One of the great benefits to cold exposure is its’ powerful impact on improving physical performance and capacity by:
- Accelerating recovery from training by bringing your body temperature and heart rate down more quickly;
- Increasing circulation of oxygen rich blood through any damaged or inflamed muscles, tendons and / or ligaments (particularly when cold is paired with a heat stimulus ie hot pool or sauna);
- Improving your body’s ability to tolerate extreme temperatures, ensuring you can safely, effectively and comfortably train and perform in all seasons and environmental factors;
- Improving immunity by supporting the production of white blood cells, ensuring you spend less time away from training due to sickness or fatigue; and
- Increasing human growth hormone, critical for optimal physical performance and recovery.
