Effect of Pressure on Skin Temperature When Using a Cryocompression Device

A cryocompression device will be attached to the lower limb of participants using a cuff spanning from the mid-thigh to mid-calf. The device will circulate ice-water at a constant temperature of 8℃ throughout each test session. Depending on the condition, the cuff will also apply varying levels of pressure for the duration of each test. Each test session will last for 30 minutes. Participants will take part in all conditions, with at least 24 hours rest in between test sessions. Skin temperature around the knee will be measured prior to the cryocompression device being applied; every 5 minutes during the 30 minute test; and every 5 minutes after the test until skin temperature \>15℃.
