“…Five articles measured subjective pain after damaging exercise, commonly using a visual analogue scale [7,12,14,15,32]. Functional or performance based measures including MVC, muscular power or endurance and sport-specific skills were measured in nine studies [7, 12-15, 17, 27, 29, 33].…”

“…Highly trained athletes were recruited in ten studies [2,15,17,20,21,26,27,30,31,33], with the remaining six articles comparing healthy, physically active participants [7,11,12,14,29,32]. Of the 224 participants recruited across all studies included in this review, the mean age was 24.9 ± 3.5 years.…”

“…Ten articles used a crossover design in which subjects experienced both cr yotherapy and a control treatment [13-15, 17, 20, 21, 26, 27, 29, 30]. Control groups that received no recovery treatment were used in comparison with the WBC intervention group in four studies [7,12,31,32]. Two research groups took baseline measures of variables from participants prior to commencement of the testing period with WBC, to compare results before and after treatment [2,33].…”

“…Hausswirth (2011), Fonda (2013) and Ferreira (2015) also found both a faster recovery of MVC or performance markers with WBC treatment alongside a reduction in pain [12,14,15]. These findings may suggest a connection between WBC reducing pain and promoting a faster return to peak functional capacity, both important factors in sport-specific recovery.…”

“…This reduced force-producing capacity, along with the onset of pain, has been identified as a factor that increases the risk of injury for the affected muscle groups [5]. Across all five laboratory-controlled studies that reported pain measurement, a visual analogue scale was used [7,12,14,15,32]. Four studies found that WBC reduced pain levels at rest by at least 18 % when compared to a control at 48 h post treatment [12,14,15,32].…”

AbStR AC tThis review aims to evaluate the current body of literature investigating the effect of whole body cryotherapy on recovery after exercise. A systematic search was conducted to investigate the effect of whole body cryotherapy (WBC, exposure to temperatures between − 110 to − 190 °C) on markers of recovery after damaging exercise in healthy, physically active subjects. Of the 16 eligible articles extracted, ten induced muscle damage using controlled exercise in a laboratory setting, while six induced damage during sport-specific training. Results indicated that muscle pain was reduced in 80 % of studies following WBC. Two applied studies found recovery of athletic capacity and performance with WBC improved, variables of this nature were also improved in 71 % of studies using controlled exercise. Further benefits of WBC treatment included reduction of systemic inflammation and lower concentrations of markers for muscle cell damage. These results suggest that WBC may improve recovery from muscle damage, with multiple exposures more consistently exhibiting improvements in recovery from pain, loss of muscle function, and markers of inflammation and damage. The diversity in muscle damage protocols, exposure timing with regards to exercise, as well as temperatures, duration and frequencies of exposure, make specific recommendations preliminary at present. 1049This document was downloaded for personal use only.

There is insufficient evidence to determine whether whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) reduces self-reported muscle soreness, or improves subjective recovery, after exercise compared with passive rest or no WBC in physically active young adult males. There is no evidence on the use of this intervention in females or elite athletes. The lack of evidence on adverse events is important given that the exposure to extreme temperature presents a potential hazard. Further high-quality, well-reported research in this area is required and must provide detailed reporting of adverse events.

Background and Aims: The use of whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) for athletic recovery is becoming increasingly popular despite the lack of evidence supporting the dosage parameters in its implementation. The aim of the current study was to investigate the dose-response effects of WBC following match-play in elite rugby league players. Methods: We observed endocrine (salivary cortisol and testosterone) and biochemical (creatine kinase) responses following three separate post-match recovery periods in elite rugby league players. Comparisons were made between a single exposure (3 min at −120°C to -−135°C) of WBC to two consecutive exposures (2 × 3 min), to a control (no exposure) during the recovery trials. Recovery characteristics were measured 36 h prematch, immediately postmatch, and 60 h postmatch. Results: Cortisol concentrations remained unchanged in its pattern of response during the postmatch recovery periods across all WBC doses. Testosterone concentrations increased significantly (p < 0.0005) at 60 h, in the WBC2 trial. The Testosterone:Cortisol ratio increased significantly (p < 0.0005) at 60 h in the WBC2 trial, while during the WBC0 trial it did not recover to baseline levels. No significant effect on creatine kinase concentration was observed, although a statistical trend was shown in WBC2 for improved reduction of this marker at 60 h. Conclusions: These findings suggest that two, consecutive exposures to WBC immediately following fatiguing rugby league competition appear to stimulate an increase to the anabolic endocrine profile of participants by 60 h post-match, and may reduce the CK concentration. Coaches and athletes should consider the treatment dosage of WBC when used to optimize the desired response following a high-stress environment.
