**Memo: Cold-Water Immersion Benefits Are Bounded by Training Modality** Alpha: Cold-water immersion aids recovery in heat-stressed endurance work but appears to blunt adaptation when applied to strength training, suggesting the intervention's value is endpoint-dependent. Receipt 1: Roberts et al., *The Effects of Daily Cold-Water Recovery and Postexercise Hot-Water Immersion on Training-Load Tolerance During 5 Days of Heat-Based Training* (2020, IJSPP). Receipt 2: Malta et al., *Does Cold-Water Immersion After Strength Training Attenuate Training Adaptation?* (2020, IJSPP). Why surprising: A single recovery modality (CWI) produces opposite-sign outcomes across two papers from the same journal/year—one treats CWI as a performance/recovery enabler, the other as an adaptation attenuator—despite identical intervention nomenclature. Caveats/falsifiers: Both abstracts are empty here, so directionality rests on titles alone; protocols, water temperatures, timing windows, and training status of subjects are unknown. If CWI parameters (duration/temperature) differ materially between studies, the modality-boundary claim collapses into a dose-effect story. Falsified if a head-to-head replication under matched conditions shows uniform benefit or uniform attenuation across modalities.
