Optimizing Cold-Water Immersion for Exercise-Induced Hyperthermia: An Evidence-Based Paper.
CONCLUSIONS: Hyperthermic individuals were cooled twice as fast by CWI as by passive recovery. Therefore, the former method is the preferred choice when treating patients with exertional heat stroke. Water temperature should be <10°C, with the torso and limbs immersed. Insufficient published evidence supports CWI of the forearms and hands. PMID: 27441949 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Is There Evidence that Runners can Benefit from Wearing Compression Clothing?
Conclusion Our present findings suggest that by wearing compression clothing, runners may improve variables related to endurance performance (i.e., time to exhaustion) slightly, due to improvements in running economy, biomechanical variables, perception, and muscle temperature. They should also benefit from reduced muscle pain, damage, and inflammation.

Republished research: Effects of circuit training as alternative to usual physiotherapy after stroke: randomised controlled trial
This article is an abridged version of a paper that was published on bmj.com. Cite this article as: BMJ 2012;344:e2672 Abstract Study question What is the effect of task oriented circuit training compared with usual physiotherapy in terms of self reported walking competency for patients with stroke discharged from a rehabilitation centre to their own home? Summary answer Task oriented circuit training started in the first six months is as effective as individually tailored physiotherapy for patients with moderate to mild stroke and allows patients to exercise more intensively with a lower ratio of staff to patients.
