Ice Bath by Sports Star Questioned
The nature of this effect of ice is still unclear and needs further research.
John Brewer, Director of the Lucozade Sports Science Academy, said he did not find it surprising that there was no difference between the two samples.
"I don't find it hard to believe that the ice doesn't have any long-term benefit, although I would question whether the ice group really did feel more pain after 24 hours than the tepid group. The problem with pain is that it is subjective and very hard to measure," he said.
"And because it's subjective, there may even be a placebo effect on those who take the cold bath. Its part of their ritual, it finishes off the endurance test, and many clearly report that it makes them feel better."

Speaking about hot or cold [in this case ice]- looking at nature - the sun rise and the sun set, and the comfort zone experienced by a human between the rising and the setting period- this period is neither too hot nor too cold, thus too hot or too cold is never comfortable , and what is too hot or too cold is a matter of individual choice and comfort. Thus a via media temperature is always good for health, true to the saying 'too much of any thing is always bad in the long run'.
