Recovery Revolution: Hot & Cold Therapy Trends

Hot and cold therapy has stormed into the spotlight as a recovery ritual for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and wellness seekers in 2025. This “Recovery Revolution” isn’t just an Instagram fad—it’s scientifically backed and powered by innovation, personalization, and accessibility. Let’s explore how hot, cold, and contrast therapies are reshaping how we bounce back, perform, and thrive post-training. The Rise of Cold Therapy: Cold Plunges, Cryotherapy & Beyond Cold plunging isn’t just for the hardcore athlete anymore; it’s mainstream. In 2025, at-home cold plunge systems and facial cold immersion kits are making cold therapy accessible to virtually everyone. Cold water immersion (typically 39–55°F for several minutes) has been shown to: Reduce muscle soreness Boost mood and focus Improve circulation and sleep quality Accelerate recovery post-exercise Activate the parasympathetic nervous system for relaxation[1][2] Facial ice baths are surging for their ability to decrease puffiness, promote healthy skin, and relieve facial tension. For athletes, cold immersion also helps lower inflammation—an essential factor for effective recovery and injury reduction.[2] Hot Therapy: Still a Clinician’s Favorite for Muscle Relief Heat remains a trusted tool in the recovery toolbox. Research demonstrates that hot packs are especially effective at relieving pain from delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) within the first 24–48 hours after exercise. In fact, hot pack therapy has shown more stable results for pain reduction compared to other modalities, making it a top pick for clinical application post-exercise.[3][4] Hot packs excel at reducing muscle pain both immediately and several hours after exercise Heat boosts blood flow, relaxation, and tissue elasticity Contrast Therapy: The Goldilocks Solution for Athletic Recovery Contrast therapy alternates between hot and cold treatments, such as switching between hot and cold baths or specialized contrast devices. This technique [...]

Nutrition and Hydration Hacks for Peak Performance

Achieving peak athletic performance isn’t just about training hard—what you eat and drink plays a crucial role in powering your body and optimizing recovery. Recent meta-analyses and systematic reviews provide a strong evidence base for practical strategies that athletes and fitness enthusiasts can use. 1. The Power of Protein—Especially With Carbohydrates A comprehensive meta-analysis of 28 randomized controlled trials explored whether increased protein intake boosts athletic performance. While overall protein supplementation did not show a statistically significant benefit for athletic performance as a whole, subgroup analysis paints a clearer picture: combining protein with carbohydrates notably improved endurance performance and muscle glycogen levels. This means that while simply upping your protein alone may not move the needle, pairing it strategically with carbs—especially pre- or post-workout—can help fuel endurance and speed recovery. Athletic Lab trusts Thorne for all our supplementation needs. Hack: For endurance athletes, consume a combination of protein and carbohydrates after workouts (e.g., a recovery shake with both whey protein and oats). 2. Dietary Supplements: Carbs, Electrolytes, and Caffeine A recent network meta-analysis involving 1,425 athletes compared the effects of 31 different dietary supplements. Results highlighted that carbohydrate + protein and carbohydrate + electrolyte drinks were associated with very large improvements in distance covered and reduced perceived exertion during exercise. Caffeine, creatine, and melatonin also provided targeted benefits, such as increased jump height, reduced sprint times, and improved agility. Hack: For high-intensity or competitive sports, a sports drink containing both carbs and electrolytes, possibly with caffeine, can delay fatigue and enhance performance. 3. Hydration—The Underrated Performance Booster Even mild dehydration can have a significant physiological impact. A systematic review and meta-analysis confirmed that dehydration impairs muscle strength by around 5.5% and anaerobic power by nearly [...]

Recovery Redefined: What Actually Works & Why by Jannis Oberbeil

[This is a guest post by Jannis Oberbeil. Jannis is an experienced coach from Germany currently taking part in the Athletic Lab Coaching Mentorship Program.] In recent years, the fitness and sports world has seen a boom in recovery strategies: Influencers plunge into freezing tubs. Wellness blogs swear by compression and foam rolling. And fitness apps buzz about heart rate variability and active recovery protocols. But with so many options available, it raises the question: Which recovery method actually works best? And are some methods more hype than help? In this article, we'll explore and compare some of the most popular recovery techniques, break down the science behind them, and help you decide which ones are worth integrating into your routine—based on evidence, practicality, and your specific training goals. Recovery in General Recovery Definition The term recovery is derived from the Latin word regeneratio, meaning "regeneration" or "renewal." In a medical context, it refers to the functional and structural restoration of damaged tissues or organs through the formation of new cells. This regenerative process can be either complete or partial, depending on the extent of the damage and the effectiveness of the recovery strategy applied (Antwerpes, 2022). In the realm of exercise and athletic performance, recovery is understood as the physiological and psychological response to fatigue. Fatigue itself can be defined as a reversible decline in performance capacity, which may affect both physical and mental domains. Generally, two forms of fatigue are distinguished: Acute Fatigue Acute fatigue arises immediately following intense physical activity. It typically lasts between one and three days and is considered a normal part of the training process. With appropriate recovery measures, the body usually returns to baseline—or even above it—relatively quickly [...]

Why You Should Be Doing Self Myofascial Release by Robert Schurtman

[This is a guest blog from Robert Schurtman. Robert is currently an intern taking part in the Athletic Lab Coaching Mentorship program. He is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer who has a background in Ultimate Frisbee.] Myofascial release is a modality that has been around for many years. One variant of it that has gained popularity is self-myofascial release. It has become a popular modality that provides many benefits to athletes and gym goers alike. It’s used in a multitude of sports for different applications, whether that be part of a warm up or cool down. Self-myofascial release, or SMR, is a massage technique that can be done to oneself using a massaging implement such as a lacrosse ball or a foam roller and a person’s own body weight. A person applies pressure to their muscles with their own weight on the massaging tool to relieve tension. While there is still a lot of discourse involving SMR, specifically about the appropriate prescription for it, the benefits of SMR speak for themselves. Along with the more commonly known benefits of increased range of motion (ROM) / flexibility and enhancing recovery, SMR provides even lesser-known benefits as further explained in this post. How does it work? Before we get into the benefits, let’s first understand how exactly SMR works. To start, we need some background information about the muscles in the body. Each muscle has two mechanoreceptors that help with contraction and extension of the muscle: the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) and the muscle spindle. The GTO senses changes in tension of the muscle and the muscle spindle senses changes in length. Together, they work to protect the muscle from tearing and over stretching. The basis of SMR is [...]

The Science Behind Dynamic Air Compression for Athletic Recovery

Dynamic Air Compression can help with recovery and injury prevention. Athletes are constantly pushing their bodies to the limit, subjecting themselves to intense training sessions and competitions. To maintain peak performance and prevent injury, recovery is crucial. One emerging technology that has gained popularity in recent years is dynamic air compression. In this blog post, we will explore the science behind dynamic air compression for athletic recovery and discuss the evidence from peer-reviewed research. Athletic Lab offers Dynamic Air Compression along with several other recovery methods in our Recovery Suite. If you are interested in accessing the recovery suite please contact us. Understanding Dynamic Air Compression Dynamic air compression, also known as pneumatic compression therapy, involves the use of inflatable sleeves or boots that are placed around the limbs, typically the legs or arms. These sleeves are connected to a device that inflates and deflates them rhythmically, creating a pulsating compression on the targeted area. The goal is to improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and speed up the recovery process in athletes. The Mechanism of Action Pneumatic compression therapy works through several mechanisms: Enhanced Blood Flow: Research has shown that the rhythmic compression and release of the sleeves stimulate blood flow in the treated area. This increased circulation helps remove metabolic waste products, such as lactic acid, which can accumulate during intense exercise and cause muscle fatigue and soreness. Reduced Inflammation: Compression therapy has been found to reduce inflammation by promoting the movement of lymphatic fluid, which carries away cellular debris and inflammatory substances from the tissues. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes recovering from injuries. Muscle Recovery: Dynamic air compression can aid in muscle recovery by reducing muscle stiffness and promoting the delivery [...]

Peristaltic Pulse Dynamic Compression by Liam Sutton

[This is a guest blog by Liam Sutton. Liam is a senior at Ball State University working towards his bachelor’s degree in exercise science with a concentration in basic and applied sciences. He hopes to attend Australian National University’s Master of Neuroscience program after graduation. He is currently participating in the Athletic Lab Internship Program.] Athletes have always looked for advantages in training and competition to obtain an edge over their competition. The scientific and performance coaching communities have ongoing collaboration in enhancing athlete performance; methods include using optimized training schedules, better nutrition, higher quality sleep, and emerging forms of therapy. The goals of these collaborations are to enhance performance of athletes by reducing fatigue and soreness as well as enhance and accelerate sport specific training adaptations. Elite athletes undergo rigorous training that leads to muscle microtrauma and inflammation, manifesting itself in pain, discomfort, and short-term performance decreases. Reducing, counteracting, and recovering from these body traumas is the primary goal of many emerging therapies aimed at athletes. The sport world is rapidly embracing therapeutic arts and sciences to obtain the benefits of recovery methods designed to combat the entire spectrum of fatigue related performance impairments. This is evidenced by national Olympic, business, and other organizational entities building expensive facilities designed around the research and implementation of recovery modalities and methods to enhance recovery and adaptation. One method that has received recent attention is muscle and limb compression. There are two types of compression therapy. Static compression uses specific garments designed to compress the limbs and torso, while dynamic compression involves manual compression such as a massage and mechanical compression using special devices such as sleeves that envelop limbs and inflate consecutively in compartmentalized cells. This [...]

Breathing Techniques and Benefits for Athletes by Subash Mathi

[This is a guest post from Subash Mathi. Subash is a Level-1 Badminton coach and holds a certification with the National Institute of Sports in India. He is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Sports Biomechanics and Kinesiology and participating in Athletic Lab internship program.] The manner in which you breathe has a lot to do with your athletic performance as well as your quality of life. Breathing powerfully affects every system in your body: cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, lymph, immune, digestive, and of course, respiratory. Breathing properly can decrease stress and muscle tension, calm your nerves, sharpen your focus, minimize negative and distracting thoughts, reduce fatigue, and promote stamina. Unfortunately, proper breathing is often an overlooked component of athletic training.Evidence indicates that adopting a regular, long-term schedule of breathing practice could help improve the body’s ability to manage stress. Researchers have shown how performance anxiety can be split into separate components. The first is a mental, cognitive, component, represented by worry such as, “I am worried that I may not perform as well as I can.” The second component of performance anxiety is self-focused attention represented by: “I am conscious of every movement I make”, and a physiological anxiety component, represented by arousal (fast heart rate) and tension (feeling on edge). The ability to respond positively to anxiety reflects the level of control the athlete feels they have over a given situation, and their own response, “I believe I have the resources to meet this challenge”. This perception of control is important, because it reflects whether athletes see the situation as a threat or a challenge. This might ultimately change the way the athlete performs. The most obvious benefit is the immediate effect upon the [...]

Red Light Therapy: What it is and Uses for Athletes by Liam Sutton

[This is a guest blog by Liam Sutton. Liam is a senior at Ball State University working towards his bachelor’s degree in exercise science with a concentration in basic and applied sciences. He hopes to attend Australian National University’s Master of Neuroscience program after graduation. He is currently participating in the Athletic Lab Internship Program.] "The Armoury" from Red Light Rising in the Athletic Lab Recovery room. In the Athletic Lab recovery room, athletes have access to a red light therapy apparatus. This blog post is intended to educate Athletic Lab athletes on what red light therapy is, why an athlete would use it, and how to utilize it for optimal results.  What is Red Light Therapy?  Red light therapy is a form of light therapy that uses red and/or near infrared light to stimulate cellular energy production. While we can see red light, infrared light is outside the visible spectrum, meaning our eyes cannot pick it up. Our inability to see it does not lessen its effects; however, as both red and infrared light have been shown to have a variety of positive effects on the human body which can be harnessed to improve athletic performance and recovery. Research has shown improvements in sleep and many aspects of sport performance. Some literature suggests faster recovery from training. This article will address each of these elements, as well as look into what we think is the primary underlying mechanism of red light therapy so athletes who are interested will have a better understanding of what is happening at the cellular level. We will begin by going over how red light therapy can influence a state we spend about a third of our lives [...]

Post-Exercise Recovery by Elizabeth Criner

[Elizabeth Criner is a senior at NC State, currently working towards her bachelor's degree in sport management while also minoring in business administration, business entrepreneurship, and psychology. She is currently participating in the Athletic Lab Internship Program.] The actual process of exercising might seem like the most important part of working out, but what comes after a workout can be vital in keeping you healthy. When working out, your body is put through the ringer. Muscles form tiny tears, fluids are lost, heart rate rises, and many other things happen to your body all at once. All of these issues must be repaired and restored back to normal, before your next workout. One must replace fluids and fuels lost during exercise, make sure body temperature and regular cardiovascular functions return back to normal, and repair damaged tissue (Peake, 2019). One must ensure all of these return to normal before the next training session or competition. If not, you will increase your risk of injury, by not giving your body time to heal. Intense exercise can disrupt the nervous systems, cardiovascular, renal, endocrine, and immune systems. The main goal of recovery is to restore homeostasis, replace fuels and fluids lost, repair tissue, and heal through rest. There are many different ways athletes can choose to achieve these recovery goals. Some examples include: rehydration, carbohydrate and protein feeding, stretching, massage, sleep, and much more (Peake, 2019). If athletes train too intensely and do not give themselves enough time to recover, then they can experience overreaching. In the journal article, “Recovery after exercise: what is the current state of play?” by Jonathan Peake, overreaching is defined as, “the buildup of training and/or training stress leading to temporary impairment [...]

Sleep Like You Mean It (Part 2) by Austin Both

[Austin Both is the Associate Performance Director of Athletic Lab] In last week's installment, we discussed the effects of cognition and physical capacity as a result of sleep deprivation. Perhaps, even more important than these aforementioned factors, is sleep's ability to keep us alive (quite literally). While there is not a single unanimous explanation as to why sleep is required for life, after tireless research, we do have a greater understanding of the physiological functions that make it so important (Harvard.edu). One such mechanism that affects cognition, mood, as well as our physical state, is the tendency for sleep deprivation to cause an increase in cortisol levels (INSEP, Hausswirth, Mujika, p.102). While natural fluctuations of cortisol are a natural and healthy response to stress, physical or otherwise, chronically elevated levels of cortisol can cause a host of negative effects. Sleep deprivation's effect on cortisol levels is likely less than clinical cases. However, it can still cause high blood pressure, weakness, as well as sub-optimal metabolism of carbohydrates leading to weight gain (Saladin, p. 673). Coupling with increased cortisol levels, disruption of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) can create even more issues in terms of energy and mood. The ANS often goes under the radar because we have no volitional control over its constituents; however, its control reaches numerous systems, including the endocrine system and cardiac muscle (Saladin, p.572). Lack of sleep can cause chronic hyperactivity of the sympathetic division of the ANS (INSEP, Hausswirth, Mujika, p.102), which is a state associated with excitation. As a result, this state will trigger consistently elevated heart rate and respiration (Saladin, p. 443.) This results in a dangerous duo with the aforementioned increased cortisol levels. This elevated sympathetic activity [...]

Most coaches stop sets based on how athletes look, rather than how they are actually moving. VBT allows you to set a simple cutoff by monitoring bar speed. A bar speed drop of more than 20% from the first rep is an indicator that no matter how the athlete looks or what percentage of 1RM they are supposed to be moving, that they are fatigued beyond the necessary output they need to reach the target stimulus. We shut down the set so that we don’t keep the athlete accumulating a bunch of junk reps.

Top 5 Reasons to use VBT with your athletes: Reason #3: Objective load & zone prescription. Research over the years has mapped clear velocity zones for different strength qualities. Accelerative strength, strength speed, speed strength, and starting strength all live in different velocity zones. While percentage based training can target these qualities by prescribing an “ideal” load that can allow for different velocities, verifying the quality of the reps becomes a coaches visual interpretation and is subjective. Using VBT gives a clear picture of the athletes bar speed and verifies the quality of the bar speed and whether or not the target is hit on every rep.

We know there are weight room activities - squats, cleans, plyos, etc that contribute to speed development but we also know that these activities don’t come close enough to the intensity of forces and contraction speeds seen during a max velocity sprint. Therefore the best way to become faster is…..to sprint.

To reach a proper stimulus, sprinting must be done at 95%+ of the athletes max velocity. Do not confuse this with EFFORT. An athlete can be at an RPE of 10 yet not sprinting at 95%+ of their max velocity. So even if an athlete is running fast, even running as fast as they can, it doesn’t mean they are sprinting.
