I recently watched a documentary on brittish eurosport of the HSI group and during this, straight after a competition Jon Drummond wiped his legs and said " Im wipeing away the heat" I was wondering if trying to lower the temperature this way was any good and what the benefit of doing straight after running would be I meen He didnt warm down he was straight from the track!!!
I wish i lived in england so i could see this stuff. Wiping away the heat huh? Is there any way of getting the complete collection of hsi clips from british sports. I have seen some of them on british websites but there must be more. Those guys crack me up with their witty comments.
Another comment here. The pool was a very popular place at the olympics. Most of the athletes went to the pool imediately following competions or workouts. Could we get some conversation going on body tempatures. Different sports and the effect on body tempature for each of them?
tim they go straight for a cold soak.that has been out for years and currently getting alot of media from the hsi clips,they always soak after heavy training or meets.
recovery,reduces inflammation
Ok.
Cold soak as referring to getting wiped down with cold sponges correct?
yeah, the HSI sprinters docu soap is fun to watch.
i think you can watch all videos on the eurosport website.

have fun!
no tim,on numerous occasions it showed them all bathing in cold water,whether it was a wheelie bin or tub.once it covers to the waist-line
Sorry I sound dumb here yes I’ll admitt I have never heard of them doing this. For how long? Ato why didnt you tell me this.
We dont get the series in the states.
its nothing new tim,we have been discusing this topic in the recovery section for months.i have been doing it for years with good results
So I guess contrast showers are the next good thing if you don’t have a really large and cool watercontainer at home?
through me a link to that X-man im a little bit slow today the only thing i have eaten is an eggmcsandwich.
this thread is getting annoying first it went from wipe downs to cold tubs now I cant find any link to references of hsi doing this. Can some give me a link here. Maybe they have been erased.
Tim go to recovery/regeneration thread = ice baths as recovery.i can’t believe you can’t remember this as a recovery aid.we have discussed this numerous times and its old news by now.even horses get showered down after races!
alright thanks.

didnt see anything…I just want to see something, I not trying to argue.
Go to Clemson’s website and search for an article titled Mr. Freeze.
alright ill do that.
This is like a wild goose chase. I didnt see any referrence to hsi.
I thought you were referring more to ice baths in general, than the implimentation of them by members of HSI.
alright cool yea sorry. do you know where i could find hsi references?
