Research Review: Cold Tubs and Muscle Adaptation

Cold tubs are a very common modality for recovery from a hard workout or competition. There are definitely several health benefits to getting in the cold water to help recovery but as with most things, timing and goals are very important. In this Research Review, Dr. Jagim breaks down an article that discusses how cold water immersion impacts anabolic signaling and what that means for you goals in training. Check it out.
