Also seen one about Andy Murray- he had baths full of ice. They claimed to have data on improved healing etc. Is this all bollocks then? Are cold showers in the morning just an unnecessary fad amongst health fanatics? Can't say I've ever had a cold morning shower, or an ice bath so wouldn't have an idea. Quote

Yeah the benefits are massively overstated. There's some (weak evidence) that they might reduce stress and anxiety after 12 hours. But no evidence that they stimulate protein synthesis or muscle growth or help help repair tissue damage or any of the other claims you hear about them. And the evidence for cryotherapy is even shonkier than I've baths. I've no doubt it feels amazing to get out of one. But for me it's Feb equivalent to wearing a pair of trainers 3 sizes too small so that it feels amazing when you take them off 😁 Quote

gonzo Posted 12 hours ago Author Posted 12 hours ago Re ice-baths. They are absolute bollocks unless you're running an ultra marathon then one the day after. You feel great after because the body has released a load of shit that's to stop you fucking dying. Quote
