Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To investigate the effectiveness of BCPI in muscle pain in runners measured using the Numerical Analogue Scale (VAS). Data will be collected at baseline, pre-intervention, post-intervention, and after 24, 48, and 72 hours. A reduction in muscle pain is expected after 24, 48 and 72 hours	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To examine the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression boots on 400-meter sprint speed. Data will be collected at baseline, pre-intervention, post-intervention, and after 48 hours. A return to baseline values ??is expected after 48 hours ;To examine the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression boots on triceps surae muscle torque using an eletronic handheld dynamometer. Data will be collected at baseline, pre-intervention, post-intervention, and after 48 hours. A return to baseline values ??is expected after 48 hours;To examine the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression boots on single leg triple jump distance. Data will be collected at baseline, pre-intervention, post-intervention, and after 48 hours. A return to baseline values ??is expected after 48 hours	—
