# Alpha memo: cold water immersion training modality boundary

**One-sentence alpha:** The Effects of Daily Cold-Water Recovery and Postexercise Hot-Water Immersion on Training-Load Tolerance During 5 Days of Heat-Based Training. made us expect cold would help recovery or performance; Cold-water immersion after training sessions: effects on fiber type-specific adaptations in muscle K + transport proteins to sprint-interval training in men forces the update that the same intervention may be bounded by training modality or adaptation endpoint.

**Receipt 1:** The Effects of Daily Cold-Water Recovery and Postexercise Hot-Water Immersion on Training-Load Tolerance During 5 Days of Heat-Based Training. | 2020 | 10.1123/ijspp.2019-0313 | finding: These findings suggest that cold-water recovery may negatively affect TL during 5 days of heat-based training, hot-water recovery could increase session-RPE TL, and the session-RPE method can detect environmental temperature-mediated increases in TL in the con

**Receipt 2:** Cold-water immersion after training sessions: effects on fiber type-specific adaptations in muscle K + transport proteins to sprint-interval training in men | 2018 | 10.1152/japplphysiol.00259.2018 | finding: Effects of regular use of cold-water immersion (CWI) on fiber type-specific adaptations in muscle K + transport proteins to intense training, along with their relationship to changes in mRNA levels after the first training session, were investigated in humans.

**Why this is surprising:** The pair has `modality_boundary` geometry over `cold, water, immersion` rather than a broad literature-summary bridge.

**Caveats/falsifiers:**
- Reject if the shared anchor is not the same construct/intervention in the full text.
- Reject if later receipts show the apparent reversal is only population, dose, or measurement noise.
- Reject if either receipt is a review, case-only report, or keyword-only match.
