Effects of lower-limb intermittent pneumatic compression on sports recovery: A systematic review and meta-analysis by Filipe Maia, Fábio Yuzo Nakamura, Hugo Sarmento, Rui Marcelino, João Ribeiro

“…Results indicate a trivial to small benefit towards lower-limb IPC in enhancing muscular function, as well as a trivial to moderate effect for pain and soreness measurements, and a highly variable effect on muscle damage markers. Moreover, protocols of about 20 to 30 minutes and pressures of about 80 mmHg appear to be the most used option to optimize recovery. …”
