Abstract

After training or a competition bad recovery can produce high physiological stress, overload and fatigue in athletes, which can reduce physical performance. Thus, physiotherapy applies different types of physical agents like hydrotherapy as a recovery method in sport to ensure every day training and reduce injury risk. There are many hydrotherapy applications, but cold-water immersion is one of the most used and recognized recovery method in sport. In cold-water immersion, lower limbs are immersed in cold water during a short period. In this sense, there are many researches but cold-water immersion effects are not clear and there are controversial results. In this article, we described hydrotherapy theorems and then, we detailed cold-water immersion contraindications, uses and effects as a recovery method in sport.
