Abstract

Purpose:The present study aims to evaluate the effects of intermittent sequential pneumatic compression (ISPC) in the short-term recovery of a repeated sprint interval exercise, including the assessment of power output performance, hematocrit, legs water, and perceptual recovery. Methods:A randomized, counterbalanced, crossover design was conducted. Sixteen healthy trained individuals (F=7, M=9; 27.7 ± 9.4 years; BMI 22.3 ± 2.9) performed two trials of a cycling fatiguing exercise, followed by a recovery phase (ISPC or Sham), and a subsequent performance assessment exercise to evaluate the effects of ISPC in post-exercise recovery. Results:There were no significant differences in cycling performance comparing both recovery modes. However, the decrease in the hematocrit levels after the recovery phase was less exacerbated in the ISPC condition compared to Sham (44.03 ± 1.33 vs. 42.38 ± 1.33 %; p = 0.047; d = 0.310). Likewise, the total quality recovery (TQR) was higher after the recovery in the ISPC condition (15.94 ± 0.16 vs. 14.75 ± 0.12 points; p = 0.045; d = 2.125), although no differences were shown previously in power output performance (371.8 ± 22.2 [46.5] vs. 372.4 ± 21.8 [47.2] W; p = 0.986) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) (17.69 ± 0.41 vs. 17.56 ± 0.31; p = 0.700). Conclusions:Contrary to our hypothesis, the application of intermittent sequential pneumatic compression after high-intensity exercise reduces the post-exercise hemodilution response and increases perceptual recovery. However, power output was similar between conditions, challenging the effectiveness of this recovery method in a short-term intervention.
