Summary
This study looked at whether taking a 10-minute cold water bath (55°F) after training helps NCAA athletes recover and perform better. 75 volleyball, football, and cross country athletes wore a WHOOP wristband to track sleep, heart rate, and other body signals. They also did jump and strength tests. The goal was to see if cold water immersion improves recovery and performance compared to no cold water.
