Can Lower-body Occlusion Influence Sports Recovery?

April 2, 2025 updated by: Filipe Silvano Pinto Maia, University of Maia

Can Lower-body Occlusion During Low-intersity Cycling Influence Recovery of Youth Elite Soccer Players?

This study ai ms to compare the recovery kinetics of different interventions: i) active recovery; ii) continuous vascular occlusion during active recovery; iii) intermittent vascular occlusion during active recovery; iv) control group.
