Ice Baths After Workout = Faster Recovery?
Video taken from the channel: Yuri Elkaim
During intense exercise, muscles build up waste products, including lactic acid. The theory is that cryotherapy helps your body remove waste products that interfere with muscle recovery. Exposing muscles to cold water may also slow the metabolic processes.Taking an after exercise plunge in an ice water bath (a tub of 12 to 15 degrees Celsius ice water) is a common practice among many elite athletes as a way to recover faster, and reduce muscle pain and soreness after intense training sessions or competitions.
While there is a strong belief that taking an ice bath after exercise speeds up recovery, there are studies that say otherwise. A study argued that active recovery such as light cooldown is a more effective means to repair and rebuild the muscles.Ice baths aren’t necessary, but they may help you recover just a bit faster.
If you have access to a cold tub (and you actually enjoy the experience), go ahead and soak a.The Facts. It is true that a small number of studies have report that after exercise, taking an ice bath may reduce delayed onset muscle soreness, but no good evidence of any other benefit*. In addition, the scientific community is unanimous about the fact that the majority of these studies lacked quality.
Moreover, the last study* (Fev, 2017) suggested that “cold water immersion is no more effective than.The Cold Hard Facts About Ice Baths (Cold Water Immersion) CWI has been shown to be a viable alternative recovery method for increased power production and neuromuscular function following.The principle belief is that ice baths or cold water submersion allows you to recover faster and reduce muscle pain and soreness after intense training sessions or competition.
From elite runners and cyclist to many professional rugby and football player.New evidence suggests ice baths do nothing to help muscle recovery after exercise. Ice baths have long been used by elite athletes and sports people after competition and training.
The assumption was that soaking in cold water promotes muscle recovery by reducing temperature, blood flow and inflammation in tissues of the muscles.Also called cold water immersion (CWI) or cryotherapy, the practice of taking a 10 to 15 minute dip in very cold water (50-59°F) after an intense exercise session or.Cold water immersion (CWI), otherwise known as ice-baths, plunges pools and cold water therapy is a recovery process involving the immersion of the body into cold water (≤15˚C/59˚F) immediately after exercise in an attempt to enhance the recovery process (2).The cold water from a shower after a workout decreases blood flow locally, reducing inflammation, stiffening the muscles and joints—thus decreasing pain (just like icing an injury).
This is “very important for immediate recovery and works well in the acute stages of injury or right after a workout,” she says.”We only found an effect in favor of cold water immersion when it was compared to doing nothing that is, passive rest after exercise,” says Chris Bleakley, PhD, a researcher at the University of.Ice Baths and Cold Water Immersion for Recovery Cold water immersion and ice baths are one of the most common recovery methods used in elite sports. Athletes have been taught that ice baths will help reduce inflammation post intense exercise and improve speed of recovery, which is a.The idea is that immersing the body in freezing cold water speeds up recovery after exercise by reducing temperature, blood flow and inflammation in tissues of the muscles.
A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that immersing yourself in cold water after resistance training didn’t result in any visible muscle growth. But if you are.

“might be helpful” why u make a vid on a topic u don’t know the answer to
So you think the cutting-edge-scientists working for the biggest soccer clubs in the world know less than you after reading through some studies on the internet? Why do all the greatest athletes of the world take ice baths, use cold chambers for recovery? Do their doctors not know their subject?
I don’t know from when the studies you used were, but even they contradicted themselves as you pointed out. Of course normal recovery by jogging or cycling is good as well, but ice baths certainly are very helpful or must have some advantage over normal recovery, or at least increase recovery if used additional to normal recovery exercises. Otherwise the big clubs wouldn’t make their players do it and spend the additional money on the chambers or ice baths.
He was Chewbacca but they shaved him and left him some fucking eye brows!!
ice bathing for only 30 seconds to a minute will do literally nothing for your body. 10 minutes is this minimum. otherwise dont waste you time
Lactic acid only lasts up to 2-3 minutes after that it leaves
I’m an 11 year old gymnast so I have very muscular legs. I decided to do jump squats. in total I did 150. I made my 12 year old sister (who is also a gymnast) do 1/5 of what I did. her legs are shaking and mine are burning and I keep falling, I can’t squat down at all.
Iv been reading the comments…
I didn’t hear a thing but my family did…..
Idk why people don’t comment about the actual vid and focus on insignificant sht like his eyebrows
What would be good for recovery / pain in the muscles as far as hot and cold? I do p90x3 so my muscles are usually pretty beat up, I like to go to my cold pool then jump in the jacuzzi. Is this working? If so am I doing it in the right order?
Is it ok to take or safe to take a shower right after working out?
I think this was really useful for normal atheletes inspiring them to not opt or even want expensive ice baths and just do a regular active recovery session! Thanks man
9:47 there is actually an answer to that from multiple doctors that have told me to put my ankle in ice to reduce inflammation so the pain can calm, the needed inflammation for recovery of an injury not soreness will be sufficient enough to still heal the injured area. In my experience ice recovery is BEST used for injury recovery if it is a tier one(sprain)
Will ice baths still be effective the day after strenuous activity.
TWO-MINUTE TUESDAY works fine.
The information you provide can be summarized in two minutes, but the supporting evidence is what makes a two-minute story longer.
Keep up the good work.
Key question you didnt consider. What happens if you do active recovery AND ice bath. Thats what you should do. Stretch, foam roll, recovery shake, ice bath and a good nights sleep = perfect recovery. Shouldnt do just one or the other.
I now I’m young and i was having sores every where in my body ice bath really works
Great video man! Everybody talking about his eyebrows need to know why they look like that before speaking about them. Anyway awesome video!
I can’t walk. I’m 11 too so my mom will question why I need those foam roller things
XD the comments are funnier than the eyebrows themselves hahahhahaha you guys are terrible xD
Best two minute Tuesday you’ve ever done. The way you identified key criteria to how the ice baths affected performance (through soreness and inflammation) and then figuring out if these things are helpful or more detrimental made all the difference! You had a wide array of articles and damn you really read up on them. A gentleman and a scholar.
Ladies help!!
After working out for a while, I woke up with muscle pain in my thighs, shoulders and arms. How am I suppose to take off my sports bra without my arms falling off
I love your vids bro!!:)) what is the name of your intro song??
deadass gotta ride my bike to my highschool for a 2 Hour basketball training. 2.5 miles each way. 5 mile bike ride and 2 hour workout kills my legs. fucking waddling like a penguin all around the house. Gotta repeat that shit almost daily. Goddamn the blisters are the worst though
What’s wrong with this guy’s face? (other than the eyebrows?..or is it just the eyebrows?) wtf…
I do 15 minute cold baths after each of my practices (track and CX-Definitely helps with leg recovery)
all these comments are about him looking like Mr.Clean or his eyebrows. Do your homework kids.
Great post Matt, if you want to change the name don’t fully change it but, 2 12 minute Tuesday will allow you to cover all aspects of the topics you choose. Really great insight that’s back with facts, looking forward to more.
This guy looks like a Wax Statue. Not one hair on his face other than those two caterpillars.
Very well researched and explained. Love these types of videos Matt. Keep them coming
I was laughing the whole time especially when he added the short clips
Omg my arms are and back is so sore I can even lift my arms up!!!how about the biceps muscle soreness
Football players have 2 sessions per day of training plus championships league and many other cup editions. How do they keep going to play with the same level and keeping their standards. I wouldn’t resist. So do you think Ice is not the reason?
Finally able to sit on the toilet after about 10 minutes haha been sat here watching this trying to build up the courage to get up
Why do you think pros use ice baths huh while you are in fiji doing nothing
I was all good until I took my leg weights off. Now I cant get up
Thank you for your talk. Really enjoyed it and it triggered my interest to learn something i thought it was proven to be the best way to recover. Personally, i dont see why I should put up with the painful ice bath to fool myself thinking i going to be okay. I would rather go for a walk and do some stretching exercises.
My suggestion fo the title is to take out the “ 2 minuets “ part from the title and come up with a more general title like “ become elite talks or BE Talks”. Then you can stretch the title depending on the finding to be something like
“ Become Elite Talks: Ice bath “
So that you can free yourself from the time issue and going over studies and books every week you want to share your opinion with us. I say “BE talks” that is standing for Become Elite Talks can also become your brand talk series! Cheers
the icebath is maybe working for someone because of the placebo effect
That’s some great info I want that mini sauna this is your friend katara from fb
This is by far one of the best videos about ice bath on YouTube. All the studies and citation are amazing and the way you broke it down to simple words is lovely. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
BRUH I EXERCISED TOO HARD FOR MY STOMACH I CANT EVEN GET UP quarantine be wanting me to be skinny too bad
you all talking about sitting on toilets, try on indian toilets.
sssssstop talking too much! Get straight to the idea! My legs are about to get deattached ain’t got time for Bla Bla
Matt, great video as usual.
There are a lot of other benefits to an ice bath, helps stimulate your immune system, develops your mental toughness (playing in the UK in winter), reduces the chances of getting cold/flu etc. You can usually find studies that are of opposing views, my suggestion is to try it out and see for yourself (this is good advice in any aspect of life).
I am almost 50, I played competitive 90 min match on Sat and had a 15 min ice bath. The next day I played another match which went to extra time (cup game which we won) and then had another ice bath. I am now working (standing desk) and my legs ache a bit and my performance in the second match was in line with other matches (I use Playr GPS to track my distance, sprints etc). I also stretch and do some foam rolling, its just part of my post-match routine along with cleaning my boots and replaying the game in my mind and making notes for my next training session and game.
An ice bath is uncomfortable but only for the first couple of minutes after that you go numb, discomfort should be something you embrace instead of run away from.
I would suggest you try it for yourself a few times and see if you feel better, the first time is always the worse! Wear socks so the initial toe dip is not as bad, compression shorts and a long sleeve top. There are plenty of youtube videos on what you need to do.
My arms my thighs my stomach hurts I have to stay in the couch almost everytime
Im a snowboarder and my home is in the montains but I have to walk 10-15 minutes after training is it gona work?
Just saw this video and the research is moving past this idea of ice baths.
What is the best product or brand to lost tons of fat? I read a lot of superb opinions on the internet about how Custokebon Secrets can assist you lost a lot of fat. Has anyone tested out this popular lose weight methods?
i had such a rough vb workout yesterday and i have to do it again tomorrow ugh
You’ve always went with the “listen to your body” idea and I think this applies to this. Your body inflames it’s muscles for a reason. Yes it hurts, but it exists for a reason, active recovery plus what you mentioned seems to be the right thing to do.
Thank you for great scientific info! Can’t wait to try all of your tips!
after an ice bath to you jump right into a warm shower? or is showering before recommended. i would think showering after would render the ice bath ineffective
The papers only look at muscle and skeletal recovery. You should look at nervous system recovery, which is the main point of cold immersion, hot cold exposure etc.
Great analysis although I feel this video just solely focused on recovery when there are other potential benefits for ice baths such as body composition, hormonal changes, more brown fat accumulation and even just something as simple as self discipline.
i would listen more if u would have narrated lol look like u green-screened ur eyebrows & dude talk like he got mouthful of spit
At least I know I’m not doing leg day wrong, everyone has the same problems
You didnt answer the main question dude. WHY it speeds up recovery???
2 days ago I went to the gym for the first time after quarantine. My arms are killing me! Incredible pain.
From what you read off I’d have to say fuck science lol Ice baths work good as shit
The mouth noises sobs I couldn’t even make it through the first minute
I’m only here because I’m tryna do. Some thing besides eat… during quarantine
Iv only started working out and now I can barely move my legs
Oof
Does anybody else actually like ice baths? Feels amazing after one
Thank you for all that hard work you put in this video. You earned my thumbs up.
So if I’m interpreting this right, all these methods are about equal? No one way is better than the other, so it’s basically whatever is convenient for the athlete themself? Jeez this definitely is interesting
I got a question. After a marathon runners wear blankets because their bodies are releasing heat. After my soccer I training I feel the same (I feel cold) is it ok for me to shower in cold water because I’m worried that cold water will increase the rate at which my body is releasing heat and I might end up with hypothermia?
Bro, don´t use the same name as Peter McKinons,s section. Good vid!
I’m not a fitness fanatic by any means but I cycle about 60 km, twice a week. I’m 50 yo so naturally my legs always felt tired the day after. I tried a post-cycle cold bath (5-7 Degrees C) for the first time and it worked wonders. My legs are no longer sore or stiff the day after a long cycle. So for me, cold baths work a treat. You don’t need ice, unless you live in a hot country where the mains water temperature is going to be high.
Pls stop making fun on his eyebrows or physical apperance. Its just not good his just sharing his knolegde to us so please if you just want to bully his video it’s better for you to turn off your phones and shut your self off too about him. Besides we must be thankfull because someone like him is giving some information that maybe most of us don’t know yet…shame of you bullies
Me: makes an ice bath Also me: is unable to enter said ice bath
I’m afraid of training my legs cos of the pain…like 1 day leg training, 2 weeks of serious pain…
Wow, just today I was suffering after leg day… Then this pops up in my recommenced.
lol like peter mckinnons two minute tuesdays. he also hardly ever sticks to two minutes
Thx for the good Video. (Question) If I don’t get soreness after workout, does that mean I have not torn my muscle fibers and no gain? I am really wondering about it. Because If I don’t know about this, it is hard to decide how much I train. Could you teach me this please?
Great video. How about “Soccer Science” for the series name?
I heard tomatoes are an inflammatory, not an anti inflammatory?
The thumbnail is exactly what happened to me right before I clicked on this video swear to god, can’t even take a shit
Please don’t foam roll lower back you will regret it so much
I STARTED WORKING IN LOCKDOWN TO IMPROVE MY PHYSIQUE… I HAD BARELY ANY PROBLEM UTIL MY BRAIN’S ATTENTION WAS DRAWN BY THE SKIPPING ROPES AND YOU KNOW WHAT EXACTLY HAPPEND NEXT MORNING
I just done my leg workout yesterday doing squats and my butt hurts lmao. Is this normal. Im a boy btw
1h of training + 30min shower + 1h30 cooking + 30min cardio + 1h of transport = 4h30 everyday dedicated to fitness, it becomes an unpaid part time job…
You’re right! You’re ABSOLUTELY right!! Great advice Matt!!!
Um well I was with my boyfriend and well I can barely lift my leg up
I just jump like 10 time and I have been sore for 4 days should I be worried
️️
Can recovery session be strenth trainjng on upper body and core and light weight/bodyweight on legs?
I do weights everyday for 3 hours a day and no breaks so I can’t take days off
I’m going through doms rn both my biceps are hard like rocks and I’m not even flexing and it’s painful to put both straight.
First 20 sec made me laugh hard coz he just said the things I am suffering right now
Cbd oil helps muscles recover. 1 rice grain length of cbd oil should be sufficient.
Hey matt just had a quick question. Im 5’8, 150 pounds just trying to maintain weight right now as I’m about 8% body fat so I’m in pretty good shape. I train for at least an hour a day and I go to the gym for another hour or so. I was just wondering what supplements you would recommend. I was taking vega sport before but I’ve stopped for the last month or two. Was wondering what you would recommend. Thanks! Love the videos!
Sitting on the toilet is my favourite thing after a very intense workout
I play football and our recommended time inside the ice bath is 10 minutes
What about people that don’t have a bath tub, instead they have that standing shower. What is an alternative to this?
For future investigation. There is a device called a FIRE FLY that is supposed to help with lower leg recovery after a hard game or workout. Could you please try it out and report your results.
Mike
What the fuck in the how to get rid of sourness video you said ice baths has completely no results
can you keep the microphone away from you please coz you smack your mouth and it’s annoying. msounds disgusting too
Anyone else here after there first day back at the gym after quarantine:/
i prefer doing all three for active recovery cold water immersion as soon as i come home from training, then foam roll/lacrosse ball, then stretch. the ice bath seems more awesome for calming down my central nervous system. but too much CWI isn’t good, since it’s not allowing for inflammation which is actually growth taking place. kinda weird.
You all are assholes, he most likely has alopecia universalis. A friend of mine has it. Causes them to lose all their hair including eye brows.
I’m here cuz I just benched 145 and squatted 160 with 5 sets of 10 and now my whole body hurts I’m 13 btw
Pls do a video on the pure oxygen therapy (not sure what it’s called). I remember Ronaldo using this to recover from his Euro 2016 injury
Legs are sore as fuck and I have track tommorow so I’m doing thi
I’m all for science in sports and I really appreciate someone that does their homework before posting a video. Usually you would hear someone saying “this is better because i think so”. Taking the time to properly research the subject to this level of detail is something that not everyone would do so good job:)!
after playing a 3 straight in baseball, I cant move at all. this helped, my legs had tennis ball size knots
I never realized how low the toilet was until my thigh muscles were sore
This guy has seriuse infomation that is super helpfull, and everyone is just calling out his eyebrows. Like comon guys
Tried working out first time woke up at morning due to immense pain on me left hand. Its like you wanna itch your muscles.
me: workouts secretly (because my brothers will make fun of me)
me: groaning every move because my thighs hurts
my whole family: giving me suspicious looks
whoever did those eyebrows must have come from the past just to erase his future
Anybody here after their first workout since quarantine started
Humans moan during pain and pleasure because they are the same thing
Most people: “who’s here because of quarantine”
“My body hurt after working out”
Me: “I GAVE LIKE 20 KID PIGGYBACK RIDES FOR HOURS AGAINST MY WILL”
My issue is always money. Either pay for training facility or pay for ice
Great content.. I was dying after a leg day and these tips diff will help
I been doing it backwards this whole time, I been doing hot baths ♀️
Wouldn’t you want your muscle inflamed to build muscle size after a workout. Cold-water immersion wont stunt the growth?
I love the fact that you chose to talk about your passion in a scientific way. It’s unique and cool, specially because you have supported yourself with a lot of evidence. Thank you so much!
I had 4 sets of 16 reps of squats iam 15y/o. My thigh are dead
2 days before i pulled out the grass from the ground.. Bt now i feel pain in my bck side of thigh while climbing stairs,. Sitting… I am not able to take anything from the floor bcz of weird pain..
Hi Matt, yesterday I played in a tournement with my team and I played very good, but it ended 0-0. Then we went into penalties and I missed. It ended 5-4 to the other team and I fell so bad, because I am the reason we lost. I can not get it out of my head and I really fell bad. Does anybody know how I can forget and move on?
How is my leg sore?
Well I was trying to swim in the pool for 5 hours and still struggled so now my legs are sore
Change the title to ‘Amazing therapy that maximizes performance, resilience, wellness and focus’.
Once I squatted through two three minute songs straight which was probably the stupidest thing I’ve done in my entire life…
My legs were sore for four weeks.
Looking for a scientific answer, this is the 12th site that pretends to know
Wish me luck guys got an important match in two days to move up in the best league
I did jumping jacks yesterday and my leg and arm muscles hurts A LOT
Ice baths and Cryo-therapy is good when you are in a situation like dec/jan in Premier League where you have several matches a week, at this time you are not trying to improve your physique, you are trying to maintain your achieved level of fitness and mitigate injuries. Hopefully old-school “pukeruns” where half the roster can’t walk for days during pre-season because of overtraining and instead of microtears you have macrotears that is in no way beneficial.
Can I just use a can good instead of a foam roller ♀️
Great video Matt! You touch on an important topic of knowing what “good pain” is, instead of automatically associating it with harm.
Hey Matt I wanted to know how could I get a trial at an American team being a Costa Rican. I’ve never had an agent but I’ve played at previous level from division 1 here which is called “Alto rendimiento”
Darin Steen Seen you on stream at the poker tournament over the weekend
