“…Indeed, wearing a below-knee CG improved position sense in an active joint repositioning task [5]. Wearing an above-knee CG also decreased muscle oscillation in the sagittal plane during a countermovement jump test (CMJ) [32] and increased mean power output during 10 repeated vertical jumps performed by volleyball players [33]. Nevertheless, wearing an above-knee, whole leg, or a below-knee CG did not improve maximal muscular strength, jump performance, subjective feelings, and thigh/calf circumferences [34].…”

An above-knee compression garment does not improve passive knee joint position sense in healthy adults

We determined the effects of wearing an above-knee compression garment (CG) on knee joint position sense. Healthy young adults (n = 24, age = 27.46 ± 4.65 years) performed a passive knee position-matching task on an isokinetic dynamometer with each leg separately. We determined the magnitude of compression by measuring anatomical thigh cross sectional area (CSA) in standing using magnetic resonance imaging. Wearing the CG compressed CSA by 2% (t = 2.91, p = 0.010, Cohen’s d = 0.68). Repeated measures ANOVA (rANOVA) with three repetition factors (condition: CG, no CG; leg: right dominant, left non-dominant; and target angles: 30°, 45°, 60°) revealed an effect of angles (p < 0.001), where the matching of knee joint position was more accurate at 60° compared to 30° and 45° (p < 0.001). However, CG did not reduce passive joint position sense errors. In fact, joint position error was less without CG (p = 0.014). In conclusion, while CG does compress the thigh it does not afford the purported benefits for proprioception as measured by a target-matching task in the present study.

“…Earlier research has demonstrated that performance during short bursts of explosive high-intensity effort is improved by application of compression [28,36,37], in particular (as revealed by the effect size calculation in a recent systematic review) in the case of repeated sprinting and jumping [6]. In contrast, compression was reported not to exert any positive effect on repeated 20-m sprint times during a simulated netball game [38], although the pattern of intensity and rest in this particular study was unfortunately not made clear.…”

BackgroundRepeated sprint performance is determined by explosive production of power, as well as rapid recovery between successive sprints, and there is evidence that compression garments and sports taping can improve both of these factors.MethodsIn each of two sub-studies, female athletes performed two sets of 30 30-m sprints (one sprint per minute), one set wearing compression garment with adhesive silicone stripes (CGSS) intended to mimic taping and the other with normal clothing, in randomized order. Sub-study 1 (n = 12) focused on cardio-respiratory, metabolic, hemodynamic and perceptual responses, while neuronal and biomechanical parameters were examined in sub-study 2 (n = 12).ResultsIn both sub-studies the CGSS improved repeated sprint performance during the final 10 sprints (best P < 0.01, d = 0.61). None of the cardio-respiratory or metabolic variables monitored were altered by wearing this garment (best P = 0.06, d = 0.71). Also during the final 10 sprints, rating of perceived exertion by the upper leg muscles was reduced (P = 0.01, d = 1.1), step length increased (P = 0.01, d = 0.91) and activation of the m. rectus femoris elevated (P = 0.01, d = 1.24), while the hip flexion angle was lowered throughout the protocol (best P < 0.01, d = 2.28) and step frequency (best P = 0.34, d = 0.2) remained unaltered.ConclusionAlthough the physiological parameters monitored were unchanged, the CGSS appears to improve performance during 30 30-m repeated sprints by reducing perceived exertion and altering running technique.

“…120 Four studies reported improvements in exercise performance and reduced lactic acid levels in participants wearing compression garments; however, effects sizes were generally small. [121][122][123][124] In terms of recovery from exercise, one study found compression substantially improved performance in a 40 km cycling time trial by a mean of 1.2%. 125 Six studies reported a beneficial effect of compression garments (worn during or after exercise) on muscle soreness in runners, 109 110 cricket players, 117 weight lifters, general sprinting and jumping exercise session, 126 untrained women doing arm exercises, 128 and rugby players.…”

“…127 Of these, three reported significantly lower levels of creatine kinase in the compression groups, a surrogate marker of muscle damage. [117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128] Finally, three studies that compared recovery using compression garments to other forms of recovery treatment (such as massage, hot and icy cold water therapy, low intensity exercise) found that all strategies were better than nothing but that compression garments had similar effects to those of these other treatments. Several studies have found that compression garments increased skin temperature compared with normal clothing.…”
