Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Following Exercise-induced Muscle Damaged

Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Following Exercise-induced Muscle Damaged

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

Inclusion Criteria:

• To be eligible for participating in this study, participants should not have been recently injured, and should engage physical activity regularly (>3 times/week).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Inactive participants
• Younger than 18 years old or older than 27 years old
