The reason the estimation on the historical development of Qi Gong is because it was passed down amongst monks and teachers in secrecy. For example, Acupuncture was discovered by American doctors in the 1970s even though it has been practiced for thousands of years. Qi means energy or the state of energy within the person. This powerful art will enhance your overall performance in more ways than one. Studies have also proved that ice baths enhanced recovery. However, I am not sure most people would enjoy a ice bath so you may consider a cold swim if that sounds better to you!
