Objective: To determine the effect of immersion in cold water on markers of muscle damage induced by eccentric exercise. Methodology: Quasi-experimental study, with 15 male swimmers, 10 in the treatment group and 5 in the control group. After the eccentric protocol, with 2 series of 10 repetitions in knee extension, the treatment group had 15 minutes of immersion in cold water, at 15 °C ± 1 °C, and the control group had 15 minutes of immersion in thermoneutral water, at 32 °C ± 1 °C. The variables (CK, LDH, vertical jump, power and pain perception) were recorded at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the intervention. Results: Immersion in cold water has no statistically significant effects in reducing markers of muscle damage.
