Summary

This study will test five different passive recovery methods—compression therapy, vacuum therapy, kinesiology taping, passive rest, and classical massage—after a high-intensity cycling workout. Ten healthy young women will try each method once a week for five weeks. The goal is to see which approach helps them feel most recovered.
