Summary

Different techniques of cryotherapy application present divergent responses. The objective was to establish differences between methods of application of ankle cryotherapy on skin surface temperature (TSP), agility and balance. The sample consisted of 20 healthy and active young men, 10 men and 10 women, with 21.4 (1.9) years. Initially, all performed the Modified Star Excursion Balance Test, Side Hop Test, and TSP collection of the lateral ankle region by digital thermography. After that, the application of the cryotherapy techniques - ice pack (PG), cold water immersion (LAI) and cryotherapy + compression by Game Ready® (CCGR), all for 20 minutes (') was randomized. The tests and TSP were reassessed in the immediate post-10'', 20'' and 30 'post. After three and six days, the other application forms were reassessed. Thus, the participants were randomly assigned to the three forms of cryotherapy.
