“…CS was shown to have a positive effect on venous return and to increase the velocity of blood flow in both superficial and deep veins (O'Donnell et al 1979;Ramelet 2002). Because the main fate of lactate during recovery is oxidation (Brooks 2000;Donovan and Pagliassotti 2000), an improved venous return may favour the distribution of lactate to the consuming sites of lactate and consequently may improve the lactate removal ability.…”

This study aimed to investigate if wearing compression stockings (CS) during exercise and recovery could affect lactate profile in sportsmen. Eight young healthy trained male subjects performed two maximal exercise tests on a cycle ergometer on two different occasions performed randomly: CS during both exercise and recovery, and no CS. Blood lactate concentration was taken during exercise and at 0, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 min post-exercise. The individual blood lactate recovery curves were fitted to a biexponential time function: La(t) = La(0) + A1(1 - e(-gamma1t)) + A2(1 - e(-gamma2t)), where gamma(1) and gamma(2) denote the abilities to exchange lactate between the previously active muscles and the blood and to remove lactate from the organism, respectively. A significantly higher blood lactate value at the end of the maximal exercise was found (12.1 +/- 0.5 vs. 10.8 +/- 0.5 mmol l(-1)) wearing CS as compared to no CS (P < 0.05). Lower gamma(1) and higher gamma(2) values were observed with CS during recovery, as compared to no CS. It was concluded that CS during graded exercise leads to a significant higher blood lactate value at exhaustion. Since lactate exchanges were expected to be decreased during exercise due to CS, this result was likely attributable to a higher lactate accumulation related to a greater overall contribution of anaerobic glycolysis. Although the lactate removal ability was significantly improved when wearing CS during recovery, its efficacy in promoting blood lactate clearance after high-intensity exercise is limited.

“…According to the Laplace law the pressure achieved by the bandage is in direct proportion to the bandage tension during the application and the number of layers applied but inversely proportional to the radius of the limb (Ramelet, 2002). Studies show that a compressing stocking with external pressure up to 40 mm Hg shows best effect (Cullum, 2002;O'Meara et al, 2012).…”

“…Compression can be calculated by Laplace's law, which states that the pressure is directly proportional to the bandage tension during application and the number of layers applied but inversely proportional to limb radius. 62 The structure of a compression bandage is, therefore, regarded as an important factor in producing a uniform pressure distribution. An ideal compression bandage should:…”
