This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cryotherapy in reducing swelling from sports injuries. Sports injuries often lead to swelling, which can delay the recovery process and interfere with physical activity. The research employed an experimental design with pre-test and post-test, involving 30 athletes who experienced mild to moderate injuries. Participants were divided into two groups: the intervention group received cryotherapy for 15 minutes after the injury, while the control group received no intervention. Swelling levels were measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) before and after the intervention. The results indicated that the intervention group experienced a significant reduction in swelling compared to the control group (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that cryotherapy is effective in reducing swelling due to sports injuries, thereby potentially accelerating athletes’ recovery processes. This study aims to provide insights for coaches and physiotherapists in implementing more effective treatment methods for sports injuries
