(2010) ABSTRACT (UK)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of under-knee compression stockings of two different brands on sub maximal running performance in men runners. Using a withingroup study design, 6 moderately trained healthy athletes (31.0 ± 6.8 years) without lower-leg abnormities were randomly assigned to perform a treadmill test over 5km at 85% of their individual personal best time over 5000m of the last season with two different stockings (NIKE, SKINS) and without any stocking (Control). METHODS: Every subject had to perform the same running test at their own same running speed on three different testing days at the same day time at each day. Between every testing moment, participants added up 48 hours of recovery in daily routine. For every subject, first test was performed without stockings. The sequence of the following two performances was randomly selected. After standardised warm-up protocol, baseline lactate values (mmol·L -1 ) and heart rate (bpm) were determined. Additionally heart rate and perceived exertion were observed every 1000m. Lactate at end and after 2 min recovery, heart rate after 30sec, 60sec and 120sec of recovery, were also measured. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were found for heart rate, except heart frequency at 1km (162.67 ± 5.85 (Control) vs. 159.33 ± 5.78 (NIKE) and 159.67 ± 8.57 (SKINS); p<0.05 (p=0.032)), blood lactate and BORG scale. Humidity (%) (37.73 ± 0.69 (Control) vs. 37.50 ± 0.67 (NIKE) and 37.02 ± 0.86 (SKINS)). CONCLUSION: No changes in heart rate, lactate values and perceived exertion were noted when wearing compression stockings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
