Leg compressions improve ventilatory efficiency while reducing peak and post exercise blood lactate, but does not improv...

Published in Respiratory physiology & neurobiology

These data suggest that leg compressions do not alter RE, RPE, BR, HR, or VO2, during exercise. However, compressions may be beneficial for submaximal and maximal ventilatory efficiency while improving lactate clearance at VO2max and during recovery in trained runners.
