Comparison of increase in skin surface temperature (°C) throughout all recoveries between gel pack and ice bag groups
| Modality | First recovery: rise*°C | Significant level between gel and ice (p value) | Second recovery: rise*°C | Significant level between gel and ice (p value) | Third recovery: rise*°C | Significant level between gel and ice (p value) | Fourth recovery: rise*°C | Significant level between gel and ice (p value) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICE | 4.3±0.7 | p<0.1 | 3.9±2.2 | p<0.4 | 4.8±1.3 | p<0.17 | 4.1±1.5 | p<0.71 |
| GEL | 3.0±1.8 | 3.2±0.9 | 4.2±0.9 | 3.5±1.0 |
