Handgrip performance (FTI force–time integral) during: (1) passive recovery (PAS); (2) cold water immersion at 8 °C (CW8); and (3) at 15 °C (CW15) in males (a) and females (b). Bold rectangles designate the mean of the trial. Black lines represent athletes with performance changes exceeding minimal detectable change (6323 Ns). *statistically different from the Trial 1 at P < 0.05; #statistically different from the PAS at P < 0.05; ^statistically different from the CW8 at P < 0.05; &significant interaction between males and females at P < 0.05
