In reply to Diego Morales. Similar time and duration has been used before: PMID: 25760154 If you do a shorter protocol, the effects will likely be less. This would require more subjects to clearly see if that smaller effect is real, or just chance. So it's just safer to do a longer protocol to get a clear conclusion.

Interesting, 20 minutes in cold water seems rather long to me, do people do that? I guess mostly only pro-athletes? But the study is about recreational athletes.. at the gyms i visit no-one takes a cold bath or shower longer than 3 minutes (if at all)

Speaking for myself, this recreational athlete just takes a hot sauna for 10 minutes and then a cold shower for 1 minute after resistance exercise.

Hi! First thanks for sharing your work I was wondering why you choose a CWI of 8 degrees and 20 minutes? I’ve read (briefly) the section method and didn’t find an explanation for this And since the research I know used something around 10 degrees and 10 minutes of CWI (like PMID 26174323) I wonder why choosing more time and less temperature Thanks again for all your work, hug from Argentina
