Cryo Recovery?

It's not a joke. Cryotherapy is an alternative to ice baths or cold packs. It is that cold (below -100 degrees Celsius) and the players are in there for 2-4 minutes.

Thanks for the link.

 

It's definitely possible. One of my physics instructors in college put his hand in liquid nitrogen in front of the class. Just for a few seconds though. He explained that there's a bit of a barrier that is formed so it would cause harm until the cold started to penetrate into the body more. I thought 2-4 minutes would be past that threshold but apparently not.

It's proven to be extremely effective according to every single marketing pamphlet I've ever come across.

 

There are a couple version of this- full body and neck-down. Full body is more of a freezer you walk in to. I think they only allow 2-3 minutes max at a time, and you'll have to work up to that. 30-60 seconds for a first timer is likely.

 

From what I've heard, anyway.
