Summary
This study aims to assess the recovery kinetics following an exercise-induced muscle damage activity (using flywheel) on active healthy university students. The main questions are: \- Is intermittent pneumatic compression superior to a placebo recovering from EIMD? Participants will perform a fatiguing protocol using flywheel and recover with either intermittent pneumatic compression or with a placebo treatment (micro-current treatment, but the device turned off). They will perform several performance tests before, following the recovery period, and at the 24h and 48h following the intervention
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | intermittent pneumatic compression protocol | A 30 min IPC protocol at about 200mmHg |
| OTHER | Placebo treatment | The electrodes of an electrostimulation device (SP 4.0, Compex, Guildford, United Kingdom) will be positioned on participants' quadriceps. Participants will be informed that they are engaging an innovative microcurrent treatment. This procedure will last for 30 min. |
