Effects of compression garments on recovery from intermittent exercise

چکیده
The objective of the study was to examine theeffects of wearing compression garments for 24 h post-exercise on the biochemical, physical and perceivedrecovery of highly trained athletes. Eight field hockeyplayers completed a match simulation exercise protocol ontwo occasions separated by 4 weeks after which lower-limb compression garments (CG) or loose pants (CON)were worn for 24 h. Blood was collected pre-exercise and1, 24 and 48 h post-exercise for IL-6, IL-1b, TNF-a, CRPand CK. Blood lactate was monitored throughout exerciseand for 30 min after. A 5 counter-movement jump (5CMJ)and squat jump were performed and perceived sorenessrated at pre-exercise and 1, 24 and 48 h post-exercise.Perceived recovery was assessed post-exercise using aquestionnaire related to exercise readiness. Repeatedmeasures ANOVA was used to assess changes in blood,perceptual and physical responses to recovery. CK andCRP were significantly elevated 24 h post-exercise in bothconditions (p\ 0.05). No significant differences wereobserved for TNF-a, IL1-b, IL-6 between treatments(p[ 0.05). Power and force production in the 5CMJ wasreduced and perceived soreness was highest at 1 h post-exercise (p\ 0.05). Perceived recovery was lowest at 1 hpost-exercise in both conditions (p\ 0.01), whilst overall,perceived recovery was greater when CG were worn(p\ 0.005). None of the blood or physical markers ofrecovery indicates any benefit of wearing compressiongarments post-exercise. However, muscle soreness andperceived recovery indicators suggest a psychologicalbenefit may exist.

Graduated compression stockings have been used as a mechanical method of deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis for several years. Several studies have demonstrated an increase in mean deep venous velocity, reduced venous pooling, improved venous return, and increase blood lactate clearance in subjects who wore graduated compression stockings during exercise. A possible improvement in venous return d...
