Dantas, Glauko; Barros, Alef; Silva, Bianca; Belém, Louise; Ferreira, Vitoria; Fonseca, Ana; Castro, Pedro; Santos, Thiago; Lemos, Telma; Hérickson, Wouber – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2020
The use of strategies to assure better post-effort recovery is frequent in sports settings. There are several interventions available for exercise induced muscle damage recovery, but cold-water immersion (CWI) stands out among them. The effects of CWI are unclear in the literature and, although the number of street runners has been growing, there…
