Compression garments seem popular among male athletes, can females benefit from them as well?

Although there are gender differences in terms of human physiology, the physiological benefits of compression garments are available to both males and females. Research reporting enhanced performance under fatigue, increased joint proprioception and reduced muscle oscillation has used both male and female athletes (10). Additionally a study reporting that compression garments reduced muscle soreness and facilitated faster recovery after soft tissue injury exclusively used female participants (12).
