I am a 65 year old masters athlete. Am I too old to benefit from compression garments?
The physiological benefits of compression garments are not limited to young athletes. In a recent study scientists investigated the effect of compression garments on performance in 63 year old sportsmen. The study investigated the effect of wearing compression garments during an 80 minute recovery period separating two all out 5 minute maximal cycle tests. The results indicated that the compression garments facilitated recovery and that performance on the second 5 minute cycle test was superior after wearing compression garments. Specifically the difference between wearing and not wearing compression garments during recovery corresponded to a 2.1% enhancement in performance (4).
