The aim of this randomized crossover trial is to assess the hemodynamic effects caused by the use of 2 distinct intermittent pneumatic compression protocols on athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does intermittent pneumatic compression enhance athletes blood flow? * If yes, what pressure is better to cause this enhancement?

Arterial Diameter
Timeframe: 2 minutes before the IPC protocol, during (8th minute mark), and 2 minutes after the conclusion of the 15 minute protocol.
End-diastolic peak velocity
Timeframe: 2 minutes before the IPC protocol, during (8th minute mark - at different phases of the IPC cycle), and 2 minutes after the conclusion of the 15 minute protocol.
Systolic peak velocity
Timeframe: 2 minutes before the IPC protocol, during (8th minute mark - at different phases of the IPC cycle), and 2 minutes after the conclusion of the 15 minute protocol.
