“…Compression garments are used in athletics and fitness activities because of their style, reducing chaffing, preventing injuries, and enhancing performance [2]. Compression garments are also used for medical purposes such as therapy for scald management [3] and healing treatment for the patients with reduced venous function [4]. The compression garments provide the wearer with the enhanced blood flow, better muscle oxygenation, reduced fatigue, faster recovery, reduced muscle oscillation and reduced muscle injury [1].…”

This paper discusses the influence of the production parameters on the moisture related comfort characteristics of the compression garments that differ according to the tension applied during the production and elastane count. Correlation analysis, two sided independent t-test analysis and ANOVA tests were applied to analyze the relationship between the production parameters and comfort characteristics which are absorption, vertical and transfer wicking and drying. It was found that tension and elastane composition affect the comfort characteristics by changing the porosity, thickness and the pathways within the fabric.

“…External mechanical compression such as that exerted by GCSs elevates tissue pressure, which increases vessel relaxation via a myogenic response (Perrey, 2008). As a result, external mechanical compression increases venous outflow and arterial inflow.…”

“…As a result, external mechanical compression increases venous outflow and arterial inflow. Local muscle blood flow following causal chain is improved, which leads to increased tissue oxygenation (Perrey, 2008). Blood flow during dynamic exercise is determined by the balance between vasoconstriction and vasodilation, which is commonly referred to as functional sympatholysis (Hansen et al, 2000).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effect of brisk walking with and without graduated compression stockings (GCSs) on vascular endothelial function and oxidative stress. Ten young healthy subjects walked briskly for 30 min with (GCS trial) and without (CON trial) GCSs in a randomized crossover trial. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was measured as the per cent rise in the peak diameter from the baseline value at prior occlusion at each FMD measurement using B-mode ultrasonography before and 30 min after walking in the two trials. Derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROM), as an index of products of reactive oxygen species, and biological anti-oxidant potential (BAP), as an index of anti-oxidant potential, were also measured using a free radical elective evaluator before and 30 min after walking in both trials. FMD significantly decreased after brisk walking in both trials (P<0·05). However, FMD after brisk walking in the GCS trial was significantly higher than that in the CON trial (P<0·05). The d-ROM did not change before and after both trials, whereas the BAP significantly increased after walking in the GCS trial (P<0·05). These findings demonstrate that brisk walking while wearing GCSs suppresses the decrease in FMD and increases BAP.

“…Its interest in recovery is justified by its compressive weaving which, by applying a positive pressure around the muscle, modifies the haemodynamic [improvement of venous return (Bringard et al 2007) and microcirculation (Perrey 2008)]. Indeed, the improvement of venous return accelerates the elimination of the metabolites from the muscular exercise (Ahmaidi et al 1996) and the phosphocreatine resynthesis is accelerated by the improvement of circulation (Bogdanis et al 1996).…”
