Cold-water immersion is more likely to positively influence muscular power performance, but not muscular strength performance.

Cold-water immersion is more likely to positively influence muscular power performance, muscle soreness, serum creatine kinase, and perceived recovery after high-intensity exercise when compared with passive recovery.

Dose–response relationships indicate that lower temperature cold-water immersion may be more effective after high-intensity exercise for removal of serum creatine kinase.

Dose–response relationships indicate shorter duration cold-water immersion may be more effective after high-intensity exercise for endurance performance and removal of serum creatine kinase.
