Study Shows Compression Clothing Improves Endurance

Is There Evidence that Runners can Benefit from Wearing Compression Clothing?

A study published in the journal Sports Medicine concluded that compression gear improves endurance performance and reduces muscle pain, damage and inflammation.

Three medical research databases were analyzed for peer-reviewed studies examining the impact of compression on physiological, psychological and/or biomechanics.

The authors of the meta-study concluded that "by wearing compression clothing, runners may improve variables related to endurance performance (i.e., time to exhaustion) slightly, due to improvements in running economy, biomechanical variables, perception, and muscle temperature. They should also benefit from reduced muscle pain, damage, and inflammation."
