The Benefits of Cold Water Immersion
1:34:11 - 1:54:35 (20:24)
Studies have shown that cold water immersion, specifically ice baths or cold showers, after training sessions can reduce soreness and increase training efficacy without inhibiting progress or the stimulus that would lead to progress. Cold exposure is beneficial for high-intensity training but does not hinder strength and hypertrophy gains.

Cold exposure can cause fat cells to release norepinephrine which changes the way the cells metabolize energy and can even convert white fat cells to beige and brown fat cells in the long term, resulting in increased metabolism.

Cooling the glabrous skin surfaces of the body, such as the soles of the feet and upper portion of the face, can help cool down the body quickly and improve endurance and volume of strength training when done appropriately.

Summary
Cooling the glabrous skin surfaces of the body, such as the soles of the feet and upper portion of the face, can help cool down the body quickly and improve endurance and volume of strength training when done appropriately. The arteriovenous astemosis in these areas extract heat from the body and help dissipate heat.
