TI  - Effect of hydrotherapy on recovery from fatigue.
PG  - 539-44
AB  - The present study investigated the effects of three hydrotherapy interventions on 
      next day performance recovery following strenuous training. Twelve cyclists 
      completed four experimental trials differing only in 14-min recovery 
      intervention: cold water immersion (CWI), hot water immersion (HWI), contrast 
      water therapy (CWT), or passive recovery (PAS). Each trial comprised five 
      consecutive exercise days of 105-min duration, including 66 maximal effort 
      sprints. Additionally, subjects performed a total of 9-min sustained effort (time 
      trial - TT). After completing each exercise session, athletes performed one of 
      four recovery interventions (randomly assigned to each trial). Performance 
      (average power), core temperature, heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived 
      exertion (RPE) were recorded throughout each session. Sprint (0.1 - 2.2 %) and TT 
      (0.0 - 1.7 %) performance were enhanced across the five-day trial following CWI 
      and CWT, when compared to HWI and PAS. Additionally, differences in rectal 
      temperature were observed between interventions immediately and 15-min 
      post-recovery; however, no significant differences were observed in HR or RPE 
      regardless of day of trial/intervention. Overall, CWI and CWT appear to improve 
      recovery from high-intensity cycling when compared to HWI and PAS, with athletes 
      better able to maintain performance across a five-day period.
