Sports CG improves subsequent cycling performance by enhancing hemodynamic responses and attenuating perceived muscle soreness during passive recovery in physically active men.Īli A, Caine MP, Snow BG (2007) Graduated compression stockings: physiological and perceptual responses during and after exercise. SV was higher at 15, 30 and 45 min ( P < 0.05), CO was higher at 5 and 45 min ( P < 0.05), HR was lower at 15 and 30 min ( P < 0.05) and was lower at 5 and 15 min ( P < 0.05) during passive recovery, while LMS was lower at all time-points ( P < 0.05) compared with CON. CON) were higher in CG than CON ( P < 0.05). Resultsĭuring the subsequent 5-min all-out cycling performance test, power output (215.2 ± 24.0 vs. Heart rate (HR), blood lactate, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), leg muscle soreness (LMS), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) were monitored at 5, 15, 30, 45, 60 min during passive recovery. Cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) were measured using Doppler ultrasound (USCOM®).

A 5-min all-out cycling performance test was subsequently conducted and power output and cadence were recorded. During each experimental trial, the subjects performed 20-min fatiguing preload cycling followed by 60-min passive recovery wearing either a sports CG (28.6 ± 9.4 mmHg) or gymnastic pants (CON). To investigate sports compression garment (CG)-induced recovery hemodynamics and their potential impact on subsequent cycling performance.
