cold conditioning

Cold conditioning is a process of exposing the body to cold temperatures to promote recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Often used by athletes, it can involve methods like cold showers, ice baths, or cold therapy suits. The cold helps constrict blood vessels, which can decrease swelling and soreness, then as the body warms up, blood flow increases, aiding in the removal of metabolic waste and delivering nutrients needed for repair. Cold conditioning is a strategic tool to enhance physical recovery and resilience after intense activity or injury.
