Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the use of intermittent compression boots (IPC) on post exercise recovery in collegiate athletes. Blood lactate will be analyzed (use of a finger prick) as a marker of physiological recovery. We will also analyze pre- and post-ankle range of motion using a handheld VALD DynaMo device to assess joint recovery and vertical jump performance using VALD ForceDecks to measure muscle readiness. These tests are widely used in sports science research but have not been measured collectively as a means to assess performance.

Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Force Production	Countermovement Jump. A higher force production for the concentric portion of a CMJ is the desired outcome post intervention.	1 hour

Secondary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Lactate Levels	Blood Lactate Levels measured in mmol/L. A lower value during and after intervention is the desired result.	1 hour

Other Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Range of Motion	Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion. Increased ankle ROM is the desired effect.	1 hour
