Brief Summary

Football is a sport with congested calendars, which requires muscle recovery strategies such as cold water immersion (CWI). This recovery technique is well spread through football clubs, although it lacks a profound physiologic investigation to understand its effects on athlete's body. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a long-term CWI exposure in football athlete's. Study Hypothesis: H0: The application of Cold water immersion doesn't amend the biomarkers, electromyograph signal, power and perceived of recover when compared with control sample. H1: The application of Cold water immersion amends the biomarkers, electromyograph signal, power and perceived of recover when compared with control sample.
