Multiple Cold-Water Immersions Attenuate Muscle Damage but not Alter Systemic Inflammation and Muscle Function Recovery: A Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial.


ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of multiple cold-water immersions (CWIs) on muscle function, markers of muscle damage, systemic inflammation and ECM degradation following exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Thirty physically active males were randomly assigned to either a control (n?=?15) or cold-water immersion (CWI) group (n?=?15). The CWI group performed one immersion (10?°C for 20?min) at post-exercise and every 24?h for the following 72?h, while the control group remained in a seated position during these corresponding periods. Muscle strength, vertical jump height, muscle thickness, delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), systemic creatine kinase (CK), C-reactive protein (CRP), inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity were assessed at Pre, Post, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 168?h following EIMD. No significant time?×?group interaction was obtained for muscle strength, vertical jump height recovery and MMP-2 activity (p?>?0.05). At 24?h, muscle thickness from the CWI group returned to baseline and was lower than the control (p?=?0.04). DOMS returned to baseline at 168?h for the CWI group (p?=?0.109) but not for the control (p?=?0.008). At 168?h, CK showed a time-group difference with a greater peak for the control group (p?=?0.016). In conclusion, multiple CWIs attenuated muscle damage, but not altered systemic inflammation and muscle function recovery.
