Recovering from repeat sprint activity and elite Australian football training and competition: do compression garments help?
… stressors from training and competition, sports compression garments which offer low levels of compression, are commonly used to enhance recovery due to their ease of use, accessibility and affordability. Although a substantial body of research exists investigating compression garment use after a …

Investigation of the impact of compression garments on endurance running performance and exercise induced muscle damage in the lower leg
Introduction: Compression garments utilisation is very popular among runners despite the relative lack of consensus in the literature regarding a beneficial impact. Methods: A randomised controlled experimental study was conducted in healthy, uninjured endurance runners (n=41) participating in the …
