| Summary: | Recovery technique can help less fatigue, increase the level of athletes, fitness and also
improve performance. The main purpose of this study was to study the effect of cold
water immersion and passive rest on recovery of performance among sprinter athlete. 14
young athletes were selected and have been divided into two groups that were cold water
immersion group (n=7) and passive rest group (n=7). Subject performed three tests that
is 35 meter sprint, standing broad jump and sit and reach. Before the athletes do the test,
they warm up themselves for 10 minutes. After that they do the recovery technique
which was for 15 minutes and then they did the same tests. Data analysis was analysed
using paired samples test which was pre-test and post-test. The results shows that there
was significant effect of cold water immersion on performance, there was significant
effect of passive rest on performance and there were significant different on cold water
immersion and passive rest on performance. Cold water immersion result for 35 meter
sprint (p = 0.001), standing broad jump (p = 0.030) and sit and reach (p = 0.002) which
is showed the decrease of performance and then for passive rest the result in 35 meter
sprint (p = 0.040), standing broad jump (p = 0.042) and sit and reach (p = 0.000) which
is showed the improvement. Conclusion of this study might say that passive rest is good
recovery technique for short period of time and cold water immersion is good for long
period of time. |
