7, 8 Additionally, there is limited evidence regarding the effects of wearing CS (only) during exercise/training/competition, which could be relevant for Sports Medicine professionals. Also, athletes living in tropical locations could be unmotivated to wear compression garments after training sessions once those garments usually promote higher skin temperatures. For example, uniform issues would limit whole-body garments in some sports. However, using CS (bellow-knee) “only during” the exercise are probably more practical (than during recovery, after-exercise) for a significant number of sports/activities. ![]() There are different types (e.g., shorts for thighs, full-leg) and application modes (e.g., using only after the exercise) for compression garments. 3– 6 Such popularity is probably boosted by the possibility to obtain potential ergogenic benefits with a simple and low-cost aid. 2 Nowadays, recreational and professional athletes have used CS as a tool for improving performance or accelerate recovery from training or competitions, and also to reduce lower limb volume, 3, 4 relieve symptoms of muscle soreness, and fatigue. 1 Over time, the interest from the basic medical area has expanded to other fields like Sports Medicine. ![]() The prevention of deep venous thrombosis is one of the first evidence-based benefits of wearing compression stockings (CS), demonstrated by a clinical experiment in which CS improved the venous return by increasing femoral vein blood flow velocity in hospitalized patients.
