ice bath? why do atheletes take a ice bath?
[ ] Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
because it feels soooooooooo good!it lets your body relax and after you strain your body from working out or playing sports ]
because it repairs any little muscle tears you have from what sport you just did and it cools your muscles to keep from strain or tearing them ]
Athletes sometimes over-work their muscles doing whatever they do, and ice calms the swelling in the muscles and dulls the pain for a while. If it is a small area that hurts, a small bag of ice on that spot should be just enough. But sometimes it is the whole leg that is sore and in pain, so they fill a tub with ice and water and lay in it instead of taking 5 icebags and laying them on your legs. They are not fun to do, and are pretty painful for the first 5 minutes before you numb. ]
It helps their muscles.
