Before and after the race, a sample of venous blood was obtained, and jump height and leg muscle power were measured during a countermovement jump. Serum myoglobin and creatine kinase concentrations were determined as blood markers of muscle fiber damage. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Total race time was not different between the control group and the compression stockings group (210 \u00b1 23 and 214 \u00b1 22 minutes, respectively; P = .58). Between the control group and the compression stockings group, postrace reductions in leg muscle power (\u221219.8% \u00b1 17.7% versus \u221224.8% \u00b1 18.4%, respectively; P = .37) and jump height (\u221225.3% \u00b1 14.1% versus \u221232.5% . 20.4%, respectively; P = .27) were similar. At the end of the race, there were no differences between the control group and the compression stockings group in serum myoglobin (568 \u00b1 347 ng\u00b7mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> versus 573 \u00b1 270 ng\u00b7mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>, respectively; P = .97) and creatine kinase concentration (390 \u00b1 166 U\u00b7L<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> versus 487 \u00b1 227 U\u00b7L<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>, respectively; P = .16). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> The use of compression stockings did not improve running pace and did not prevent exercise-induced muscle damage during the marathon. Wearing compression stockings during long-distance running events is an ineffective strategy to avoid the deleterious effects of muscle damage on running performance. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p> Therapy, level 2b.
