Eighteen volunteers (age: 24.1 \u00b1 3.6, BMI 22.7 \u00b1 2.7 kg\/m2) were enrolled. Measures were acquired at baseline, 6 h, and 48 h after eccentric and plyometric exercise, with wearing a compression garment (21\u201322 mmHg) on a calf during and for the first 6 h after exercise. 3T MRI was performed for quantification of intramuscular edema (T2 signal intensity (SI), T2 time, and manual volume segmentation); jump height, calf circumference, ankle dorsiflexion (DF), creatine kinase (CK), and muscle soreness were assessed. DOMS was confirmed in all participants after 48 h, with an increase in soreness (p &lt; 0.001) and CK (p = 0.001), decrease in jump height (p &lt; 0.01), and the presence of intramuscular edema (p &lt; 0.01) in both the compressed and non-compressed limbs. No differences between the compressed and non-compressed limbs were observed for muscle soreness and jump height. MRI T2 SI, T2 time, soreness, and manual segmentation revealed no effect of the compression treatment. The assessment of calf circumference and DF showed no changes in either the compression or non-compression limb (p = 1.0). Wearing compression garments during combined eccentric and plyometric exercise and for 6 h post-exercise has no effect on clinical signs of DOMS, jump performance, or the development of intramuscular edema.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18073798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,6]],"date-time":"2021-04-06T03:58:31Z","timestamp":1617681511000},"page":"3798","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Multi-Parametric Analysis of Below-Knee Compression Garments on Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Thilo","family":"Hotfiel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t (FAU) Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, Rathsberger Str. 57, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"},{"name":"Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery Osnabr\u00fcck (OZMC), Klinikum Osnabr\u00fcck, Am Finkenh\u00fcgel 1, 49076 Osnabr\u00fcck, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Svenja","family":"H\u00f6ger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Radiology, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t (FAU) Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, Maximiliansplatz 3, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0948-1421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Armin M.","family":"Nagel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Radiology, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t (FAU) Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, Maximiliansplatz 3, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Uder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Radiology, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t (FAU) Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, Maximiliansplatz 3, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3515-0669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Kemmler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medical Physics (IMP), Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t (FAU) Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, Henekstr. 91, 91052 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raimund","family":"Forst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t (FAU) Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, Rathsberger Str. 57, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Engelhardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery Osnabr\u00fcck (OZMC), Klinikum Osnabr\u00fcck, Am Finkenh\u00fcgel 1, 49076 Osnabr\u00fcck, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Casper","family":"Grim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery Osnabr\u00fcck (OZMC), Klinikum Osnabr\u00fcck, Am Finkenh\u00fcgel 1, 49076 Osnabr\u00fcck, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafael","family":"Heiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Radiology, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t (FAU) Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, Maximiliansplatz 3, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hotfiel, T., Mayer, I., Huettel, M., Hoppe, M.W., Engelhardt, M., Lutter, C., Pottgen, K., Heiss, R., Kastner, T., and Grim, C.
