Summary

This study aims to identify the effects of the use of intermittent pneumatic compression on the recovery kinetics following an official soccer match, in comparision with a placebo condition. Participants will perform neuromuscular tests (ie, cmj, low-frequency fatigue), respond to perception scales (RPE, perceived fatigue, soreness, sleep), and biochemical tests (CK analysis). These assessments will be carried out before the match, 30 minutes post match, at the 24th and 48th hour.

Conditions

• Intermittent Pneumatic Compression
• Placebo - Control

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Intermittent pneumatic compression	Following a soccer match, athletes will be enrolled in a recovery treatment: placebo intervention or intermittent pneumatic compression. Participants will be randomly assigned to each group. Neuromuscular tests (cmj) and perceptual questionnaires (hooper index) will be conducted.
