Exploring the Efficacy of applying a Safe Cryotherapy Alternative for a Prolonged Period of TIme

What is it about?

Comparing the difference in skin, muscle, and core temperature changes between the popular cryotherapy modality, cold water immersion (CWI), and a novel cryotherapy modality, phase change material (PCM).

Why is it important?

It is possible that the inability of prolonging the treatment duration is preventing athletes from experiencing beneficial recovery effects. PCM can safely be applied for prolonged duration.
