摘要：Santos JS, Sousa CV, Olher RRV, Filho JMS, Mota MR. Effects of Lower-Body Compression Garment in Cycle-Ergometer Maximal Exercise Test: Preliminary Data. JEPonline 2016;19(1):88-95. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of wearing compression stockings during a maximal cycle ergometer exercise test (CT) on metabolic and perceptual variables in recreational cyclists. Five subjects underwent three days of testing in random order: (a) placebo (PL, lower-body garment without compression); and (b) compression (CP, lower-body (knee to ankle) compression garment). The tests were performed on a mechanical cycle ergometer, starting at a 90-watt (W) workload with 30 W increments every 3-min while maintaining 60 rev·min-1 until volitional exhaustion. Lactate concentration ([LAC]), heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO2), and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were registered at rest and in the final 30-sec of each stage. There were no significant differences across the three exercise sessions (CT, PL, and CP). Moreover, the power output at lactate threshold was not statistically different between the sessions, as well as the duration of each test. We conclude that lower-body compression garment (knee-to-ankle) does not improve physiological performance in trained subjects during an incremental exercise test.
