Effects of Passive Recovery Methods After High-Intensity Cycling Exercise (RECOVER-CYCLE)
7 août 2026 mis à jour par: UMMUHAN BAS ASLAN, Pamukkale University
Acute Effects of Five Passive Recovery Interventions Following High-Intensity Cycling Exercise: A Randomized Five-Period Crossover Trial
This randomized crossover trial will investigate the acute effects of five passive recovery interventions following a standardized high-intensity cycling exercise protocol.
Participants will complete the standardized high-intensity cycling exercise protocol during five separate study sessions.
Immediately after each exercise session, participants will receive one of five recovery interventions: compression therapy, vacuum therapy, kinesiology taping, passive rest, or classical massage.
The order of the interventions will be randomized according to a balanced crossover sequence.
Each participant will experience all five recovery interventions during the study period.
Outcomes related to post-exercise recovery will be assessed across intervention periods.

Description détaillée
This study is designed as a randomized, five-period, five-treatment crossover trial. All participants will complete a standardized high-intensity cycling exercise protocol during five separate study sessions. Following each cycling session, participants will receive one passive recovery intervention. The five recovery interventions are compression therapy, vacuum therapy, kinesiology taping, passive rest, and classical massage.
Participants will be randomized to one of five intervention sequences to balance the order of recovery interventions across the study period. Each intervention will be administered once to each participant, and all participants will receive all five interventions. The crossover design allows each participant to serve as his or her own control when comparing the acute effects of the recovery interventions.
