AB  - Despite substantial evidence of the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic 
      compression (IPC) treatments for range of motion (ROM) improvement, little 
      evidence is available regarding how different IPC stimuli affect ankle 
      dorsiflexion (DF) ROM. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different 
      IPC stimuli on the ankle DF ROM. Fourteen, university intermittent team sport 
      male athletes (age: 21 +/- 1 year, height: 1.74 +/- 0.05 m, body mass: 70.9 +/- 7.7 kg, 
      body fat percentage: 14.2 +/- 3.6%, body mass index: 23.5 +/- 2.5 kg/m(2); mean +/- 
      standard deviation) completed four experimental trials in a random order: 1) no 
      compression with wearing IPC devices (SHAM), 2) the sequential compression at 
      approximately 80 mmHg (SQUEE80), 3) the uniform compression at approximately 
      80 mmHg (BOOST80), and 4) the uniform compression at approximately 135 mmHg 
      (BOOST135). For the experimental trials, the participants were initially at rest 
      for 10 min and then assigned to either a 30-min SHAM, SQUEE80, BOOST80, or 
      BOOST135. Participants rested for 20 min after IPC treatment. The Weight-Bearing 
      Lunge Test (WBLT), popliteal artery blood flow, pressure-to-pain threshold (PPT), 
      muscle hardness, heart rate variability, and perceived relaxation were measured 
      before (Pre) and immediately after IPC treatment (Post-0) and 20 min after IPC 
      treatment (Post-20), and the changes in all variables from Pre (Delta) were 
      calculated. DeltaWBLT performance, DeltaPPT, and Deltaperceived relaxation in all IPC 
      treatments were significantly higher than those in SHAM at Post-0 and Post-20 (p 
      < 0.05). DeltaPopliteal artery blood flow in BOOST80 and BOOST135 was significantly 
      higher than that in SHAM and SQUEE80 at Post-0 (p < 0.05). DeltaMuscle hardness and 
      Deltaheart rate variability did not differ significantly between trials. In 
      conclusion, IPC treatments, irrespective of applied pressure and mode of 
      compression, increased ankle DF ROM. This resulted from decreased pain 
      sensitivity (i.e., increased PPT). In addition, high inflation pressure and 
      frequency did not provide additional benefits in increasing ankle DF ROM.
