- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Peak isokinetic torque (assessed using a HUMAC Norm Isokentic Dynamometer)[ immediately post exercise, 1 hour post exercise (immediately after the recovery protocol), 24 hours post exercise, 48 hours post exercise, and 72 hours post exercise];Time to peak torque (assessed using a HUMAC Norm Isokentic Dynamometer)[ immediately post exercise, 1 hour post exercise (immediately after the recovery protocol), 24 hours post exercise, 48 hours post exercise, and 72 hours post exercise];Countermovement jump height (assessed using a Vertec vertical jump system)[ immediately post exercise, 1 hour post exercise (immediately after the recovery protocol), 24 hours post exercise, 48 hours post exercise, and 72 hours post exercise.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The perceived recovery status (PRS) scale measures the participants' perceived recovery (0 = very poorly recovered, 10 = very well recovered)[ Immediately post exercise, 1 hour post exercise (immediately after the recovery protocol), 24 hours post exercise, 48 hours post exercise, and 72 hours post exercise];Measures of muscle soreness will be obtained using an adapted Visual analog scale (VAS) (0 = nothing at all, 10 = extremely high)[ Immediately post exercise, 1 hour post exercise (immediately after the recovery protocol), 24 hours post exercise, 48 hours post exercise, and 72 hours post exercise]
