Summary

Recovery is a crucial aspect of soccer training. It has been investigated scientifically, but some unclear aspects remain regarding the optimal strategy. Recovery from maximal effort involves both physical and psychological/perceptual aspects (pain, sleep quality), and the definition of recovery is often misleading due to the subjective and objective factors involved. This is a randomized control trial comparing dry needling (DN) to ice packing (ICE) in the acute recovery after an exhaustion running trial in thirty-nine semi-professional soccer players compared to controls. The subjects were assessed before and after the exhaustion tests for sleep, pain perception (Pressure Pain Threshold, PPT), Counter Movement Jump (CMJ), and Surface Muscle Temperature (SMT). We tested 39 semi pro soccer players (males and females).
