Abstract [en]

The effects of three textiles with increasing compressive surface were compared with non-compressive conventional clothing on physiological and perceptual variables during sub-maximal and maximal running. 15 well-trained endurance athletes (mean ± s, age: 27.1 ± 4.8 years, VO2max 63.7 ± 4.9 ml∙min-1∙kg-1) performed four sub-maximal (~70%VO2max) and maximal tests with and without different compression stockings, tights, and whole body compression suits. Arterial lactate concentration, oxygen saturation and partial pressure, pH, oxygen uptake and ratings of muscle soreness were recorded before, during, and after all tests. Additionally, time to exhaustion was assessed. Sub-maximal (P = 0.22) and maximal oxygen uptake (P = 0.26), arterial lactate concentration (P = 0.16; 0.20), pH (P = 0.23; 0.46), oxygen saturation (P = 0.13; 0.26) and oxygen partial pressure (P = 0.09; 0.20) did not differ between the types of clothing (effect sizes = 0.00-0.45). Ratings of perceived exertion (P = 0.10; 0.15), muscle soreness (P = 0.09; 0.10) and time to exhaustion (P = 0.16) were also unaffected by the different clothing (effect sizes = 0.28-0.85). For the first time, the effect on endurance performance of different types of compression clothing with increasing amount of compressive surface was evaluated. Overall, there were no performance benefits when using the compression garments.
