Peaking and tapering

PEAKING

Peaking at the perfect time for a competition is a strategic and calculated plan. Whole Body Cryotherapy can provide an edge and help athletes peak mentally and physically for performance.

TAPERING

Tapering refers to the reduction of training days or a week before an important competition and is essential for optimal performance. Tapering allows for re fuelling the body and better aerobic performance, increased endurance and motivation. Whole body cryotherapy increases the effectiveness of tapering through reducing acute and chronic pain, reducing recovery time, supporting the immune system, and increasing endorphins.

Cryotherapy for performance

Cryotherapy causes a reduction of inflammation and supply of fresh and oxygen rich blood to areas of injury, reducing pain and recovery time. Cryotherapy creates a strengthened immune system, preventing sickness and infections, allowing athletes to be in a healthy state for optimal performance. Cryotherapy allows for an increase in endorphins as it is a natural instinct of the body and is utilised as a survival tactic. Increased endorphins allow for increased energy levels and positive thoughts, both of which are critical in strong performance. Cryotherapy naturally stimulates an increase in natural testosterone levels, which is responsible for increased muscle mass, weight control and increased energy, all of which benefits the performance of males and females.
