Effects of active and cold-water immersion recovery strategies on perceived well-being and physical readiness: a crossover study conducted after small-sided soccer games
Abstract:Purpose. The study investigated the effect of active recovery (Ar) and cold-water immersion (CWI) recovery strategies on the speed of recovery after small-sided games (SSGs) in soccer players. Methods. A crossover design was employed to divide 24 male soccer players from a first division Iranian National League (age: 22.3 ± 2.6 years) into 4 experimental conditions: active-active, active-CWI, CWI-active, and CWI-CWI. Heart rate (Hr) variations (standard deviation of normal r-r intervals [SDNN], log-transformed… Show more
