it terms of soreness, nothing beats 5-10 minutes in an ice bath


Yes this is true.

When I worked on staff at Texas State the football players would sit in huge kiddie pools of ice water right after practice. Always came back fresh the 2nd practice or next day.

My post work out or post basketball routine when I have time is wet sauna for 10 minutes, hot tub for 3 minutes, cold dip for 3 minutes, hot tub for 3 minutes, and end with cold dip for 5 minutes. Helps so much with soreness

I loved how it felt the next day, but the process seemed like cruel and unusual punishment. and you would think it'd be awesome outside in Arlington in August, but it just made it worse

This actually does temporarily increase your metabolism...just because your body is trying not to freeze to death.

One reason in really cold climate the average caloric intake is much higher...more energy required to maintain body temps.

Remember reading something in anthropologic archaeology about the Vikings in greenland, they worked their asses off and the climate was cooling...as a result the average caloric intake for a male farmer towards the end of the colony was something like 10k calories a day just to maintain.
