Title: Influence of compression garments on vertical jump performance
in NCAA Division 1 Volleyball players
Authors: Kraemer WJ, Bush JA, Bauer JA et al
Year: 1996
Type of reference: Randomised clinical trial
Garment type: Compression shorts – covered area from
waist to just above knee. Garment consisted of 88% 70-denier Antron® nylon
and 12% 40-denier Lycra spandex warp knit tricot weighing 8.2 oz per sq yd and
having approximately 165% x 125% total stretch
No. of subjects: 18 men and 18 women
Summary of trial: Purpose of study – determine whether compression shorts
affected vertical jump performance
Jumps performed on AMTI force plate interfaced to a computer with customized
software to determine jump force and power
Results demonstrated that compressive shorts:
- Help maintain power output during repeated jumping
However, garments had no effect on maximal force or power of the highest jump.
Compression has been shown to be beneficial in that it:
- Helps the muscle pumping action of the cardiovascular system remove lactate
from exercising muscle
(0231)
Note – no negative effects were observed with the use of this level
of compression in shorts
