An interventional study of control and graduated compression socks in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, sponsored by Firstkind Ltd. Completed at 1 site in United Kingdom. Open to male participants aged 20 Years to 22 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-06-26.

Numerous techniques are reported to enhance recovery following intense exercise, however there is equivocal support for such claims. A novel technique of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) via the peroneal nerve has been shown to augment limb blood flow which could enhance recovery following exercise. The present study examined the effects of NMES, compared to graduated compression socks on muscle soreness, strength, and markers of muscle damage and inflammation following intense intermittent exercise.

Exclusion Criteria:
All participants performed a modified version of the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST; Nicholas et al, 2000), an exercise protocol designed to simulate the activity pattern characteristics of intermittent sports such as soccer. The LIST was performed on three occasions, at the same time of day, each separated by approximately four weeks. Following each exercise trial, one of three recovery interventions were applied, the order of which were randomly allocated.
