Pressurice Compressport, which is a simple tool, non-pharmacological and free of side effects that allows the application of compressive cryotherapy (CC). Objective: To investigate the chronic effect of Pressurice Compressport, after each match and training session, on the markers of muscle damage, muscle strength and fatigue. Methods: A prospective cohort design. In 24 male basketball players divided into two groups, recovery (RP) (n=12) and control (GC) (n=12). Serum markers of muscle metabolism, quadriceps strength (FC) and perceived effort values (RPE) by Borg CR10 scale were measured at 3 times in the study: a) day 1, (T1); b) day 28 (T2) and c) day 56 (T3). The CC was applied immediately after each match and training. Results: A progressive decrease in all markers of muscle damage was observed at the end of the pre-season in the RP group. On the contrary, in the GC they increased significantly for creatine kinase (CK) (T1 vs. T3 p<0.05). The time course of myoglobin (Mb) in the RP group (p>0.05) followed a pattern different from that of GC (p<0.05). In RP, the RPE significantly decreased (p<0.05) in all points of the study. The HR was higher in the RPE than in the GC, in addition gains were obtained throughout the pre-season in RPE and a decrease in GC. Conclusion: CC is potentially capable of promoting recovery from muscle damage associated with competition and training, with reductions in markers of muscle damage, improvements in muscle strength and significant decrease in RPE.
