The Effects of Recovery Compression Boots on Blood Lactate Levels, Functional Movement, and Joint Ange of Motion in Collegiate Athletes.
Sponsor: University of Redlands
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.
