Over two days, the 4th and 5th of November, athletes from over 10 gyms across Singapore pushed their physical boundaries at both Mobilus Clarke Quay and Chinatown locations. In the midst of this high-octane environment, TUNDRA Ice Bath stood out by facilitating swift recovery, allowing athletes to maintain peak performance across the event's rigorous workouts.

Q&A Section

Q1: What exactly is cold plunge therapy, and how does it aid in recovery?
A1: Cold plunge therapy involves immersing the body in cold water after physical activity. It helps reduce muscle inflammation, alleviate pain, and speed up the recovery process by decreasing metabolic activity and reducing blood flow to the muscles.

Q2: How long after a workout should you take a cold plunge for optimal benefits?
A2: It's best to take a cold plunge as soon as possible after a workout to help control inflammation and commence the recovery process. The sooner you can cool down your muscles, the better.

Q3: Can cold plunge therapy be harmful? Are there any risks?
A3: Cold plunge therapy is generally safe but may not be appropriate for everyone, especially those with certain health conditions such as cardiovascular disease. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting cold water immersion, especially if you have any underlying health concerns.
