Discussion

Crossover trial reveals functional compression tights reduce perceived and performance fatigability.

Wearing functional compression tights significantly reduced perceived fatigability and muscle activity during squats.
Statistical analysis indicated a notable reduction in root mean square of vastus medialis obliquus muscle activity.
Electroencephalographic data suggested a stabilizing effect on frontal brain activity, correlating with perceived fatigability.
These findings indicate functional compression tights may enhance both motor and cognitive performance during exercise.

Isshiki et al. (2025) studied this question.
