Effects of Whole Body Cryotherapy and Cold Water Immersion on Knee Skin Temperature

Hypohydration effect on finger skin temperature and blood flow during cold-water finger immersion.

This study was conducted to determine whether hypohydration (Hy) alters blood flow, skin temperature, or cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) during peripheral cooling. Fourteen subjects sat in a thermoneutral environment (27 degrees C) during 15-min warm-water (42 degrees C) and 30-min cold-water (4 degrees C) finger immersion (FI) while euhydrated (Eu) and, again, during Hy. Hy (-4% body weight) ...

Beneficial Effects of the Whole-body Cryotherapy on Sport Haemolysis

Background. Sport’s anemia is a common risk for athletes. The principal source of an accelerated turnover of the erythrocytes in sportsmen is the intravascular hemolysis. This phenomenon is induced by mechanical breakage for impact of feet and muscular contractions, but also by osmotic changes causing membrane fragility, typically evident after exercise, when free radicals are increased. Wholeb...

P02.181. Heart rate variability and peripheral temperature during whole body immersion at different water temperatures

Methods Twenty-one healthy subjects (age: 24.3 ± 2.3 years, 11 female) underwent WI with water temperatures of 33°C (WI33), 36°C (WI36), 39°C (WI39). The procedure was: supine rest (30 minutes), WI (20 minutes) and supine rest (30 minutes). An ECG, the nasal/oral airflow, core body and temperature of extremities were recorded. The results of the last 5 minutes at the end of each interval are pr...
