Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.

About this study
The purpose of the current study is to examine the effects of sleep deprivation on heart rate variability and markers of stress (physiological and psychological) in active-duty firefighters in an ambulatory setting. Firefighters will be randomly assigned to one of three interventions: 1) Electrical stimulation (E-stim); 2) Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC); or 3) Control (CON) for a two-week period. Firefighters will be instructed to utilize the recovery device according to manufacturer recommendations on a daily basis over a 14-day period. Daily measurements of total sleep, sleep efficiency, heart rate variability, and soreness will be assessed each day. Following each two-week intervention period, there will be a one-week washout, and then firefighters will repeat the same process undergoing the remaining interventions until they have completed all three conditions.
