Human physiology is affected by extreme conditions and effective recovery methods are an important part of strategies to prevent decreasing performance. New publications about interactions between cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, and immune systems, thermoregulation, and general metabolism show us the way to influence on as many systems as possible at one time. Regular intense physical exercise can help us influence our systems to take a positive shift for our physiology. Immersion in water, and even more so in salty float water, is the counterbalance to intense exercises. Understanding of recovery effects of flotation on the human physiology helps us to achieve the different levels of the human performance in normal and extreme conditions.
