This has been such a hot subject to discuss with my athletes & patients recently

.

Yet alone to put yourself through so you can feel the benefits for muscle recovery

.

I have had to pleasure to perform weekly cold plunges after long training sessions on Saturday mornings

.

And what an eye opener it was!

.

For muscle recovery, current research found that:

• 11 minutes a week (i.e. 3-4 sets of 2-3 minute exposures)
• Optimal cold water temperature ~ 59*F
• Ending the day with cold plunge [specifically for muscle recovery]
• Increase in norepinephrine hormone / neurotransmitter (aka adrenaline)
• Regulates cortisol levels more precisely
