Summary

The cold pack application, which is a special silicate gel impregnated with water in a soft rubber envelope, is frequently applied in the clinic. It has been shown in the literature that local cold application causes increased resistance to movement. It is also reported that the muscle can change its mechanical properties in a short time. However, the effect of the cooling package application applied in different periods on the mechanical properties of the muscle is unknown. Therefore, in the current study proposal, the investigators aim to investigate the acute effect (0 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min and 30 min) of cold pack therapy applied on healthy individuals for different periods (10-12-15-20 minutes).
