Recovery and Physiology
What is DOMS
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
What device was used to induce eccentric damage in the cryocompression study?
Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer.
Did compression garments restore jump height to baseline within 1 hour?
No, jump height did not fully recover within 1 hour.
How many participants were in the compression garment study?
(6 men, 6 women)
The compression garment study had how many participants?
Only 12 (
What physiological mechanism did compression garments help accelerate after fatigue?
Muscle oxygen reuptake (reoxygenation).
What device measured muscle oxygenation in the compression garment study?
Hint: Theres 2 names
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (MOXY Monitor)
Which intervention reduced swelling after eccentric damage?
normothermic water compression, and cryocompression
What type of study design was used in the cryocompression study?
Between-subjects, repeated measures with 4 groups (cryotherapy, cryocompression, normothermic water compression, control).
What was a key limitation of the cryocompression study’s participant pool?
Only healthy young men were included (no females).
Which article showed improved mediolateral balance recovery?
Compression garment article
Which test measured balance in the compression garment study?
Center of Pressure displacement on a force plate.
Which article found faster reoxygenation rates with the intervention?
Compression garment article.
The compression garment study used what type of design to reduce variability?
Randomized crossover design.
Which recovery method would be more applicable for in-game fatigue (e.g., halftime in basketball)?
Compression garments.
Which recovery method would be more applicable for post-training muscle damage
Cryocompression.
List three devices unique to the cryocompression study but not the compression garment study.
Electromyography (EMG), measuring tape (thigh circumference), 30 m hop test setup.
Which intervention showed reduced muscle soreness over multiple days?
Cryocompression group (significantly less soreness vs control, days 1–4).
What was the main difference in recovery timeframes studied between the two articles?
Compression garment study = short-term (1 hour).
Cryocompression study = multi-day (1–5 days).
Which recovery method would be more applicable for post-training muscle damage (e.g., eccentric strength session)?
Cryocompression.
