Abstract
This research was a study of the recovery by immersing in cold water in different time duration together with siting at rest, which affected the time statistics, lactate content, and heart rate. The samples used in this research were 12 Thai swimmers, aged between 18 to 24 years old. The subjects were assigned to swim at maximum speed in 100 meter front crawl stroke. The recovery was performed in 3 ways: 20 minute rest (control group) and cold water immersion at a water temperature of 14 °C with 10-minute immersion then sit and rest for 10 minutes (experiment 1), 15-minute immersion then sit and rest for 5 minutes (experiment 2). The first test will perform experiment 1, the experiment was performed 48 hours apart (every other day). The amount of lactate content was collected from the fingertips and the heart rate measured at 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes. After that, the samples were assigned to swim with front crawl stroke at a distance of 100 meters with maximum speed again to record the swimming time statistics after the recovery. The collected data were analyzed by using F-test by setting statistical significance at .05. The results showed that when comparing the time statistics after the recovery of each experiment, there were no statistically significant differences, whereas in the average lactate content and average heart rate after the recovery of experiment 1 and 2 there was a lower average than that in the control group with statically significance difference (p < .50). In conclusion, the immersion of cold water immersion at a water temperature of 14 °C with 10-minute immersion then sit and rest for 10 minutes and 15-minute immersion then sit and rest for 5 minutes decreased the lactate content and heart rate resulting in faster recovery.
