NCT ID NCT07333404

First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looks at two recovery methods—pneumatic compression (squeezing the legs) and transcranial direct current stimulation (a mild brain current)—to see if they help male runners aged 40-55 recover after a 10K run. Each participant will try all combinations (tDCS, PC, both, or none) in random order, with a week between sessions. The goal is to measure how these methods affect muscle function, heart rate, and thinking, not to treat any disease.
