Abstract :The purpose of this study is to compare two cold water immersion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CWI); protocols, continuous and fractionated, to optimize the recovery of Handball players after on recovery from exercise resulting in exercise-induced muscle damage. Ten male Handball players insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(age: 15 ± 1.4 years, mass index: 67.2 ± 5.1 kg, height: 176.6 ± 7.30); voluntarily participated in the study. After three 90-minute training sessions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(heart rate 160 ± 15.81, 156 ± 5.53 and 156 ± 12.24 bpm); per week, participants were divided into 03 groups. The first experimental group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GE1); in continuous immersion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CWIC); of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12 minutes, 12± 0.4 ° C);, a second experimental group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GE2); in fractional immersion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CWIF); of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4 x 2 min at 12 ± 0.4 ° C + 1 min out of water); and a control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GC); in passive recovery. Body mass indices insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BMI);, countermovement jump and muscle pain were measured. The results concerning the percentage differences in the variation of the CMJ occurred respectively at 24h insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Z = 12.62, p = 0.004); and 48h insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Z = 16.22, p <0.001); compared to the control group. In addition, the results for muscle volume did not report any significant interaction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(F insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.64); = 3.42, p = 0.078);. The results of both protocols showed their effectiveness in reducing pain intensity by 24 and 48 hours after intense training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(F insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.54); = 2.91, p = 0.016, p2 = 0.24);. In conclusion, continuous and fractionated cold water immersion is beneficial for neuromuscular recovery 24 hours after intense exercise. The results also demonstrate a rapid recovery of handball players from their physical potential required in high level competitions.
