Common femoral vein markers of venous return for each sports compression garment condition. Markers measured include (A) CSA, (B) Vmean, (C) Vpeak, and (D) venous blood flow. Bars are the mean ± SD. Individual coloured data points indicate individual participants. * p < 0.05, significant condition effect; † p < 0.05, significant effect compared with CON; ‡ p < 0.05, significant effect compared with SOCKS. a Small effect compared with CON; b Medium effect compared with CON. CON = no compression; CSA = cross-sectional area; SHORTS = compression shorts; SOCKS = compression socks; TIGHTS = compression tights; Vmean = mean flow velocity; Vpeak = peak flow velocity.
