Cryotherapy reinvented: application of phase change material for recovery in elite soccer
Clifford, Tom; Howatson, Glyn; Abbott, Will; Kwiecien, Susan Y.; McHugh, Malachy P. (Human kinetics, 2018)Purpose: To examine whether donning lower-body garments fitted with cooled phase change material (PCM) would enhance recovery after a soccer match. Methods: In a randomized, crossover design, 11 elite soccer players from ... -
Exploring the efficacy of a safe cryotherapy alternative: physiological temperature changes from cold-water immersion versus prolonged cooling of phase-change material
Kwiecien, Susan Y.; Howatson, Glyn; McHugh, Malachy P.; Goodall, Stuart; Hicks, Kirsty M. (Human Kinetics, 2019)Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness between cold-water immersion (CWI) and phase-change-material (PCM) cooling on intramuscular, core, and skin-temperature and cardiovascular responses. Methods: In a randomized, crossover ...
