“…Interestingly, in these studies the compression sleeve was worn for 72 or 120 h following damaging exercise, while there are studies reporting effective results wearing compression stockings by only 12 h following lower limb damaging exercises. 9,10,17 It is important to note that the post-exercise recovery strategies should not only be effective, but also promote treatment adhesion, which involves the treatment time necessary to achieve effective results. Notwithstanding, treatment periods of 72 h or more seem to be long, while treatments for short periods, as 12 h, may improve the treatment adhesion, but, to our knowledge, there are no studies that have investigated the efficacy of compression sleeve worn for short-time periods, as 12 h, on recovery from the symptoms of EIMD from upper arm muscles.…”

Objective: To assess the efficacy of a compression sleeve worn for a short-time period (12 h) on the recovery from the symptoms of exercise-induced upper arm muscle damage. Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted on thirteen healthy young men using a standardized and exercise-induced upper arm muscle damage protocol, and they were immediately placed into two groups: TREATED (n = 7) and CONTROL (n = 6). Isometric elbow flexion strength, upper arm circumference, and muscle soreness measurements were taken before and at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after the damaging exercise, and were used as criteria of exercise-induced muscle damage. Group comparisons were made for each variable using a two-way ANOVA design (2 groups × 5 measurements), and with a significance level of P < 0.05. Results: A significant impairment (P < 0.001) was observed in muscle strength (∼43% and ∼34%, for CONTROL and TREATED groups, respectively, 24 h after exercise), as well as a significant increase (P < 0.001) in upper arm circumference (UAC) and muscle soreness (F 4,55 = 6.49 for UAC and F 4,55 = 6.95 for muscle soreness) among the measurements after exercise for both groups, with no significant differences between them. Conclusions: These results, together with previous findings, suggest that the use of a compression garment for 12 h is not enough to improve the recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage in the upper arm, and longer periods of compression may be necessary to achieve positive outcomes. © 2014 Consell Català de l'Esport.

Métodos: En un estudio aleatorizado controlado, 13 hombres jóvenes sanos realizaron un protocolo de ejercicio estandarizado para inducir daño muscular para los flexores del codo y se dividieron inmediatamente en 2 grupos: tratados (n = 7) y control (n = 6). Se tomaron medidas de la fuerza isométrica de flexión del codo, la circunferencia del brazo (CB) y la percepción del dolor muscular antes y 24, 48, 72 y 96 h después del ejercicio, y se utilizaron como criterios de daño muscular inducido por el ejercicio. Comparaciones entre grupos se hicieron para cada variable con un ANOVA de 2 vías (2 grupos × 5 medidas) y con un nivel de significación de p < 0,05. Resultados: Se observó una reducción significativa (p < 0,001) de la fuerza muscular (∼43% y ∼34% para el grupo control y tratados, respectivamente, 24 h después del ejercicio) y un aumento significativo (p < 0,00...

“…Wenden wir uns dem subjektiven Ermüdungsgrad und deren Veränderungen unter der Einwirkung von Kompressionsbekleidung zu, so sehen wir zwei geteilte Meinungen der Studien. Eine Vielzahl der Studien zeigt keine Unterschiede der Schmerzskala VAS (visual analog scale) oder der Skala für subjektive Ermüdung RPE (rating of perceived exertion) zwischen den Untersuchungsgruppen, während oder nach verschiedenen sportlichen Aktivitäten [2,7,10,15,16]. Dem entgegen zeigen andere Studien, geringere Wertungen der RPE für die Kompressionsgruppe im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe, bei exzentrischer Muskelarbeit oder während der Erholungsphase nach körperlicher Aktivitäten [5,6,9].…”

(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.

The Effects of Contrast Bathing and Compression Therapy on Muscular Performance

Abstract: No hierarchy of recovery effects was found. Neither contrast bathing nor compression acted to promote acute recovery from EIMD any more effectively than passive conditions, although contrast bathing may transiently attenuate postexercise soreness.
