Abstract
In this study, we analysed accelerometry data from runners foot strikes with and without sport compression stockings. Also, we measured comfort perceived with these garments due its importance to a succesful performance. Ten male runners (n=10) exerted two laboratory test condition in different days: a) without compression stockings and b) with one kind of compression in each leg. Accelerometry data were registered using sensors in tibia and head. Also participants filled out a comfort test in stockings’ condition. Medium compression (MC) impacts attenuation was lower than no compression (NC) condition (p<0,05). General comfort perceived was 66%. In conclusion, compression stockings demonstrated a protective effect against impacts and were perceived as comfortable.
