Many elite athletes swear by a post-workout ice bath to recover faster and to reduce soreness and muscle pain. The cold temps are thought to constrict blood vessels and flush waste products out of the damaged tissues, reducing swelling. When you come out of the bath, and your body begins to warm up, you have improved circulation, which also helps with the healing process. I'll be honest, I'd rather deal with sore muscles for a few days than a freezing cold bath for 20 minutes. Sometimes I do take a cold shower post-workout but wouldn't swear to you that it helps.
