2. Increase the speed of exercise fatigue recovery: One study compared three different active exercise recovery methods, and found that the effect of cold water bath on fatigue recovery is greater than carbohydrate supplementation and stretching, even greater than wearing compression clothes. However, another study found that alternating hot and cold water bath and compressed clothing have similar effects on fatigue recovery, but both of them are much better than passive recovery. The conclusion is that although wearing a compression suit is not the most powerful active recovery method, it is still much better than passive recovery.
3. Relieve the feeling of pain and fatigue: although there is no obvious difference in objective data, such as muscle injury index, maximum muscle strength, lactic acid accumulation, heart rate, etc. The subjective feeling of muscle pain or fatigue of players wearing compression suits is obviously lower than that of players not wearing compression suits. Because fatigue is a subjective feeling, it is basically effective if players think that compressing clothes will make them more relaxed and more powerful.
4. Reduce delayed muscle soreness: Delayed muscle soreness usually occurs in the exercise of excessive eccentric contraction of muscles, such as downhill running. The compressor can reduce the inflammatory reaction caused by eccentric contraction of muscles by providing external restraint of muscles. It was found that after wearing the compressor, the indexes of muscle injury and pain decreased significantly after exercise.
The above is the introduction of why you should wear compression clothes when running. I hope it helps you.
