“…Compression stockings used before exercise, during exercise and after exercise were showed not to have an effect on blood lactate levels and not to have developed the recovery strength in the first 30 min ( Duffield et al, 2008 ; Duffield et al, 2010 ; Maton et al, 2006 ). In the studies evaluating the effects of the use of compression stockings on muscle fatigue and muscle concentric strength, compression stockings were found to alleviate the decrease in concentric strength and muscle fatigue compared to control group ( Ali et al, 2007 ; Duffield and Portus, 2007 ; Jakeman et al, 2010 ; Perrey et al, 2008 ). In our study, we used compression stockings with a pressure capacity of 30 mmHg at the level of ankle, and compression stockings with a pressure capacity of 20 mmHg whose intensity gradually decreases up to the knee, even if we did not observed a significant strength increase in females compared to control group, we found a significant increase in LPF strength parameters of males.…”

In this study, we explained the effects of compression garment and electrostimulation on athletes’ recovery period by evaluating blood lactate and isokinetic peak torque parameters. Twenty volunteers (15.55± 0.51 yr) were included to study. At recovery period, blood samples was taken for lactate values at 0th, 3rd, 5th, 15th, 30th min. The isokinetic strength test was performed on right ankle at 15th min and on the left ankle at 30th min. The same protocol was performed for compression garment on 2 weeks and for electrostimulation on third weeks and results were compared. There wasn’t any significant difference on blood lactate levels within groups. At women; there was not any significant difference on isokinetic peak torques within two groups. but at electro-stimulation usage we found significant increases on right plantar flexion (P<0.1), right dorsal flexion (RDF) (P<0.1) and left plantar flexion (LPF) (P<0.1) values compared to control measurements. At men; with compression garment usage, there was significant increase on LPF values compared to control measurements. At electrostimulation usage, we found significant increases on RDF (P<0.1) and left dorsal flexion (P<0.1) values compared to control measurements. During recovery, there is not any beneficial effect seen on blood lactate level within two groups. When compared to passive rest, compression garments and electrostimulation interventions effects on force generation capacity at recovery are statically significant. Also in terms of force generation capacity; usage of electrostimulation during 15 min and compression garments during 30 min were statically more significant.

“…17 An investigation into the potential effect of using compression socks on the rate of recovery and performance is warranted. Previous research investigating the benefits of compression socks on DOMS has found decreases in functional or performance tests 14,37,40 following a muscle damage inducing exercise with some benefit of compression garments. In addition, some studies have reported that there has been no decrease in functional performance following the muscle damaging exercise 41 or conflicting results.…”

“…Compression socks have been reported to provide relief from exercise-induced muscle damage and to promote a faster recovery, 9,10 particularly when the sock is worn during the recovery phase. 30 In addition, several studies 14,17,31,32 have shown the potential for compression garments to either reduce perceived pain or facilitate recovery. The results of the Hike Trial support these findings, namely, that participants wearing compression socks reported significantly lower scores for DOMS compared to participants wearing socks offering no compression (NoCo).…”

“…Whether the application of compression socks for shorter periods would have the same effect cannot be discerned from the present study. Several studies 31 have used similar durations of post-exercise application of compression socks as in the present study, but some also used extended periods. 14 Kraemer et al 14 found that wearing a compressive sleeve for 5 days following eccentric exercise maintained elbow ROM and decreased the participants' subjective rating of pain.…”

“…14 Kraemer et al 14 found that wearing a compressive sleeve for 5 days following eccentric exercise maintained elbow ROM and decreased the participants' subjective rating of pain. Perrey et al 31 reported that compression garments worn for 72 h after a 30 min backward downhill walk alleviated DOMS pain in the triceps surae by day 3 compared to the condition where no compression garment was worn. They speculated that there is a local effect of tissue compression and a reduction of structural damage, which allows recovery of force production at a faster rate than without the compression garment.…”

A series of studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that compression socks (uniform or graduated compression) worn after exercise mitigate exercise-induced pain. Fifty-nine (59) participants took part in three separate exercise protocols to induce a degree of muscle soreness from low to severe. Participants wore either ankle height socks with no compression (NoCo), knee height socks with uniform (UNI) or graduated compression (GRAD) for 8 h/day following exercise. Before, immediately after and during recovery, we measured muscle strength, flexibility and the perception of pain. The three exercise protocols were as follows. (1) Hike: compared the effects of GRAD and NoCo socks following a 10-km treadmill hike with a 1000 m ascent and descent. (2) Trail Run: compared the effect of GRAD and UNI following a 14-km trail run with 250 m ascent and descent. (3) Calf Exercise: compared the effect of GRAD and UNI socks with a predominately eccentric calf exercise. GRAD socks significantly mitigated the perception of calf pain compared to NoCo (Hike). The UNI socks were superior to the GRAD socks in mitigating the perception of pain during recovery in the Trail Run. No statistical difference was noted between UNI and GRAD socks after the Calf Exercise. Compression socks mitigated the perception of calf muscle pain (Hike trial), with UNI providing more benefit compared to GRAD socks (Trail Run trial). No differences between the UNI and GRAD socks were observed in the Calf Exercise trial. Compression socks aid in the perception of recovery following low to moderate pain from delayed onset muscle soreness.

Putting the Squeeze on Compression Garments: Current Evidence and Recommendations for Future Research: A Systematic Scoping Review

Background Compression garments are regularly worn during exercise to improve physical performance, mitigate fatigue responses, and enhance recovery. However, evidence for their efficacy is varied and the methodological approaches and outcome measures used within the scientific literature are diverse. Objectives The aim of this scoping review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the effects of compression garments on commonly assessed outcome measures in response to exercise, including: performance, biomechanical, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, muscle damage, thermoregulatory, and perceptual responses. Methods A systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science and CINAHL Complete) was performed from the earliest record to 27 December, 2020. Results In total, 183 studies were identified for qualitative analysis with the following breakdown: performance and muscle function outcomes: 115 studies (63%), biomechanical and neuromuscular: 59 (32%), blood and saliva markers: 85 (46%), cardiovascular: 76 (42%), cardiorespiratory: 39 (21%), thermoregulatory: 19 (10%) and perceptual: 98 (54%). Approximately 85% (n = 156) of studies were published between 2010 and 2020. Conclusions Evidence is equivocal as to whether garments improve physical performance, with little evidence supporting improvements in kinetic or kinematic outcomes. Compression likely reduces muscle oscillatory properties and has a positive effect on sensorimotor systems. Findings suggest potential increases in arterial blood flow; however, it is unlikely that compression garments meaningfully change metabolic responses, blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiorespiratory measures. Compression garments increase localised skin temperature and may reduce perceptions of muscle soreness and pain following exercise; however, rating of perceived exertion during exercise is likely unchanged. It is unlikely that compression garments negatively influence exercise-related outcomes. Future research should assess wearer belief in compression garments, report pressure ranges at multiple sites as well as garment material, and finally examine individual responses and varying compression coverage areas.
