The Claim
In female soccer players, cold water immersion performed after a match is associated with a faster recovery of vertical jump performance at 24 hours post-exercise compared to thermoneutral water immersion, suggesting a potential enhancement in short-term functional recovery.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking a cold water bath after a soccer game might help female players bounce back faster the next day compared to a lukewarm bath, especially when it comes to jumping ability.
See the scientific wording
Cold water immersion following a match is associated with a more rapid recovery of vertical jump performance at 24 hours post-exercise in female soccer players compared to thermoneutral water immersion, indicating a potential improvement in short-term functional recovery.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that female soccer players who used cold water after a game bounced back faster in their jumping ability after 24 hours compared to those in lukewarm water, which supports the idea that cold water helps them recover quicker.
