Either way is good for you, but whenever i take a cold shower moobear after a workout i always feel like im going to have a heart attack because Registered User my body freaks out! However, when I take a hot shower, after I am done I Joined: Sunday, 13th of June 2010, 04:13:50 sweat a lot because my core temperature is still so hot! So, take a COOL Posts: 84 shower so that you lower your body temperature to a safe level without Viewed 15540 times sweating or going into shock.

the ice cold bath will help sooth the muscles, making the Dipsy muscles less sore the next day. warm bath or shower will not effect you Registered User but a hot shower or bath is not good for ur bones and skin.

Cold = vasoconstriction (limiting blood flow) & hot = muffin cakes vasodilation (opening blood flow). Cold is ''believed'' generally better Registered User for you within a short time (minutes) after an intense workout.

Posts: 807 This has a few known benefits such as reduction of swelling (inflammation) Viewed 4128 times & numbing of pain receptors. It is known that exercise stresses muscle &
connective tissue which causes microtears & inflammation. Cold can help
with reducing that inflammation reducing the pain, toxins, & stress on the
surrounding tissue. But, blood flow is needed later to remove waste &
toxins, promote healing, & regrowth into stronger tissue. Heat can help
promote blood flow through vasodilation.
You need to be careful of a few things concerning usage of cold & heat.
Cold makes tissue stiff & reduces swelling, both good (lubricating) & bad
(inflammatory). It is very easy to injure tissue once it is cold so
movement needs to be very careful & limited. Heat can cause inflammation,
so painful swelling & arthritic cases may want to avoid heat application.
If you are going to apply cold, I think the general best practice is to do
so within minutes after ur workout & cooldown. Several hours later, heat is
generally applied. I recommend cold showers but nothing too extreme. Heat
later that evening & next day.
