Acute Cryotherapy on Musculoskeletal Function

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial compares three groups: a no-exercise/no-cryotherapy control, an exercise with room-temperature cooling, and an exercise with daily cryotherapy for 15 minutes. Outcomes include functional measures and blood biomarkers collected at multiple time points up to about 11 days after exercise. The study uses a two-way ANOVA to analyze time and group effects on the measured endpoints.
