In summary, the results of the present study showed a swimming-
based recovery session, implemented 10 h after the completion
of a high intensity running session, resulted in a significantly greater performance on a TTF test the following
day. It was noticed that that the levels of CRP were significantly
decreased as a result of the swimming-based recovery session,
suggesting a reduced inflammatory response, indicating a positive
effect of the water ’ s hydrostatic pressure. The results of this
investigation provide evidence to promote the implementation
of water-based recovery sessions as a second daily training session
into an athlete ’ s program, in order to allow better quality
training in sessions to be completed on subsequent days
