Cold shower helps to quickly restore lost power

Cold shower helps athletes to recover quickly from serious competition, say Australian researchers. The scientists studied 12 cyclists. At the five-day program of events Each day of competition athletes use one of the following water treatment: immersion in water at 15 degrees Celsius for 14 minutes immersed in water at 38 degrees for 14 minutes, alternating hot and cold water for 14 minutes or 14 minutes break. The study was published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine. Experts have found that the hot water recovery of strength athlete acts in the same way as a regular holiday. The researchers compared the effect of water with different temperatures - cool, warm and consistent rotation. All three types of water treatments are becoming more popular among athletes. The result was that the check-in was smaller time for the cyclists who took treatment in cold water or cold showers. In contrast, those who took a warm shower, or just relax, sports scores deteriorated. These scholars favor the use of contrast agents, water treatment or treatment with cold water immediately after the race.
