Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of cold water intermittent ion (CWI), carbohydrate and protein supplementation (SUPPL), and active recovery (ACT) on creatine kinase (CK), perceptual and performance markers of recovery in elite basketball players after a specific fatigue protocol.

Fifteen elite basketball players participated in this crossover controlled trial. All participants were randomly measured in 4 conditions of the recovery method 1 week apart after a fatigue exercise protocol (\~ 45 'of high intensity intermittent effort with specific basketball movements). The recovery methods consist of CWI at 10oC in periods of 2 minutes submerged and 2 minutes out of the water, supplementation with 0.3gr / kg of maltodextrin and 0.2gr / kg of neutral whey protein in 0.5 liters of water, pedaling ACT for 25 minutes at 50% of maximum heart rate or a placebo drink (PLA). The Visual Analogue Fatigue Scale (VAS), Perceived Exercise Rate (RPE), CK and physical performance (jumping, speed, isometric and dynamic tests of resistance to squats) were measured before, after and 24 hours after of the protocol. The VAS scale and RPE were also measured immediately after application of the recovery method. Repeated 2-way post-hoc comparisons of ANOVA and Bonferroni measures were applied, with a significance set at P \<0.05.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

A crossover design was used to examine the effects of four different recovery interventions on muscle damage and fatigue and physical performance after a maximal exercise test in elite male basketball players. Thus each athlete performed all the recovery methods that were included in the study, one week apart; including CWI, carbohydrate-protein supplementation, active recovery, and placebo-control condition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cold-water immersion

Subjects were immersed, in a sitting position where legs were always covered, in cold water at 11ºC in periods of 2 minutes submerged and 2 minutes out of the water at room temperature (25ºC), repeating this process 5 times.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cold-water immersion

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Subjects were immersed, in a sitting position where legs were always covered, in cold water at 11ºC in periods of 2 minutes submerged and 2 minutes out of the water at room temperature (25ºC), repeating this process 5 times

Protein-carbohydrates supplementation

Subjects consumed a mixed carbohydrate and protein beverage, composed of 0.3gr/kg of maltodextrin and 0.2gr/kg of neutral whey protein in 0.5 litres of water.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Protein-carbohydrates supplementation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Subjects consumed a mixed carbohydrate and protein beverage, composed of 0.3gr/kg of maltodextrin and 0.2gr/kg of neutral whey protein in 0.5 litres of water. Subject sat for 25 minutes until all recovery methods were completed.

Active recovery

Subjects was carried out using a bicycle ergometer. The subjects pedaled for 25 minutes at 50% of the maximum heart rate (HRmax).
