The study revealed that wearing a lower body compression garment exerting 15 mmHg significantly attenuated decrease in jump performance than that with wearing a lower body compression garment exerting 30 mmHg. Furthermore, exercise-induced increases in HR and the inflammatory response were significantly smaller with compression garment exerted 15mmHg than that with garment exerted < 5 mmHg.
