The application of sports science is currently continuing to develop, the results of research in the field of sports produce theories or ideas that can be applied directly in the world of sports, especially sports that focus on athlete performance, namely team sports. Recovery is an important factor in a sports team, to maintain the physical condition of athletes in their best performance. The aim of this research is to discuss the effect of using cold water immersion on lactic acid levels in the blood in soccer athletes and how to use it based on temperature, duration and depth of immersion. The research method used was context review, to determine the effect of CWI on reducing lactic acid levels in the blood in more depth. Inspired by previous research conducted on 22 Persebaya U-19 football athletes, by carrying out a simple CWI method using a barrel, and using water temperature maintained at 10°C - 15°C with a duration of 2.40 minutes of soaking and 1.15 minutes of rest for 5 sets. . To find out more about the effects of CWI, there are several research results and CWI methods that have been used to restore reduced levels of lactic acid in the blood, quoted from several articles and research results from national and international e-journals to discuss the physiological effects of using CWI on athletes after intensity training. tall. The result is that CWI can help speed up neuromuscular recovery, reduce pain in muscles. There are several other sports such as running, tennis, cycling, which use the CWI method for recovery, especially reducing lactic acid levels in the blood. As a recommendation, it is hoped that future research can use this tool. which is easier to measure the temperature of the soaking water so that the temperature remains constant as expected
