The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wearing ergonomic designed sport compressive garment (D-CG) and general compression garment (G-CG) on physiological response during and after exercise in recreational runners. Eight male recreational runners (aged 26.13 ± 2.36 years old and V ̇O2max of 48.88 ± 3 ml/min/kg) were recruited. All participates were assigned to wear G-CG, D-CG, and nearly nude (non-CG) to perform a 40 minutes 75% V ̇O2max treadmill run. The main effect between three CG conditions in running economy at the 40-minute of running (P =0.03). Significantly lower V ̇O2 (L/min) P <0.05 the time points after 20 of exercise were found between D-CG and N-CG (P <0.05). Compared to N-CG, wearing D-CG showed lower oxygen consumption at all the time points after 20 minutes running. Compared to N-CG, G-CG showed lower oxygen consumption at the time points of 25 and at the end of 40 minutes running course. However, there were no differences in cardio-respiratory response including cardiac output (Q ̇), stroke volume (SV) and Oxygen pulse (V ̇O2/HR). There was no difference in lactate and rating of perceived exertion among D-CG, G-CG, and N-CG prior to or post running trial. In recovery phase, there no significant difference in CK, Mb or VAS. These results suggest that wearing D-CG might enhance oxygen utilization and thus the performance in recreational runner after 20 minute submaximal running; however G-CG revealed no pronounce effect. Conclusion: This finding suggest that wearing D-CG is likely to enhance submaximal running after 20 minute running; besides, indicating that wearing D-CG were more consistent than wearing G-CG.
