Countermovement-jump height, change-of-direction performance, 10- and 20-m sprint times, heart-rate variability (log-transformed squared root of the mean sum of the squared differences between R-R intervals [Ln-rMSSD]), muscle soreness, and perceived recovery (Perceived Recovery Status Scale [PRS]) were recorded at prematch, postmatch, postrecovery, and 24\u00a0hours postmatch. Additionally, Ln-rMSSD was recorded upon awakening on match day and the following morning. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Compared with CON, higher PRS values were reported in WBC at prematch and postrecovery (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u2009.026), while no significant between-interventions differences were found for any other measure (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05). Regarding the effect of time, our findings revealed that 20-m sprint times, Ln-rMSSD, and PRS deteriorated in both interventions from prematch to postmatch (ie,\u00a0acute changes, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u2009.045), while muscle soreness worsened in WBC only (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u2009.003). Conversely, countermovement-jump height, change-of-direction, and 10-m sprint performance were unaffected by match play in the acute phase (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05), while none of the investigated measures showed impairments at 24\u00a0hours postmatch, compared with prematch (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05). <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Overall, these findings suggest that WBC was mostly ineffective for improving postexercise recovery in the investigated sample, with benefits observed for perceived recovery being potentially influenced by the participants\u2019 status at baseline (ie,\u00a0higher prematch PRS scores in WBC compared with CON).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2024-0085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,23]],"date-time":"2024-08-23T18:43:10Z","timestamp":1724438590000},"page":"1218-1226","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Chill Without Thrill: A Crossover Study on Whole-Body Cryotherapy and Postmatch Recovery in High-Level Youth Basketball Players"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9989-845X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marco","family":"Pernigoni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Coaching Science, Lithuanian Sports University, Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9835-2930","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Andrea","family":"Perazzetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Movement, Human and Health Sciences, University of Rome \u201cForo Italico,\u201d Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mattia","family":"Digno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stella Azzurra Basketball Academy, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3542-0991","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Antonio","family":"Tessitore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Movement, Human and Health Sciences, University of Rome \u201cForo Italico,\u201d Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6476-1069","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sigitas","family":"Kamandulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sport Science and Innovations, Lithuanian Sports University, Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3551-1030","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Daniele","family":"Conte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Movement, Human and Health Sciences, University of Rome \u201cForo Italico,\u201d Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"r1","series-title":"Sports","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.3390\/sports6010019","article-title":"Monitoring and managing fatigue in basketball","volume":"6","author":"Edwards T","year":"2018","unstructured":"Edwards T, Spiteri T, Piggott B, Bonhotal J, Haff GG, Joyce C.
