Abstract
The purposes of this research were 1) to study the effects of cold water immersion on body recovery, and 2) to compare between the effects of cold water immersion and the normal body recovery of under-16-year Thailand women's national football team by considering the difference of lactic acid level in blood between the normal recovery and the cold water immersion. The results were analyzed in the form of mean scores of lactic acid level of the normal recovery and the cold water immersion. The researcher also applied Pairs-Sample t-test with the statistical significance at the level of .01 The results showed that the mean scores of lactic acid level of samples between before and after the normal recovery for 15 minutes and before and after cold water immersion recovery for 15 minutes were different with the statistical significance at the level of .01 The mean scores of lactic acid level of samples between after the normal recovery for 15 minutes and the cold water immersion recovery for 15 minutes were different with the statistical significance at the level of .01 In addition, the 15-minute cold water immersion recovery was more effective than 15 minute normal recovery for training football players.
