Compression Boots for Athletic Recovery
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
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.
