Muscle damage There were trends towards lower levels of CK in the cold water immersion group in comparison to contrast water immersion, at all time points (<6 h: MD 68.70 U.L −1 , 95% CI −217.95 to 355.35, 1 trial; 24 hours: MD 204.98 U.L −1 , 95% CI −12.11 to 422.07, 3 trials; 48 hours: MD 35.62 U.L −1 , 95% CI −110.46 to 181.69, 2 trials; 72 hours: MD 155.00 U.L −1 , 95% CI −137.71 to 447.71, 1 trial) however these did not reach statistical significance.
