Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Intermittent pneumatic compression

30 minutes of intermittent pneumatic compression at 200mmHg

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intermittent pneumatic compression

Intervention Type DEVICE

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.

Placebo

A hydrant cream on a pad will be placed on participants quadriceps stating that they are using an inovative recovery cream.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Intermittent pneumatic compression

Intervention Type DEVICE

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.
