developed a framework …
