Brief Summary
Para-athletes are submitted and intense efforts in training and competitions that often overlap in days and weeks. In this sense, and in the search for better brands and indexes, it is necessary to use recovery methods that allow less late muscle pain and better physical performance. Recovery methods are widely used in athletes of various modalities, however there are no studies that point out their effects on para-athletes. This highlights the need for studies on this topic. Paragliding athletes, who train at the Londrina Yacht Club, Londrina Canoeing and Rowing School, who present paraplegia after spinal cord injury, with motor level T10 or lower, without any problem of thermoregulation will participate in the study. All were male and female, with no complaints of musculoskeletal pain or history of upper limb muscle injuries in the last six months and with the same demand for training and competitions. Initially an evaluation will be performed where 1RM, VO2 max, pain, spasticity, body temperature, heart rate variability and electromyographic signal of the involved muscles will be tested. After three days they will be induced to fatigue through a protocol in the traction exercise and immediately directed to one of the 3 intervention groups: ice pack, immersion in cold water or rest. The same baseline evaluations will be repeated after 24, 48 and 72 hours. It is expected that the group submitted to immersion in cold water presents better parameters for pain and sports performance.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
evolution of muscular pain
late muscle pain will be assessed at various times to detect changes caused by fatigue will be analyzed through the threshold of pressure pain, in view of the induction of pain caused to the study, the pain will be monitored at various times
pre, immediately after, after 24, 48 and 72 hours
Secondary Outcomes (4)
oxygen consumption
pre, immediately after, after 24, 48 and 72 hours
spasticity
pre, immediately after, after 24, 48 and 72 hours
muscle recruitment
pre, immediately after, after 24, 48 and 72 hours
heart rate variability
pre, immediately after, after 24, 48 and 72 hours
Study Arms (3)
Immersion in cold water
EXPERIMENTALThe athlete will remain submerged in a "Cryo Control - Ice Bath Systems®" bathtub, which allows filtration and maintenance of constant water temperature, and shoulder blade water (Getto and Golden, 2013) for 15 minutes in the 15 degrees Celsius (Machado et al, 2016).
Ice pack
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe athlete will remain for 20 minutes with plastic packets of 500 grams of ice each, in the region of the evaluated muscles.
Control
SHAM COMPARATORGroup in which the athlete will be instructed to remain seated in a comfortable position, at rest, for 20 minutes.
