Intervention model: CROSSOVER
Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: The main objective of this project is to compare the effectiveness of combining different recovery methods on perceptual and physical performance on soccer players.

Detailed description: A crossover study will be performed and players will be assigned to different recovery methods combinations after their participation in a football game. The investigators will take baseline measures before the game and post-competition measures 24 hours after the game (one hour before the recovery intervention). Moreover, another two measure moments will be used, 24 and 48 hours after the recovery intervention.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* semi-professional soccer players
* 75 minutes game participation (minimum)
* 5 years of experience practicing soccer

Exclusion Criteria:

* goalkeepers
* injured players

Primary outcomes:
measure: Neuromuscular or physical performance measures change: jump height
timeFrame: Baseline, 1 hour before intervention, 24 hours after intervention, 48 hours after intervention
measure: Neuromuscular or physical performance measures change: jump flight and contact time
timeFrame: Baseline, 1 hour before intervention, 24 hours after intervention, 48 hours after intervention
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Subjective perceptual/well-being questionnaire measures change
timeFrame: Baseline, 1 hour before intervention, 24 hours after intervention, 48 hours after intervention
measure: Total Quality Recovery perceived (TQRper) scale. Subjective perceptual questionnaire measures change
timeFrame: Baseline, 1 hour before intervention, 24 hours after intervention, 48 hours after intervention
measure: Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale. Subjective perceptual questionnaire measures change
timeFrame: Baseline, 1 hour before intervention, 24 hours after intervention, 48 hours after intervention
