Cold Plunge Ice-bath Alaska

Description

Cold Plunge Ice-bath Alaska

Alaska is a bathtub in which the body is cooled down with cold water – an increasingly popular and valued treatment after a physically demanding workout, sports effort or a visit to the sauna. Using heat pumps, we can lower the temperature of the water in the bath to 5,5C°, thanks to which even a short bath can have positive health effects. A sudden decrease in temperature is beneficial for the work of the heart, especially in circulatory problems, and has a positive effect on stimulating blood circulation. Considering that we have about two heat receptors and 12 cold receptors per 1 cm2 of skin and that the adaptation time to low temperature is many times shorter than to high temperature, one can expect greater effectiveness of cold treatment than heat treatment. It was also verified that the heat loss in water is about 250 times greater than in air at the same temperature. The reasons mentioned above motivated the creation of a bathtub for cold water therapy.

The Role of cold water therapy in Sport

The positive effects of cold water therapy in sports are visible at the professional and amateur levels. A cold bath improves performance and supports regenerative processes.

The cold water treatment is recommended as a next step after an intense training session to avoid muscle soreness or as a way to relieve pain. A sudden drop in temperature reduces the risk of inflammation and promotes the distribution of pain-relieving substances in the body.

Cold water therapy has excellent potential for athletes: used before demanding physical exercise, and it can positively impact athletic performance.

Positive effects of cold therapy:

• Faster recovery
• Faster healing of injuries and injuries
• Relieves pain, swelling, inflammation
• Helps avoid muscle soreness
• Supports the regeneration process
• Reduces joint pain
• Regulates metabolism
