Cold showers do not relieve muscle soreness. The cause of muscle soreness is the accumulation of metabolic products such as lactic acid in the muscle tissue after exercise. Or limbs remain in one position for too long, or frequent muscle contractions lead to muscle and surrounding soft tissue fatigue and inflammatory response. Cold water bath can make the body temperature lower, make the limbs vasoconstriction, slow down the blood flow rate, is not conducive to the metabolism and excretion of lactic acid. It cannot effectively relieve the symptoms of muscle soreness. If the muscle soreness is caused by cold leading to more tension in the muscle tissue, blood circulation will slow down the accumulation of metabolites. After taking a cold shower, blood circulation will be further slowed down, leading to further buildup of inflammation and gradual aggravation of the condition. Consult a medical professional in case of muscle soreness.
