Age
18 Years to 35 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Men aged between 18 and 35 years; classified as physically active according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) classification; who do not perform regular jumping training; who have not used Intermittent Pneumatic Compression prior to this research

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Subjects with musculoskeletal injuries or lower limb surgeries within a period of nine months prior to the tests; with an inflammatory rheumatological condition or severe cardiovascular and/or pulmonary disease that prevents them from performing the proposed assessment and tests; with any condition that is contraindicated for performing maximum strength tests

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Muscle Pain will be assessed using a 100mm visual analogue scale. Muscle pain will be assessed at all assessment times, and a difference of at least 20% is expected to be considered a clinically relevant change

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Neuromuscular performance will be assessed using isokinetic and isometric tests, performed on the Biodex Multi-Joint System 3 isokinetic dynamometer. The isometric performance of knee extensors will be assessed, with the knee flexed at 60º, and the isokinetic performance of knee flexion-extension at a speed of 60º/s;Functional Performance will be assessed using the single-leg vertical jump test with countermovement. Each volunteer will perform a total of three jumps with each limb, and the average of the values ??will be analyzed;Perceived Fatigue will be assessed using a visual analogue scale at all assessment times;The level of Perception of Recovery will be assessed using the total quality of recovery scale, only in the assessments 24 and 48 hours after the intervention;The Global Perception of the Effect of Treatment will be assessed in the last evaluation, using a five-point Likert scale;Biochemical markers of muscle damage will be assessed through serum creatine kinase levels. 5 ml of venous blood will be collected at each assessment time for analysis
