At just 14 years old, Eduardo Carmo is already making a name for himself in the national padel scene. A two-time national youth champion (2022 and 2024) and two-time club national champion, this young athlete demonstrates an exceptional commitment to his sport and development. Recently, he visited the factory where LOTI, an innovative ice bath equipment, is produced to learn more about the product he will be incorporating into his recovery plan.
In high-performance sports, recovery is just as crucial as training and nutrition. Eduardo Carmo understands from an early age that his performance depends not only on time spent on the court but also on how he takes care of his body off it. For a young athlete engaged in intense training and frequent competitions, efficient recovery can be the key factor in staying at the top or facing early injuries.
Cold baths, also known as immersion cryotherapy, are a widely used method among elite athletes to reduce inflammation and accelerate muscle recovery. The process involves immersing the body in water at temperatures between 10°C and 15°C, triggering essential physiological responses for recovery.
1. Vasoconstriction and vasodilation: Cold exposure initially causes blood vessels to constrict (vasoconstriction), reducing blood flow to muscles and minimizing inflammation. As the body returns to its normal temperature, vasodilation occurs, increasing blood flow, allowing for better removal of metabolic waste, and promoting cell regeneration.
2. Inflammation reduction: Cold directly affects inflammatory processes, reducing the activity of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting excessive inflammatory responses following intense training.
3. Reduced muscle soreness: Studies show that cryotherapy significantly reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), allowing athletes to recover faster between training sessions.
4. Improved neuromuscular recovery: The thermal shock from cold water immersion can enhance central nervous system activation, improving neuromuscular response and reducing fatigue.
5. Hormonal regulation: Cold baths positively influences cortisol levels (the stress hormone), reducing its production and favoring better mental and physical recovery for the athlete.
LOTI stands out as a sustainable piece of equipment that enables ice baths without the need for ice, ensuring a practical and efficient experience. By incorporating LOTI into his recovery plan, Eduardo Carmo ensures an effective method to reduce muscle soreness, improve circulation, and optimize his recovery capacity between training and competitions.
For Eduardo Carmo, who trains intensely in padel, immersion cold baths using LOTI provides essential benefits. After exhaustive training sessions and competitions, ice baths enhance blood circulation, speed up muscle repair, and minimize fatigue. Additionally, regular application can help prevent muscle and joint injuries, contributing to greater longevity in sports. In short, ice baths are not just a recovery tool but also an essential complement to the training and performance plan of athletes aiming to stay at the highest competitive level.
The early adoption of essential habits for career longevity by Eduardo Carmo is remarkable. The combination of intensive training, balanced nutrition, adequate rest, and an effective recovery process puts him on a promising path to success in padel.
His visit to the LOTI factory reinforces his commitment to excellence and his continuous search for tools to elevate his competitive level. With a career already full of titles, Eduardo is an example for young athletes aspiring to reach the top in sports.
High-performance sports require more than just talent and dedication. Recovery is a fundamental pillar for any athlete aiming to stay at their peak for many years. At only 14 years old, Eduardo Carmo already demonstrates an impressive awareness of the importance of this process. His investment in LOTI reflects his winning mindset and commitment to evolving in padel.
With this level of professionalism and strategic vision for his career, one thing is certain: Eduardo Carmo is on his way to becoming a national and international padel reference.
