The Effects of Cold Water Immersion on Metabolism
Immersing oneself in 20°C (68°F) water for an hour can cause a 93% increase in metabolic rate, while immersing oneself in 2°C (32°F) water for an hour can cause a 350% increase in metabolism. Immersion in 32°C (89°F) water did not lead to a significant increase in metabolism.
