The Effect of Post-Exercise Cryotherapy on Recovery Characteristics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Erich Hohenauer, J. Taeymans, J. Baeyens, P. Clarys, R. Clijsen · 2015 · PLoS ONE
This is a systematic review and meta-analysis pooling randomised or quasi-randomised trials comparing post-exercise cold application against a non-cooling passive control, so no study-level risk-of-bias instrument applies to it. The extracted evidence gives only the article inclusion criteria and reports nothing on design details, participant numbers, outcomes, effect direction, or funding, so the credibility of the pooled estimate and the risk of bias in its constituent trials cannot be judged from what is available here.
