Figure 1 Schematic of research design. Schematic of the research design including cold water immersion (CWI) group and cold air therapy (CAT) group with indirect markers of muscle damage (i.e. creatine kinase, isometric knee flexor/extensor torque, muscle soreness and muscle fatigue) and anaerobic performance (i.e. cycling Wingate test) denoted in vertical arrows conducted prior to (T0), immediately post (T1), 24 (T24), 48 (T48) and 72 (T72) h post strength training (ST) session.
