Limited high-quality evidence has summarized the effects of compression socks during running. We aimed to investigate the effects of wearing compression socks compared with placebo or regular socks during running on physiological parameters, running performance, and perceptual outcomes.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    The protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022330437).
