Cryotherapy more effective than active recovery
Hinders development of muscle strength and hypertrophy
Main goal of cryotherapy
Short term recovery for competition setting
Cryotherapy induces mitochondrial and angiogenic expression
Inhibits stress response
Inflammatory response is critical for muscle repair
Cryotherapy reduces anabolic signaling and satellite cells
Active recovery increases Type II fiber, and total cross-sectional area
Unintended harmful effects
Proper usage
Protocols for body composition
Optimal time and temperature
Improper procedures
Increased inflammation with excessive temperatures
Leads to increased cardiac load
Reduces clinical signs of inflammation
Vasoconstriction and reduced nerve conduction velocity
Reduce inflammation and secondary damage
Reduces limb swelling and edema
Hydrostatic pressure and increase in central blood volume
Induces cardiac parasympathetic reactivation
Autonomic control of heart and blood vessels
Vasoconstriction triggers baroreflex
Restores vagal heart rate indices to pre-exercise levels
Increase in blood volume positively effects HRV indices
Analgesic effects of the cold improve recovery
Achieves shorter recovery time
Alleviates DOMS and offers greater functional recovery
Reduces sensation of pain
Increase norepinephrine and noradrenaline
Requires optimal temperatures
Reduction in skin, muscle, and core temperatures
