N2 - The purpose was to compare 14[degrees]C (CWI14[degrees]C) and 5[degrees]C (CWI5[degrees]C) cold water immersion following intermittent running. On three occasions, nine male team-sport players undertook 12 min of CWI14[degrees]C, CWI5[degrees]C or non-immersed seated recovery (CON) following 45 min of intermittent running exercise. Maximal cycling performance and markers of recovery were measured before and in the 0 - 72 h after exercise. Peak power output (PPO) was immediately reduced following all interventions (d = 1.8). CWI5[degrees]C was more effective at restoring PPO than CWI14[degrees]C (d = 0.38) and CON (d = 0.28) 24 h post-exercise while both CON (d = 0.20) and CWI5 (d = 0.37) were more effective than CWI14[degrees]C after 48 h. CWI was more effective than CON at restoring PPO 72 h post-exercise (d = 0.28 - 0.30). Mean power output (MPO) was higher in CON compared to CWI5[degrees]C (d = 0.30) and CWI14[degrees]C (d = 0.21) but there was no difference between CWI5[degrees]C and CWI14[degrees]C (d = 0.08). CWI5[degrees]C was more effective than CWI14[degrees]C for restoring MPO to baseline levels 24 h (d = 0.28) and 72 h (d = 0.28) post-exercise; however, CON was more, or equally, effective as CWI5[degrees]C and CWI14[degrees]C throughout. Lactate and creatine kinase concentrations were unaffected. Perceived muscle soreness remained elevated in CWI5 and CON throughout but was similar to baseline in CWI14[degrees]C after 72 h. In conclusion, repeated bouts of exercise are initially impaired following 5[degrees]C and 14[degrees]C CWI, but PPO may be improved 72 h post-exercise. CWI is not recommended for acute recovery based on these data. Athletes and coaches should use the time currently allocated to CWI for more effective, alternative recovery modalities.© 2017, National Strength and Conditioning Association.
