Cold water immersion immediately after endurance exercise appears to improve endurance performance by increasing mitochondrial biogenesis and reducing inflammation.

“and it's also the cold exposure has also been shown to improve and very you know preliminary studies to improve endurance uh in some athletes including Runners and uh cyclists and tennis players so there's this you know the ongoing study looking at how cold exposure may actually enhance endurance uh performance because of this mitoch biogenesis among other things it also reduces inflammation and helps with recovery time”

“doing cold water immersion for example um immediately after endurance exercise appears to improve the endurance exercise and and that's partly because one mitochondrial biogenesis is immediately occurring in muscle tissue so you're improving aerobic capacity so if you're if you're doing that and then you immediately engage endurance exercise again you know Studies have shown there's some endurance enhancement um also it reduces inflammation and so when you're doing endurance type of training that also can help if you reduce your inflammation that can improve your performance as well”

“there's actually been several studies that have shown elite tennis players, uh, rowers. Let's see what else. There have been a variety of different endurance runners that in between their their sort of sets that they're doing, if they engage in deliberate cold exposure, they actually improve their running time or their reaction time, whatever, you know, metrics being measured.”
