Effects of seated and standing cold water immersion on recovery from repeated sprinting

This study investigated the effects of two different hydrostatic pressures (seated or standing) during cold water immersion at attenuating the deleterious effects of strenuous exercise on indices of damage and recovery. Twenty four male well-trained games players (age 23 ± 3 years; body mass 81.4 ± 8.7 kg: O2max 57.5 ± 4.9 ml∙kg−1∙min−1) completed the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST) and were randomly assigned to either a control,...
