Research Review: Stretching to prevent or reduce muscle soreness after exercise (Cochrane Review - Herbert, et al 2011)
Nice Review. Do you recommend cryotherapy post workouts?
Not really proven to do much yet; most evidence based recovery modality is an ice bath for 10 minutes
Thank you for the post. Is there a role for light yoga and/or water-based exercises on "off workout days" to improve soreness?
You're welcome. Light yoga and/or water based exercises would be considered dynamic or active recovery which are both proven to be more helpful with recovery
