Effect of Lower Body Compression Garments on Hemodynamics in Response to Running Session

Table 4

Leg blood flow at baseline and after the running in two types of breeches.

Condition	Parameter	Type of garment
		Loose breeches	Compression breeches
Baseline	Arterial blood flow, mL/100 mL/min	4.56 (1.06)	3.01 (1.41)*
	Venous reserve volume, mL/100 mL	2.08 (0.57)	1.68 (0.54)
	Venous emptying rate, mL/100 mL/min	42.2 (27.2)	42.3 (27.3)
3 to 10 min after exercise	Arterial blood flow, mL/100 mL/min	17.0 (4.5)	16.9 (6.3)
	Venous reserve volume, mL/100 mL	1.04 (0.33)	1.15 (0.24)
	Venous emptying rate, mL/100 mL/min	29.4 (15.1)	36.5 (16.5)
30 min after exercise	Arterial blood flow, mL/100 mL/min	7.0 (2.2)	7.1 (3.3)
	Venous reserve volume, mL/100 mL	1.24 (0.32)	1.35 (0.40)
	Venous emptying rate, mL/100 mL/min	24.6 (11.1)	45.6 (30.3)*

*Significantly () different from loose breeches condition.
