Fig. 4.
Muscle blood flow (mL/min/100 g) to the gastrocnemius medialis (calf) and vastus lateralis (thigh) muscles for the CON and sports compression garment conditions (SOCKS, SHORTS, and TIGHTS). Bars are the mean ± SD. Individual colored data points indicate individual participants. * p < 0.01, significant condition effect; # p < 0.05, significant effect compared with SHORTS; † p < 0.05, significant effect compared with CON; ‡ p < 0.05, significant effect compared with SOCKS; § p < 0.05, significant effect compared with all other conditions. a Medium effect compared with CON. CON = no compression; CSA = cross-sectional area; SHORTS = compression shorts; SOCKS = compression socks; TIGHTS = compression tights.
