Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of intermittent vascular occlusion (IVO) on recovery following simulated soccer physical demand test in soccer players. Twelve soccer players completed the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST) in two conditions placebo (PLA) and IVO followed by intermittent lower limb occlusion. Physical performance (Squat jump: SJ, countermovement jump: CMJ, maximal voluntary contraction: MVC, and 20 meters sprint: SP), muscle damage parameters (creatine kinase: CK, Lactate dehydrogenase: LDH), inflammatory parameter (C-reactive protein: CRP) and perceived muscle soreness (DOMS) were assessed before, immediately after (0h), and 24h, 48h and 72h following the exercise. Following the LIST, a decrease was observed in all Physical performance within 48h in PLA condition (p<0.05),compared to PLA treatment, IVO treatment attenuated the decrease of SJ and CMJ at 24h and at 48hand for MVC and SP within 48h after the LIST (p<0.05). CK and LDH levels increased within 24h post exercise in both conditions (p<0.05), but with a lower level in IVO compared to PLA condition (p<0.05). Likewise, DOMS values were significantly lower with IVO condition compared to PLA condition immediately and at 24hafter exercise. The resu...
