Description
Summary:<p>The purpose this study was to investigate the comparison between Cold Water</p><p>Immersion (CWI) and Active Recovery (AR) on perceived pain relieve after</p><p>performing High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) among male football players. The</p><p>study used a quasi-experimental method as its research design. A random sample of</p><p>36 footballers from a public university age ranging from 18 to 23 years old was</p><p>selected for the study. They were assigned to two groups, namely CWI (n=18) and</p><p>AR (n=18). All participants performed Tabata Training for 20 minutes before</p><p>undergo recovery intervention. Recovery intervention using CWI was conducted for</p><p>10 minutes with temperature of 15C, while AR was conducted for 10 minutes by</p><p>cycling on cycle ergometer with speed of 60 RPM, load 50w with moderate intensity</p><p>of 50%-60%. Both recovery interventions were performed immediately, after 24</p><p>hours and 48 hours. Visual Analog Scale was used to measure perceived pain relieve</p><p>on 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours. Repeated Measure One-way ANOVA was</p><p>utilized for data analysis. ANOVA result revealed there was no significant difference</p><p>between CWI and AR after 24 hours of recovery [F(1,34) = 0.507; p>0.05]. However,</p><p>there was a significant difference on perceived pain relieve between CWI and AR</p><p>during 48 hours [F(1,34) = 92.53; p<0.05] and 72 hours [F(1,34) = 326.96; p<0.05].</p><p>In addition, the finding also showed that there was a significant interaction among</p><p>CWI during 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours [F(2,34)= 2332.60; p<0.05]. Besides,</p><p>there was a significant interaction among AR during 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours</p><p>[F(2,34)=1051.91; p<0.05]. In conclusion, the data revealed that there was a</p><p>significant effect for perceived pain relieve after performing HIIT for both</p><p>interventions. The implication of the study highlights that both methods of recovery</p><p>process could be used by football players for pain relieve after training and</p><p>competition.</p>
