The importance of post-exercise recovery cannot be overstated. If you can recover faster, you can train harder again sooner. And over time, this means getting bigger fitness gains, and with less chance of illness or injury. In recent years, sports nutritionists have come to understand that as well as carbohydrate and fluid, post-exercise protein is... MORE
Ice baths and cold water immersion have become popular tools to speed up recovery. But as Richard Lovett explains, new research suggests that this approach could harm rather than help your long-term performance… MORE

Ice baths might be great for recovery, but new research suggests they might not be so good for promoting training adaptation. Rick Lovett explains why and provides guidelines on how and when to use ice baths MORE
Cryotherapy uses extreme cold in order to accelerate recovery. But is this relatively expensive and exotic recovery strategy any better than sitting in a bath of cold water? Alicia Filley looks and the science and provides athletes with answers and recommendations! MORE
