“…Using the NIRS technique, a significant reduction of total hemoglobin level and a tendency for lower muscle oxygenation were observed in resting human ankle dorsiflexor muscles cooled from the skin surface 63) . Hom et al 62) also reported a decrease in resting muscle oxygen saturation and total hemoglobin levels after 1-hour cooling with an ice bag.…”

“…It was suggested that developing techniques of measuring local oxygen uptake was essential in order to study human muscle metabolism over a large range of Tm 60) . Recently, several studies directly measured the temperature dependence of muscle metabolism using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) [61][62][63] . It was reported that oxygen consumption of human forearm at rest and during 4% MVC isometric handgrip (by measuring the slope of deoxyhemoglobin change during 20-sec arterial occlusion) decreased as a function of reduction in Tm from 36 to 26°C 61) .…”

This review focuses on the suppression of physical performance in a cold environment and the underlying physiological mechanisms. There are many situations where humans have to perform physical activities in a cold environment. Cold environments often limit exercise and working performance by impairing functions such as force production, velocity, power and manual dexterity. A muscle temperature of around 27°C is assumed to be a critical temperature below which maximal voluntary isometric force starts to decrease. The endurance time of submaximal isometric contractions peak at muscle temperatures of 27 to 28°C and decrease rapidly above and below these temperatures. Dynamic exercise performance, especially fast velocity movement, is generally more disturbed by cooling than isometric contractions. Additionally, the effect of cold adaptation on exercise performance, and the potential related mechanisms are summarized here based on a limited number of studies. Since the involuntary muscle contraction of shivering disturbs fine motor control, habituation of shivering, which is an example of cold adaptation, potentially improves exercise performance. Higher hand skin temperatures, induced by greater cold induced vasodilatation after local cold adaptation, could improve manual dexterity. Since there have been few studies testing the effect of cold adaptation on exercise performance in a cold environment, further studies seem warranted.

“…Following exercise, stressed muscle fibres may have an increased energy demand as they restore ion gradients, repair structural damage and replace energy stores [56]. Thus, reducing muscle energy demand by cooling may reduce the metabolic stress experienced by a muscle fibre by minimizing the disparity between O 2 supply and demand.…”

Cold-water immersion and other forms of cryotherapy: physiological changes potentially affecting recovery from high-intensity exercise

2013

High-intensity exercise is associated with mechanical and/or metabolic stresses that lead to reduced performance capacity of skeletal muscle, soreness and inflammation. Cold-water immersion and other forms of cryotherapy are commonly used following a high-intensity bout of exercise to speed recovery. Cryotherapy in its various forms has been used in this capacity for a number of years; however, the mechanisms underlying its recovery effects post-exercise remain elusive. The fundamental change induced by cold therapy is a reduction in tissue temperature, which subsequently exerts local effects on blood flow, cell swelling and metabolism and neural conductance velocity. Systemically, cold therapy causes core temperature reduction and cardiovascular and endocrine changes. A major hindrance to defining guidelines for best practice for the use of the various forms of cryotherapy is an incongruity between mechanistic studies investigating these physiological changes induced by cold and applied studies investigating the functional effects of cold for recovery from high-intensity exercise. When possible, studies investigating the functional recovery effects of cold therapy for recovery from exercise should concomitantly measure intramuscular temperature and relevant temperature-dependent physiological changes induced by this type of recovery strategy. This review will discuss the acute physiological changes induced by various cryotherapy modalities that may affect recovery in the hours to days (<5 days) that follow high-intensity exercise.

“…By having the CS covering the anterior compartment, where the measurements were performed, an increase in skin temperature can be expected, compared to when using ankle-high socks. The effect of increased skin temperature on muscle oxygen levels has been investigated by Hom et al [30]. They found a lower decrease of Oxygen saturation (StO 2 ) during exercise with an increased skin temperature.…”

Background Exercise compression garments have increased in popularity among athletes at all levels during the last 10 years. However, the scientific grounds for this are unclear. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of wearing exercise compression stockings (CS) on the anterior compartment pressure, oxygenation of the tibialis anterior muscle, and early blood biomarkers change for muscle damage during a 10-km treadmill run in healthy subjects. Methods Twenty healthy subjects completed two identical treadmill runs, with or without CS. The subjects were randomized regarding the order in which the sessions were performed. Intramuscular pressure (IMP) and muscle oxygenation in the one leg were continuously measured before, during, and after running sessions. Blood samples were collected just before and directly after these sessions and analyzed for myoglobin and creatine kinase concentrations. Results The use of CS during running resulted in significantly higher IMP (by 22 ± 3.1 mmHg on average) and lower tissue oxygenation index (by 11 ± 1.8%) compared to running without CS ( p < 0.001). In addition, the Δ change in median serum myoglobin concentration measured before and after running was significantly higher when CS were used: 58 (9‒210) µg/L as compared to 38 (0‒196) µg/L with no CS ( p = 0.04). No difference in post-running early serum creatine kinase concentration was observed between using CS and not using CS. Conclusion Wearing exercise CS during and following a 10-km treadmill run elevated IMP and reduced muscle tissue oxygenation in the anterior compartment of healthy runners. Furthermore, the use of exercise CS did not prevent early exercise-induced muscle damage, as measured by serum biomarkers.
