This study aims to assess the recovery kinetics following an exercise-induced muscle damage activity (using flywheel) on active healthy university students. The main questions are: \- Is intermittent pneumatic compression superior to a placebo recovering from EIMD? Participants will perform a fatiguing protocol using flywheel and recover with either intermittent pneumatic compression or with a placebo treatment (micro-current treatment, but the device turned off). They will perform several performance tests before, following the recovery period, and at the 24h and 48h following the intervention

Maximal voluntary contraction (knee extension)
Timeframe: 10 minutes before the fatigue protocol, following the recovery protocol (30 minutes post), 24 hours and 48 hours post intervention
Countermovement jump
Timeframe: 10 minutes before the fatigue protocol, following the recovery protocol (30 minutes post), 24 hours and 48 hours post intervention
Broad Jump
Timeframe: 10 minutes before the fatigue protocol, following the recovery protocol (30 minutes post), 24 hours and 48 hours post intervention
Soreness scale
Timeframe: 10 minutes before the fatigue protocol, following the recovery protocol (30 minutes post), 24 hours and 48 hours post intervention
