This study aimed to compare the effects of compression tights (CTs), compression shorts (CSs), and control shorts (CCs) on CMJ performance and lower-limb biomechanics. Methods: Nine physically active men from a university were recruited to perform CMJ while wearing CTs, CSs, and CCs in a randomized sequence for a within-subjects repeated-measures design. A Vicon 3D motion capture system and an AMTI 3D force plate were used to collect biomechanical data. Visual3D software was used to calculate the joint angle, moment, and force of the lower limbs. Results: Statistical parametric mapping analysis with repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that during the propulsion phase of the CMJ, wearing CSs significantly reduced the hip flexion angle compared to wearing CCs (25\u201336%); meanwhile, wearing CTs significantly reduced the knee extension and flexion moment (34\u201335%) and decreased the hip extension moment during the propulsion phase (36\u201337%). In addition, CTs significantly reduced the hip abduction angle during the flight phase (37\u201339%), and CSs significantly reduced the hip anterior force during the landing phase (59\u201360%). Conclusions: Compression legwear significantly affected the hip and knee biomechanics in propulsion, but these differences were not sufficient to improve the CMJ height. Due to the improvement in hip biomechanics in the flight and landing phases, there may be potential benefits for movement transitions and landing performance in CMJ.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfmk10030257","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,8]],"date-time":"2025-07-08T02:25:53Z","timestamp":1751941553000},"page":"257","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Acute Effects of Different Types of Compression Legwear on Biomechanics of Countermovement Jump: A Statistical Parametric Mapping Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2679-0907","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui-Feng","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Fashion and Textiles, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Sports Health Intelligent Equipment of Hubei Province, Wuhan Sports University, Wuhan 430000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kit-Lun","family":"Yick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Fashion and Textiles, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China"},{"name":"Research Institute for Sports Science and Technology, Hong Kong, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6790-9310","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiu-Qiong","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Fashion and Textiles, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China"},{"name":"Research Institute for Sports Science and Technology, Hong Kong, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Fashion and Textiles, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China"},{"name":"School of Education (Normal School), Dongguan University of Technology, Dongguan 523000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chu-Hao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Fashion and Textiles, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"534","article-title":"The relationship between vertical jump power estimates and weightlifting ability: A field-test approach","volume":"18","author":"Carlock","year":"2004","journal-title":"J.
