Introduction: Recovery after exercise is an important factor during the iterative training and competition. To maximize athletic performance and recovery activities must stress the proper balance be established. It is shown that immersion in cold water to speed up the utilization of lactate in the blood (1). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of recovery in cold water 15 degrees on blood lactate levels in the wrestling academy.
Methodology: For this purpose, 14 wrestler’s volunteers aged between 23/1 ± 2/74 and weighs 73/9 ± 7/2 participated in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to two groups of recovery in cold water, recovery was split off. The exercise protocol included an exhaustive exercise session was run on a treadmill. Blood lactate intervals before, immediately after training and after recovery for 2 minutes, was measured by Lactometer. For within group comparison analysis of variance with repeated measures for different phases of the comparisons between groups, ANOVA was performed using SPSS version 22.
Results: In both groups, blood lactate recovery after exercise in cold water (p=0.001) and non-active (p=0.001) increased significantly. Recovery in cold water (p=0.018) and passive recovery (p=0.033) leads to a reduction of serum lactate. The groups showed no significant differences between the two groups (p=0.01).
Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that compared with passive recovery, the recovery in cold water, further lowering of serum lactate values. Possibly accelerating the reduction of lactate recovery after muscle and vascular response in cold water by the hydrostatic pressure outside with cold water dive (1). It also increases the metabolic rate in cold water, possibly by accelerating the oxidation rate of lactate removal from the blood to help improve (1). The results of this research proposal Ferreira et al. (2011) and Greenwood et al. (2008) and Morton (2006) was consistent (1,2,3 ).
