Influence of compression garments on fatigue behaviour during running based on nonlinear dynamical analysis.

The purpose of this study was to assess quantitatively the effects of compression garments (CGs) on fatigue behaviour during sport activities such as running, which are the subject of a series of qualitative and physiological studies. A quantitative biomechanical analysis of the effects of CGs could assist coaches and athletes to adopt these types of performance enhancement garments. In this research, kinematic changes are measured using 2D phase portraits to study the influence of CGs on fatigue behaviour.

Quantification of the effect of compression garments on fatigue behavior in cycling.

Effectiveness of compression garments to enhance athletic performance is the subject of numerous qualitative studies. This study aims at quantification of the effect of compression garments using nonlinear dynamics approach. Kinematic data of fifteen healthy male athletes was obtained and the state space was reconstructed.
