This research looks into how well Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) helps muscles recover after intense exercise, causing muscle damage. IPC is a method that uses air-filled sleeves to gently squeeze your muscles, improving blood flow and potentially speeding up recovery. The study will compare IPC to a placebo, which is a treatment that looks real but doesn’t have any active effect. Healthy college students will exercise using a flywheel, which is a piece of exercise equipment, and then recover using either IPC or the placebo. They will undergo performance tests before the exercise, right after, and 24 and 48 hours later to see how well they recover.
- Participants should exercise more than 3 times a week and be between 18-27 years old.
- Those with recent injuries or who are inactive cannot participate.
- Participants will be observed over a few days with multiple tests.
