The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of multiple cold-water immersions (CWIs) on muscle function, markers of muscle damage, systemic inflammation and ECM degradation following exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Thirty physically active males were randomly assigned to either a control (n = 15) or cold-water immersion (CWI) group (n = 15). The CWI group performed one immersion (10 °C for 20 min) at post-exercise and every 24 h for the following 72 h, while the control group remained in a seated position during these corresponding periods.

- This study examined how multiple cryotherapy treatments affect oxidative stress markers following muscle injury in rats.
- After applying ice therapy three times a day for three days post-injury, cryotherapy significantly reduced levels of harmful oxidative stress markers compared to untreated rats.
- The results indicate that cryotherapy can effectively lower the production of reactive oxygen species and help maintain antioxidant levels, highlighting its potential benefits for muscle recovery.
Background: Different ultrasound parameters have been frequently used to assess changes associated with training, aging, immobilization, and neuromuscular diseases. However, an exploratory reliability analysis of the echo intensity (EI) and muscle thickness (MT) of the forearm flexors is scarce, especially in women.
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine the intra-rater reliability of MT and EI assessed by ultrasound in young women.
