Water Therapy

Studies show up to 96 hour reduction in muscle soreness after cold water immersion
Consideration should be given to the amount of time until the next training session or competition, does the exercise involve muscle damage?
Repeating the recovery may be beneficial with contrast water therapy
Maximal short duration efforts? If so the cold water immersion may be detrimental. Consideration must be given to potential change in muscle and core temperature and whether it will enhance performance or reduce performance
High intensity efforts eg. crossfit comp – do not recommend cold water immersion to close to that effort.
Need to warm up muscle, think about time between exercise efforts
