Sports periodization has traditionally focused on the exercise aspect of athletic preparation,
while neglecting the integration of other elements that can impact an athlete's readiness for …

In the formerly published part I of this two-part review, we examined fatigue after soccer
matchplay and recovery kinetics of physical performance, and cognitive, subjective and …

Elite-level athletic training and competition is accompanied by the recovery of a series of
physiological stressors. The physiological stress will vary considerably depending upon the …

The aim of this review and meta-analysis was to critically determine the possible effects of
different cooling applications, compared to non-cooling, passive post-exercise strategies, on …

Water immersion is increasingly being used by elite athletes seeking to minimize fatigue and
accelerate post-exercise recovery. Accelerated short-term (hours to days) recovery may …

Background Many strategies are in use with the intention of preventing or minimising
delayed onset muscle soreness and fatigue after exercise. Cold‐water immersion, in water …

Enhanced recovery following physical activity and exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)
has become a priority for athletes. Consequently, a number of post-exercise recovery …

Background Studies investigating the effects of cold-water immersion (CWI) on the recovery
of athletic performance, perceptual measures and creatine kinase (CK) have reported mixed …
