A cold plunge sits in a locker room in the Signature Tracking for Optimized Nutrition and Training, or STRONG, Lab at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, Aug. 14, 2024. Researchers used the cold plunge to evaluate the optimal temperature for general health and wellness support and to accelerate muscle recovery following physical training and exercise. The STRONG Lab, part of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s 711th Human Performance Wing, Human Effectiveness Directorate, is a premier exercise science facility that unites research with the needs of military human performance and operational support teams.
