| Abstract: | This document provides a summary of 24 publications that examine the effects of cold water exposure on various physiological, psychological, and biochemical parameters. The findings are inconclusive regarding the psychological effects, with limited effects on cognitive functions. The impact on muscular temperature, lactate concentration, and fatigue perception varied. Blood pressure remained stable, while heart rate showed contradictory results. The lipid profile and body composition remained largely unchanged, except for variations in HDL-c and triglycerides. Stress-related hormone responses were mixed, and inflammatory markers showed inconsistent impacts. The authors suggest the need for standardized protocols, larger sample sizes, and longer follow-up times to further understand the effects of cold water exposure and its potential therapeutic applications.
