Based on current research findings, listed below are potential areas where a competitive advantage may be gained through the use of compression garments: enhancing blood circulation to peripheral limbs reducing blood lactate concentration during maximal exercise bouts enhancing warm-up via increases in skin temperature increasing vertical jump height improving repetitive jump power reducing muscle oscillation upon ground contact increasing torque generated about joints, improving performance and reducing the risk of injury, for example, assisting the eccentric action of the hamstring at the end of the swing phase in running enhancing recovery following strenuous exercise by aiding in the removal of blood lactate and improving subsequent exercise performance reducing the effects of delayed onset muscle soreness in the days following strenuous exercise increasing feelings of positive leg sensations both during and following strenuous exercise. In conclusion, according to the literature, compression garments may offer several ergogenic benefits for athletes across a multitude of sporting backgrounds. In particular, some studies have reported that compression garments can improve muscular power, strength, enhance recovery following intense exercise and improve proprioception. However, caution should be taken when choosing the correct compression garment for your sport and ensuring the garment provides enough pressure to promote venous return.
