Is Cold Exposure worth prioritizing?

Meta-analyses consistently find cold water immersion reduces delayed-onset muscle soreness and modestly improves perceived recovery after strenuous exercise, with effects present across team-sport and endurance contexts and influenced by water temperature and immersion duration. Weighing that against the numbers, Cold Exposure is not a priority based on current data — the evidence is only moderate (59/100), and its estimated impact (24/100) is on the lower end too.
