The study examined the effects of three recovery methods - cold water immersion (CWI), active recovery (AR), and passive recovery (CON) - on blood lactate levels, heart rate, and repeated sprint performance. There were no significant differences found between the recovery methods for lactate clearance, heart rate, or 200m sprint times. While not statistically significant, CWI and AR resulted in slightly lower lactate levels than CON after recovery. The results suggest that the recovery methods did not differentially impact repeated sprint performance in recreationally active males.
