I am training for the Olympics and stand a good chance of gaining a medal place - someone may guess who i am Σ! I have been told that race horses now train like atheletes by running in cold sea water to absorb both water and minerals into their blood stream by osmosis ( see www.seawalker.com)I cant see how any physiological benefit could accrue other than helping repair micro tissue riping in muscle building ? would it be better to run in cold sea water before or after exercise ? what could be the chemicial and cellular processes taking place or is it mythology?
