Would someone please post the "no-ice" research link.
Thank You
Stamper- Here is http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/sampleworkouts… which talks about the benefits of cold water therapy which is different than an actual ICE bath, which tends to be too cold.
And this one: http://www.physioroom.com/research/reviews/200401… which leaves a bit of room for interpretation! As most studies do.

And another one, somewhat mixed results again imo.
Thank you again for posting the links. It appears we are lacking a definitive study to understand the systematic effects of acutely or chronically using ice baths.
