Effects of Cooling on Ankle Muscle Strength, Electromyography, and Gait Ground Reaction Forces

Figure 1

The procedure of experimental study: each subject performed 3 maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) and 3 gait trails during the pre- and postcooling stages. The subjects performed precooling trials, followed by 20 min of cold water immersion at 10°C, followed by the trials immediately after cooling.
