Summary

A randomized study was conducted during two training periods. The first stage of a 5-day cryostimulation procedure took place in November 2022, during the training period after the end of the league season. The second stage was conducted in January 2023, during the preparation period in full training loads. The sequence of procedures used in both stages was the same (fig. 1). Before the application of cryostimulation, both PBC and CON groups underwent measurements: anthropometric using Tanita BC-418 MA analyzer (Medizin \& Service GmbH, Germany), step frequency (tapping) and lower limb maximal power (jump with sweep, jump without sweep), Opto Gait optical system (MicroGate Timing and Sport, BONZAMO, Italy ). Athletes in the PBC group, at the same hours of 8: 00 (stage I) and 17:00 (stage II), were subjected daily to cryostimulation in a JUKA cryosauna (model 0104-1, Germany). Both PBC and CON groups participated in training together throughout the study period.

Conditions

  • Particularly Partial-body Cryostimulation

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Cryostimulation is a form of cooling the body using low temperatures without causing tissue damage. The stimulus effect is achieved at temperatures below - 110⁰C, in a short time of 1-3 minutes. The p

PBC protocol involved the participant being in a JUKA cryosauna (model 0104-1), for 3 minutes at - 140 ° C± - 20 ° C with the lid at shoulder height and the head over the chamber. The cryosauna was cooled with liquid nitrogen, and the temperature was monitored by a computer. Participants entered the cabin wearing clogs, wool socks, shorts, gloves, caps, and disposable PP non-woven masks to protect against inhalation of nitrogen fumes. The temperature inside the cryosauna was recorded at 30-second intervals using a sensor placed on the bottom of the cabin. The temperature of the room where the cryosauna was located was 21.0 ± 0.9° C, and the humidity of the air during the treatment was 35 ± 2, 0 % monitored with a QUIGG type LE 2014.14 moisture absorber.
