About this routine

Cold exposure plays a central role in Erling Haaland's recovery routine during a demanding football season. After intense matches, he uses a specialized whole-body cryotherapy chamber set to sub-zero temperatures around minus 110 degrees Celsius. This brief cold blast helps reduce muscle soreness and decrease inflammation so he can return to high performance training quickly.

Following the three minute cryotherapy session, the sequence moves into active flushing and mechanical recovery. Haaland pairs extreme cold exposure with pneumatic leg compression boots, electrolyte fluid intake, and deliberate lower body stretching. This combined approach targets tissue repair, improves circulation, and clears metabolic waste built up during intense physical exertion.

You can replicate this recovery flow at home using an ice bath or cold shower alongside compression sleeves and post-workout mobility work.

Why this routine works

Speeds up muscle recovery after intense physical exertion
Reduces post-exercise systemic inflammation and joint soreness
Promotes circulation and metabolic waste clearance in lower limbs
Restores lower body flexibility and joint mobility
