Summary

Studies that have examined the effects of compression stocking on athlete's performance have been carried out in a single test, i.e., the athlete's was examined during running/riding/jumping with and without the compression stocking.

Yet, using the stocking during all training session and for longer period of time might further enhance the performance. Compression stocking were found to have a positive effect on the athlete' recovery. We hypotheses that if the athlete will train with the stocking on a regular basis and his/her recovery will improve, it will also improve the performance. In addition, the athlete's body may need an adjustment period to use the compression stocking. As such, the advantages of using compression stocking might only be revealed after training with the socks during a period of time and not just performing the tests/competitions with it.
