“…The computer use group showed statistically significant differences in the upper trapezius and the smartphone use group showed statistically significant differences in the brachioradialis when compared with the control group (p<0.05). In general, muscle fatigue is caused by work that requires repeated movement in static postures, and thus the median frequency of muscles also gradually decreases 21) . The decreases in median frequencies that appeared in the results of the current study showed that the use of smartphones and computers requiring repeated motions induced upper extremity muscle fatigue.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the use of smartphones on the upper extremity and determine whether there were differences in these changes between smartphone and computer use.[Subject] Forty healthy young adults (18 male, 25 female) took part in this study.[Methods] The pressure pain threshold measurement was assessed at the center of the upper trapezius of the dominant upper limb of the subjects. Electrodes were attached to the subjects in the two experiment groups, who then continuously performed a typing task on their own personal smartphone or computer keyboard for ten minutes.[Results] Regarding the pressure pain threshold of the upper trapezius, the smartphone and computer use groups showed significant decreases after performing the task compared with before it. Regarding muscle fatigue in the four monitored muscles, the smartphone and computer use groups showed deceases in median frequencies in all muscles measured after performing the tasks. The smartphone use group showed statistically significant differences in the brachioradialis, and the computer use group showed statistically significant differences in the upper trapezius when compared with the control group (p <0.05). [Conclusion] We found feasible relationships between smartphone use and musculoskeletal symptoms of the upper extremity and neck and identified physical differences between the smartphone use and computer use.

“…From 1996 until 2001 [11,[20][21][22][23], systematic research on various types of compression shorts with Lycra elastic fibres was conducted (Table 2). According to the results, it was found that compression shorts did not have a special effect on the single maximum ground reaction force or maximum power compared with normal sports shorts.…”

The utilization of sport-related compression garments has attracted a great deal of attention from among Sports Science scholars. The function of the garments, such as to maintain muscle functions, reduce sports injuries and improve athletic performance, has been an issue of debate since the beginning of the new century. In this study, a number of methods including a literature review, logical analysis and mathematical statistics, are used to analyse earlier compression garments research, which can be found by searching hardcopy journals and online databases. Among the existing studies, most have tested and confirmed the functions of the garments; however, only a few have mentioned the underlying mechanism. Thus, by using more advanced and appropriate compression materials, future studies into compression garments will be focused on the vibration characteristics of muscles (soft tissues), and especially on their proprioceptive sensation, neuromuscular control, injury prevention and performance enhancement.

“…Optimal compression also allows the body structures to be held in place reducing the amount of movement and oscillation upon contact or allows limbs to be kept in anatomical positions when not used allowing straight-line tissue repair geometrics (19,20). Compression has also been linked to enhancing the ''muscle pump'' allowing blood return to the heart for removal of waste products (3,27). Finally, mechanical support is needed when added force is required for a movement, and this seems possible only with high compression and material mechanics not optimal for anything but short-term use (39).…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of wearing a whole body compression garment on recovery from a typical heavy resistance training workout in resistance trained men and women. Fourteen men (mean ± SD: age, 23.0 ± 2.9 years) and fourteen women (mean ± SD: age 23.1 ± 2.2 years) who were highly resistance trained gave informed consent to participate in the study. A within-group (each subject acted as their own control), balanced, and randomized treatment design was used. Nutritional intakes, activity, and behavioral patterns (e.g., no pain medications, ice, or long showers over the 24 hours) were replicated 2 days before each test separated by 72 hours. An 6-exercise whole body heavy resistance exercise protocol using barbells (10 repetition of 3 sets at 70% of one-repetition maximum, 2.0 minute rest) was performed after which the subject showered and put on a specific whole body compression garment one designed for women and one for men (CG) or just wore his/her normal noncompression clothing (CON). Subjects were then tested after 24 hours. Dependent measures included sleep quality, vitality rating, resting fatigue rating, muscle soreness, muscle swelling via ultrasound, reaction movement times, bench throw power, countermovement vertical jump power, and serum concentrations of creatine kinase (CK) measured from a blood sample obtained via venipuncture of an arm vein. We observed significant (p≤ 0.05) differences between CG and CON conditions in both men and women for vitality (CG , CON), resting fatigue ratings (CG , CON), muscle soreness (CG , CON), ultrasound measure swelling (CG , CON), bench press throw (CG .CON), and CK (CG, CON). A whole body compression garment worn during the 24-hour recovery period after an intense heavy resistance training workout enhances various psychological, physiological, and a few performance markers of recovery compared with noncompressive control garment conditions. Wearing a CG appears to help in the recovery process after intense heavy resistance training in men and women.

Influence of compression hosiery on physiological responses to standing fatigue in women

Abstract: Wearing various types of graduated compression hose during the day as it relates to women in standing professions may minimize edema and muscle tissue disruption, thereby increasing comfort in the legs.
