Highlights • Local heat applications can have a positive effect on pain, physical function, disability, range of motion, quality of life, muscular strength, and tissue stiffness. • The positive effects of local heat applications can be observed predominantly in acute conditions. • Long-term effects and effects in chronic conditions are questionable and need further investigations.
The aim of this study was to compare i) the physiological responses following cold-water immersion (CWI) and partial-body cryotherapy (PBC) and ii) the effects on recovery following a muscle-damaging protocol (5 x 20 drop jumps). Nineteen healthy males were randomly allocated into either a CWI (10 °C for 10 min; n = 9) or a PBC (-60 °C for 30 sec, -135 °C for 2 min; n = 10) group.
