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 | 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. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Countermovement jump height | Height measure using CMJ test | 30 minute, 24 hour, 48 hour |
| low-frequency fatigue | LFF measured using Myocene (Liege, Belgium) | baseline, 30 minute, 24 hour, and 48 hour |
| creatine-kinase | Muscle damage asses using the biomarker CK | baseline, 24 hour, and 48 hour |
| Hooper index | Application of the hooper index questionnaire | baseline, 30 minute, 24 hour, and 48 hour |
