In spite of an increasing use of elastic stockings in the field of sports, the paucity of reports on physiological and morphological responses to wearing elastic stockings prompted us to investigate it. The purpose of the present investigation was to clarify the physiological effects of wearing elastic stockings for sports on cardiorespiratory responses, peripheral circulation, leg circumference etc. during exercise. Data were collected through a questionnaire, which was then compared against previously reported results. The results of the questionnaire revealed that many of the subjects were amateur runners, who exercised as a hobby or for recreational purposes. In addition, many of the subjects have some experience using compression stockings, holding the view that it aids the recovery of fatigue, promotes blood circulation, and improves their competitive power. On the other hand, although elastic stockings increased suppression around the lower leg, physiological effects demonstrated no significant differences in cardiorespiratory responses or peripheral circulation. It is concluded that wearing elastic stockings for sports does not a large effect on respiratory responses to intense exercise in healthy young people. Questions still remain about the physiological role of elastic stockings, but at this stage, there is no alternative but to wait for future research.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological effect by comparing changes in feelings and psychological condition before and after wearing the compression garment for sports. Two kinds of questionnaire investigations, Two-dimensional mood Scale and Psychological condition inventory, were executed for 50 non-athletes (35males and 15females) and 25 college athletes (21males and 4 females) before and after wearing the garment. The result was as follows. (1) Regardless of the non-athletes or the athlete, it was shown that the activation level, the stability level and the degree of comfort were improved, and a moderate arousal level to sports was obtained by wearing the garment. (2) It was shown that the anxiety level of athletes and non-athletes was reduced, and there was an effect of promoting mental stability to sports. In conclusion, by wearing the garment, the possibility of becoming one method of the lead into an appropriate psychological condition for sports was shown.
