Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main goal of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cryo-sauna in preventing the development of DOMS in the lower extremity. The second goal is to analyze the rate of regenerative changes in the right muscles after acute fatigue-induced exercises.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main goal of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cryo-sauna in preventing the development of DOMS in the lower extremity. The second goal is to analyze the rate of regenerative changes in the right muscles after acute fatigue-induced exercises.

This study design was a randomized, controlled single-blind trial with repeated measures. Moreover, the design was prepared according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) for pragmatic trials. Participants were assigned into two groups: (1) experimental group (CRYO, n =16) - cryostimulation using a cryo sauna; and (2) control group (CONT, n = 15) - without any intervention. This study was conducted in the Physical Exercise Laboratory. Both groups, CRYO and CON performed a fatigue-induced protocol consisting of counter-movement jumps (CMJ) (10 set for 10 repetitions). After the fatigue exercises, only CRYO underwent cryo sauna intervention including entry immediately after, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-exercise. The order of measurements at baseline included: blood sample testing (creatine kinase, myoglobin, leukocytes) and muscle stiffness of the lower extremity. All measurements we collected at baseline, immediately post, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours post-exercise.

Investigators Outcome Assessors
Participants will be allocated to intervention (cryostimulation using cryosauna) or a control group (without any intervention) using a randomized list of allocated numbers generated by a computer program. The investigator and Outcomes Assessor will be blinded to the allocation process.
