Conditions

Quality of Life

Keywords

whole-body cryotherapy; healthy men; blood components

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• blood collection in a group of participants with high and moderate physical activity

  Determination of blood components

  up to 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• blood collection in both groups tested

  for 3 months

Other Outcomes (1)

• Research in both groups

  through study completion, an average of 1 month

Study Arms (2)

a group of ten students with high physical activity

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants of the study were subjected to 24 whole-body cryotherapy treatments (one treatment three times a week for two months). Before the procedure, they were informed about how to move and breathe in the cryochamber. Each entrance to the cryochamber was preceded by a 30-second adaptation period in the vestibule at a temperature of -60 ºC. Then the subjects entered the cryochamber for three minutes. Blood was collected from each participant (with an empty stomach) at a laboratory located at the Academy of Physical Education in Krakow, where after a ten-minute rest in a sitting position at room temperature (about 19 °C), blood was collected from the vein in the crook of the elbow by a laboratory diagnostician in accordance with applicable standards. Blood was collected 13 times.

Other: whole body cryostimulation

a group of eight students with moderate physical activity
