Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Then, performance recovery will be assessed during the following 72 hrs (in a 24 hrs interval).
At each time-point, following measurements will be conducted: vertical-jump performance, maximum voluntary isometric contraction of the m.quadriceps femoris muscle, muscle swelling and delayed-onset of muscle soreness.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Repeated cold-water immersion
In this arm, the participants undergo repeated cold water immersion at 10°C for 2 x 5 min. Between the immersion, a break will be conducted 2.5 min. Participants will be immersed up to the iliac crest

Repeated warm-water immersion
In this arm, the participants undergo repeated warm water immersion at 40°C for 2 x 5 min. Between the immersion, a break will be conducted 2.5 min. Participants will be immersed up to the iliac crestParticipants will be immersed up to the iliac crest.

Control
In this arm, the participants undergo the control intervention which comprises to remain seated for 12.5 min. The participants, that will perform the muscle damaging protocol under hypoxia will also be treated with the control condition.
