Lower limb sports compression garments improve muscle blood flow and exercise performance during repeated-sprint cycling

Purpose: Evidence supporting the use of lower-limb compression garments during repeated-sprint exercise (RSE) with short rest periods, where performance will rely heavily on aerobic metabolism, is lacking. Methods: A total of 20 recreationally active …

Muscle oxygenation asymmetry in ice speed skaters: Not compensated by compression

Purpose: The current investigation assessed tissue oxygenation and local blood volume in both vastus lateralis muscles during 3000-m race simulations in elite speed skaters on ice and the effects of leg compression on physiological, perceptual, and …
