Although compression garments are used to improve sports performance, methodological approaches and the direction of evidence regarding garments for use in high-intensity exercise settings are diverse.
Our primary aim was to summarize the association between lower-limb compression garments (LLCGs) and changes in sports performance during high-intensity exercise. We also aimed to summarize evidence about the following physiological parameters related to sports performance: vertical jump height (VJ), maximal oxygen uptake (VOmax), submaximal oxygen uptake (VOsubmax), blood lactate concentrations ([La]), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE, 6-20 Borg scale).
We searched electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov) and reference lists for previous reviews. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials with athletes or physically active subjects (≥ 18 years) using any type of LLCG during high-intensity exercise. The results were described as weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI).
The 23 included studies showed low statistical heterogeneity for the pooled outcomes. We found that LLCGs yielded similar running performance to controls (50-400 m: WMD 0.06 s [95% CI - 1.99 to 2.11]; 800-3000 m: WMD 6.10 s [95% CI - 7.23 to 19.43]; > 5000 m: WMD 1.01 s [95% CI - 84.80 to 86.82]). Likewise, we found no evidence that LLCGs were superior in secondary outcomes (VJ: WMD 2.25 cm [95% CI - 2.51 to 7.02]; VOmax: WMD 0.24 mL.kg.min [95% CI - 1.48 to 1.95]; VOsubmax: WMD - 0.26 mL.kg.min [95% CI - 2.66 to 2.14]; [La]: WMD 0.19 mmol/L [95% CI - 0.22 to 0.60]; RPE: WMD - 0.20 points [95% CI - 0.48 to 0.08]).
LLCGs were not associated with improved performance in VJ, VOmax, VOsubmax, [La], or RPE during high-intensity exercise. Such evidence should be taken into account when considering using LLCGs to enhance running performance.
尽管压缩服装被用于提高运动表现,但在高强度运动环境中使用服装的方法和证据方向却多种多样。
我们的主要目的是总结下肢压缩服装(LLCGs)与高强度运动中运动表现变化之间的关联。我们还旨在总结与运动表现相关的以下生理参数的证据:垂直跳跃高度(VJ)、最大摄氧量(VOmax)、次最大摄氧量(VOsubmax)、血乳酸浓度([La])和感知用力程度(RPE,6-20 倍 Borg 量表)。
我们检索了电子数据库(PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane 图书馆和 ClinicalTrials.gov)和以前综述的参考文献列表。纳入的研究包括使用任何类型的 LLCG 进行高强度运动的随机对照试验,研究对象为运动员或体力活动者(≥18 岁)。结果以加权均数差(WMD)和 95%置信区间(95%CI)表示。
23 项纳入研究对汇总结果的统计学异质性较低。我们发现,LLCGs 与对照组相比,跑步表现相似(50-400m:WMD 0.06s[95%CI-1.99 至 2.11];800-3000m:WMD 6.10s[95%CI-7.23 至 19.43];>5000m:WMD 1.01s[95%CI-84.80 至 86.82])。同样,我们没有发现 LLCGs 在次要结局方面具有优势的证据(VJ:WMD 2.25cm[95%CI-2.51 至 7.02];VOmax:WMD 0.24mL.kg.min[95%CI-1.48 至 1.95];VOsubmax:WMD-0.26mL.kg.min[95%CI-2.66 至 2.14];[La]:WMD 0.19mmol/L[95%CI-0.22 至 0.60];RPE:WMD-0.20 点[95%CI-0.48 至 0.08])。
LLCGs 与高强度运动中 VJ、VOmax、VOsubmax、[La]或 RPE 的表现改善无关。在考虑使用 LLCGs 来提高跑步表现时,应考虑到这些证据。
