A randomized study was conducted during two training periods. The first stage of a 5-day cryostimulation procedure took place in November 2022, during the training period after the end of the league season. The second stage was conducted in January 2023, during the preparation period in full training loads. The sequence of procedures used in both stages was the same (fig. 1). Before the application of cryostimulation, both PBC and CON groups underwent measurements: anthropometric using Tanita BC-418 MA analyzer (Medizin \& Service GmbH, Germany), step frequency (tapping) and lower limb maximal power (jump with sweep, jump without sweep), Opto Gait optical system (MicroGate Timing and Sport, BONZAMO, Italy ). Athletes in the PBC group, at the same hours of 8: 00 (stage I) and 17:00 (stage II), were subjected daily to cryostimulation in a JUKA cryosauna (model 0104-1, Germany). Both PBC and CON groups participated in training together throughout the study period.
