Recover like a footballer
Heat
10–15 minutes in a sauna raises circulation, relaxes muscles and helps the body unwind after intense effort.
Cold
A cold plunge or dip afterwards is widely used by athletes to reduce next-day soreness and sharpen recovery.
Repeat
Alternating hot and cold — contrast therapy — is a simple, proven ritual between match days.
