| Summary: | Immersion and swimming in cold water are an integral part of the human evolution, but also an element and legacy of cultural and religious heritage. It is an integral part of life practice that is becoming more and more popular due to the recognition of the benefits it provides, both in the method of training sports on land, in water and on water, as well as in terms of a person's overall health, age and lifespan. By identifying and analyzing 128 articles from four scientific databases, several areas of knowledge related to the effects of stress, cold water and swimming, i.e. the responses of organic systems and their co-adaptations, were determined. It was determined that empirical facts, theoretical generalizations, as well as practice models were established around a large number of facts of an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary nature of knowledge (classification). In the next step, they were systematized into cognitive frameworks - taxa, as axioms rich in facts of empirical and theoretical experience. Taxa are named on the basis of the cognitive being that "dozes" in them, and that: a) respiration and circulation; b) inflammatory course; c) immune response; g) stress and anxiety; d) aging; f) training and competitive abilities; e) prophylaxis; h) rehabilitation; z) methodological challenges; i) religious customs; j) life habits. By identifying, categorizing and systematizing inter and multidisciplinary facts, a cognitive construct was created for further study and scientific affirmations, encouraging sports practice, recovery, directing life habits, as well as theories related to healthy aging and lifespan. No less important are the facts of the practice of cold water immersion and swimming for life habits, and as part of religious customs. |
