Why UFC fighters use cryotherapy? It's bulsh*t.

There is no scientific evidence that cryotherapy works. I try to find something and in lot of articles scientists said that there is no evidence that cryotherapy work. Its maybe placebo effect or something like that. Even if its work what will be mechanism of that. I dont think so that stay in the cold place make you stronger.

Errrr actually there's quite a lot of evidence, try googling 'cold shock proteins' and their benefits bud
 
Yet there is evidence that weight cutting is super bad and they still do that, go figure.

This cryo stuff is no different then football and basketball players soaking in ice baths. It just a new way to get cool fast.
 
It toughens this pussy generation up mentally. It's exactly what someone needs after Instagram drama - to be submerged in a receptacle of freezing water.
 
Even if the effects were just subjective(they aren't), if it helps you, do it.

Also tons of athletes do it.

I bet you just read one of those "medical" articles like those that claim vaccination is bad.
 
Basically it increases your blood flow and reduces inflammation by stimulating strong circulatory and nervous system responses. Seems to help with pain and soreness which on its own might give folks a boost.

Here's a quote and a bit from an article on it:
“The concept is very simple: You go into the chamber, and it’s a fight or flight response,” Fryben says. “You start to breathe much faster. It’s a little short-lasting stress on the body.” My breath indeed grew more rapid, and after a minute or so I started feeling a tingling sensation in my limbs. Fryben assured me this was normal. It’s caused by a release of endorphins that occurs throughout your body.

Here's the article:

And here's probably a better article:

I dont find any evidence that they can help sportsman. Just show me one scientific article which describe this effects.

Please show me SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE with experiment that shows that benefits.

Hell my mom did it when she rehabed her shoulder. She said it helped her a lot.

Vaccines are bad, but the medical people aren't going to tell you that. I know I know, get all the shots and gov't injections you want; more for you.
 
Well, a guy on sherdog with terrible english ain't gonna push me in either direction
 
Step up your research game
<{ohyeah}>

That's factually incorrect. Make sure your kids get their vaccinations. It endangers public health if they don't. Almost all of the scientific research supports that.

Enjoy dying from some Victorian era disease while you don't get vaccinated.
 
I was lazy and didn't read the entire thing but this is a review article (scientific journal article that reviews other studies on the topic) that supports cryotherapy as having positive benefits for recovery and healing.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5411446/

Just go to google scholar and do your research. It took under 1 min to find this article. I'm sure its the tip of the iceberg but perhaps next time you make a forum demanding scientific research articles you could post the research you found to support the position or point you are trying to make. AKA, site your sources. I found no articles saying it is pseudoscience like you suggest.

Not hugely familiar with this cryo thing but neither the first nor the last human to fall for a placebo.

What the fuck was Wanderlei Silva doing with that mask thing.

They are not known for their IQ.
