In sports therapy, an ice bath, or sometimes cold-water immersion, cold plunge or cold therapy, is a training regimen usually following a period of intense exercise in which a substantial part of a human body is immersed in a bath of ice or ice-water for a limited duration. The method is controversial, with a risk of hypothermia, with the possibility of shock leading to sudden death.
