The results are in for the 30 day Chill Tub study
Cold water therapy is recovery technique that can be used by athletes toreduce muscle soreness, improve recovery time, decrease inflammation and improve circulation.
Back in June we documented Rob’s 30-day Chill Tub study journey on social media with regular updates and videos on his progress including any changes he was starting to see. During this time, he noticed that his energy levels and recovery improved, he felt happier and he was sleeping better too.
Rob also had the same series of tests with TransformNow at the end of the 30 day study so we could compare the results. The tests were taken exactly a month afterwards and at the same time of day.
Dr Imran Khan has confirmed the following: “All markers are slightly better by a few percentage points. The study has indicated that the inflammation has decreased from 9.06 to 7.06 mg/L, a 22% decrease.
“Rob’s cortisol levels have also reduced by 24.9% from 533 to 400 nmol/L whilst his testosterone levels have also increased by 16% from 12.20 to 14.20 nmol/L.
“And from the immunology tests, Rob’s Rheumatoid Factor has decreased from <10 to 9.00 and the Interleukin 6 has decreased from 4.6 to 3.2.
“Rob is at an advantage as he is already incredibly lean and trains every day. Therefore, the results have indicated only a slight change. If we had done the same study with someone with a different body composition who did not exercise regularly the results could have been very different.
If the study had been for a longer duration that one month the results may have indicated a greater impact.
Overall we can say that using the Chill Tub every day has indicated that it can result in minor improvements on the body. Due to the short length of the study we can’t conclusively say that it proves it but certainly it is a very good indication.
Rob’s weight also reduced from 77.5kg to 75.8kg, his BMI reduced from 23.4 to 22.9 and his body fat percentage reduced from 12.8% to 11.9% and his genetic age was also 2.5 years younger than he actually is which is another indicator that using an ice bath every day is a good thing.
We also asked Rob what the experience was like using the Chill Tub every day: “I actually enjoyed the experience. The first few days were hard but once I got used to it I was actually looking forward to using the Chill Tub. I did notice a considerable difference in my energy levels and it certainly help with my recovery from training.
“I suffer from poor circulation and took a photo at the start of the study and at the end and my circulation had definitely improved.
“I also felt it improved my mental health too. I felt much happier and positive and on average I actually slept better too.
Rob would like to thank Imran and the team at TransformNow who provided him with the tests to carry out this study. He is continuing with the ice bath journey and is now a regular user of Chill Tubs.
