I want my on field performance to be more explosive, could compression garments help?
Explosive power has become a prerequisite to success in field based sports. Much of the pre-season training for field sports such as Rugby Union, Rugby League and AFL are dedicated to increasing the size, strength and power of the players. In fact it is often the players that are the most explosive that make it to the top. One of the measures commonly used to measure explosive power is the vertical jump. Often athletes will train intensely for months just to increase their vertical jump by a couple of centimeters. Interestingly research has shown that simply wearing compression garments can increase vertical jump height by 2.4cm (3). This is not a one off finding and other research has shown that average force and power production during vertical jump testing is higher when wearing compression garments (5).
