A new study shows that a cold plunge is more effective at easing inflammation, swelling and fatigue from exercise.

A hot tub is better than cold plunging for exercise performance, according to the study.

Experts say there are some risks to consider, but there are very little to no risks.

Hot water immersion involves partially immersing yourself in hot water in a hot tub.

At the end of three weeks , participants had a 3.2% improvement in their bodies' efficiency in using oxygen.

You can develop dehydration, dizziness, lightheadedness and headaches from hot water immersion.

If you have access to cold plunging and to a hot tub, Malin recommends trying both and seeing how you feel.
