“…Numerous studies which evaluated the effects of cooling or heating have assessed maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) torque [20,25,[29][30][31][32][33], 1 repetition maximum (1-RM) strength [34,35], or electrically evoked muscle force [20], as primary functional outcome measures (Table 1). Other studies have employed various jump tests to assess the post-exercise recovery of power generation which is relevant to fast movements in sports [29].…”

The application of post-exercise cooling (e.g., cold water immersion) and post-exercise heating has become a popular intervention which is assumed to increase functional recovery and may improve chronic training adaptations. However, the effectiveness of such post-exercise temperature manipulations remains uncertain. The aim of this comprehensive review was to analyze the effects of post-exercise cooling and post-exercise heating on neuromuscular function (maximal strength and power), fatigue resistance, exercise performance, and training adaptations. We focused on three exercise types (resistance, endurance and sprint exercises) and included studies investigating (1) the early recovery phase, (2) the late recovery phase, and (3) repeated application of the treatment. We identified that the primary benefit of cooling was in the early recovery phase (< 1 h post-exercise) in improving fatigue resistance in hot ambient conditions following endurance exercise and possibly enhancing the recovery of maximal strength following resistance exercise. The primary negative impact of cooling was with chronic exposure which impaired strength adaptations and decreased fatigue resistance following resistance training intervention (12 weeks and 4–12 weeks, respectively). In the early recovery phase, cooling could also impair sprint performance following sprint exercise and could possibly reduce neuromuscular function immediately after endurance exercise. Generally, no benefits of acute cooling were observed during the 24–72-h recovery period following resistance and endurance exercises, while it could have some benefits on the recovery of neuromuscular function during the 24–48-h recovery period following sprint exercise. Most studies indicated that chronic cooling does not affect endurance training adaptations following 4–6 week training intervention. We identified limited data employing heating as a recovery intervention, but some indications suggest promise in its application to endurance and sprint exercise.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare two cold water immersion (CWI) protocols, continuous and fractionated, to optimize the recovery of Handball players after on recovery from exercise resulting in exercise-induced muscle damage. Material: Ten male Handball players (age: 15 ± 1.4 years, mass index: 67.2 ± 5.1 kg, height: 176.6 ± 7.30) voluntarily participated in the study. After three 90-minute training sessions (average heart rate 160 ± 15.81, 156 ± 5.53 and 156 ± 12.24 bpm) per week, participants were divided into 03 groups. The first experimental group (GE1) in continuous immersion (CWIC) of (12 minutes, 12± 0.4° C), a second experimental group (GE2) in fractional immersion (CWIF) of (4 x 2 min at 12 ± 0.4° C + 1 min out of water) and a control group (GC) in passive recovery. Body mass indices (BMI), countermovement (Countermovement jump) and muscle pain (Intensity of pain in the thighs) were measured. Results : The results concerning the percentage differences in the variation of the CMJ occurred respectively at 24h (Z = 12.62, p = 0.004) and 48h (Z = 16.22, p <0.001) compared to the control group. In addition, the results for muscle volume did not report any significant interaction (F (5.64) = 3.42, p = 0.078). The results of both protocols showed their effectiveness in reducing pain intensity by 24 and 48 hours after intense training (F (3.54) = 2.91, p = 0.016, p2 = 0.24). Conclusion: In conclusion, continuous and fractionated cold water immersion is beneficial for neuromuscular recovery 24 hours after intense exercise. The results also demonstrate a rapid recovery of handball players from their physical potential required in high level competitions.

“…Semelhante à outras intervenções, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] o presente estudo também verificou que a IAF não influenciou nenhum parâmetro estudado (CQ, KGST e parâmetros isocinéticos). Allan e Mawhinney 28 descreveram que embora a IAF seja muito utilizada no meio esportivo com a premissa de favorecer a recuperação do atleta, essa alternativa ainda carece de comprovação científica.…”

RESUMOIntrodução: A imersão em água fria (IAF) tem sido usada habitualmente para a recuperação muscular, mesmo com evidências limitadas sobre sua eficácia. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os efeitos da IAF depois de uma sessão de treinamento de atletas de jiu-jitsu, sobre creatina quinase (CQ), testes funcionais de força e parâmetros isocinéticos. Métodos: Doze atletas de jiu-jitsu (idade 21,75 ± 3,10 anos; IMC 24,65 ± 3,81 kg/m 2 ; tempo de treinamento 3,41 ± 0,51 anos) foram recrutados. Considerando que o estudo é cruzado, cada grupo teve a participação dos 12 atletas com wash-out de 30 dias. Os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos experimentais: (I) Grupo controle (CON), no qual os atletas não foram submetidos à IAF e (II) Grupo IAF, no qual os atletas foram submetidos à IAF (~12º C) durante seis minutos. O esforço físico foi realizado em uma sessão de treino com simulação de lutas de jiu-jitsu, com quatro lutas de cinco minutos cada e intervalo de três minutos entre elas. As variáveis CQ plasmática, protocolo estático e dinâmico do Kimono Grip Strength Test e parâmetros isocinéticos (pico de torque, trabalho e potência) foram avaliadas antes e depois dos procedimentos experimentais de recuperação. Para a análise estatística foi usada a análise de variância de dois fatores (tempo e tratamento). O nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultados: Observou-se o efeito do tempo ao comparar CQ plasmática (incremento de 174,39 ± 99,95 UI/l para o CON e incremento de 187,91 ± 113,02 UI/l para o IAF) e teste estático do KGST (delta de -5,83 ± 9,35 s para o CON e delta de -2,83 ± 13,94 s para o IAF) antes e depois dos procedimentos experimentais de recuperação, porém, sem efeito do tratamento (P > 0,05). Os parâmetros isocinéticos não foram influenciados. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a IAF não promoveu recuperação pós-esforço em atletas de jiu-jitsu. Nível de Evidência II; ECRC de menor qualidade.Descritores: Creatina quinase; Crioterapia; Artes marciais; Força muscular; Reabilitação. (age 21.75 ± 3.10 years; BMI 24.65 ± 3.81 kg/m²; training time 3.41 ± 0.51 CWI, and (II) CWI group, in which athletes underwent CWI (~ 12 °C) 75 ± 3,10 años, IMC 24,65 ± 3,81 kg/m², tiempo de entrenamiento 3,41 ± 0,51 años) Considerando a modalidade jiu-jitsu, deve-se destacar que esses atletas são submetidos a tarefas intermitentes e de alta intensidade, impactando inúmeros sistemas orgânicos do praticante. 2 Embora seja uma prática esportiva muito utilizada no Brasil, poucos são os estudos científicos com esses atletas. 3,4 Nesse sentido, é fundamental a identificação de estratégias que promovam de maneira mais eficiente a recuperação pós-treino nessa população. ABSTRACT Introduction: Cold-water immersion (CWI) has been commonly used for muscle recovery, even with limited evidence of its efficacy. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of CWI after a training session of jiu-jitsu athletes on creatine kinase (CK), functional strength tests, and isokinetic parameters. Methods: Twelve...
