In addition, contradictory results were found for CMJ [45], VO2 [66], and RPE [45] in endurance athletes who utilized CG. A study that
investigated the performance of wearing different graduated CS during 10 km time trials found that wearing low (12-15 mm Hg) and
medium (18-21 mm Hg) GCS improved leg muscle function and CMJ [45]. The effect was even more prominent after intense endurance
exercise compared to control and high (23-32 mm Hg) GCS groups. Another study compared the difference between graduated
compression tights during a 15-minute incremental run at 50, 70, and 85% heart rate reserve [44]. The tights had ankle, calf, and thigh
pressure of 18.0 mm Hg, 12.6 mm Hg, and 7.2 mm Hg, respectively, and the results showed a significant improvement in both CMJ and
RPE [44]. Comparing the socks from the previous study [45], it was concluded that the highest pressure sock was not necessarily the
optimal option for different exercise intensities. These findings also indicated that wearing different types/pressures of socks may have
caused the contradictory results and further research is needed to determine the optimal application of GC. It must also be noted that
while the included reviews on CG yielded overall benefits for recovery, endurance athletes did not seem to benefit from CG like other
types of athletes.
