Postexercise Cold-Water Immersion Does Not Attenuate Muscle Glycogen Resynthesis.
Warren Gregson,Robert Allan,Susan Holden,Padraic J. Phibbs,Dominic A. Doran,Iain T. Campbell,Sarah Waldron,Change Hwa Joo,James P. Morton +8 more
TL;DR: Postexercise CWI does not attenuate muscle glycogen resynthesis rates during short-term recovery even when CHO availability is considered suboptimal, and athletes who regularly incorporate CWI as a recovery strategy to alleviate symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage should therefore not be concerned with potential negative effects of the associated reductions in muscle blood flow.

Hannah F. Dugdale,David C. Hughes,Robert Allan,Colleen S. Deane,Christopher R. Coxon,James P. Morton,Claire E. Stewart,Adam P. Sharples,Adam P. Sharples +8 more
TL;DR: Overall, resveratrol evoked myotube hypertrophy in DM conditions while favouring ‘slower’ Myhc gene expression and acutely ameliorated impaired myotubes growth observed during glucose restriction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the key mechanisms surrounding cold water immersion and endurance exercise adaptations, reiterating the potential for CWI to enhance endurance performance, with support from classical and contemporary works, and discuss the implications and insights gathered from recent studies examining the longer-term effects of CWI on training performance and recovery.
Effects of Montmorency Tart Cherry and Blueberry Juice on Cardiometabolic and Other Health-Related Outcomes: A Three-Arm Placebo Randomized Controlled Trial
Jonathan Kenneth Sinclair,Lindsay Bottoms,Stephanie Dillon,Robert Allan,Gareth Shadwell,Bobbie Butters +5 more
TL;DR: Tart cherry and blueberry juices could be an effective approach to assist in managing cardiometabolic disease and psychological wellbeing indices measured using the Beck Depression Inventory, State Trait Anxiety Inventory, and COOP WONCA improved statistically in the blueberry arm compared to placebo.
