The study’s purpose. This study aims to analyze the effect of the recovery method using cold water immersion (CWI) with different temperatures and administration times. Material and Methods. Thirty-two student-athletes participated in this study. They were divided into four groups, carried out acute physical training with an intensity of 95%, and were given recovery treatments such as CWI during and after physical exercise CWI with temperature 150 Celsius (CWI DP 15), CWI with temperature 150 Celsius after practice physical (CWI P 15), CWI with temperature 100 Celsius after practice physical (CWI P 10), and the Static Rest (SR) group. Analysis descriptive, paired samples t-test, and two-way ANOVA direction used in data analysis. This is that all data were normally distributed (p ≥ 0.05) and homogeneous (p ≤ 0.05). The results of the heart rate analysis found that no There is a significant difference​ between group CWI DP, CWI P 15, and CWI P 10 with the current control group Exercise phase. Meanwhile lactate, there is a difference in concentration of lactate in the CWI DP 15 group against a control group in phase Immediately Post-exercise with a p-value of 0.021; the 10min post-exercise phase is difference significant concentration lactate groups CWI DP15, CWI P15, and CWI P 10 against control group with p- value 0.001, in the 120min post-exercise phase there is difference lactate group CWI P 15 against control group with The p-value is 0.001, in the 24 hours post-exercise phase there is difference concentration lactate CWI DP 15 group against control with p-value 0.0024. Cold Water Immersion (CWI) has been shown to significantly accelerate heart rate recovery (HRR), reduce blood lactate levels, and improve athlete performance, indicating that it may be beneficial in recovery protocols.
