Why the study?

Compression garments are believed to improve central hemodynamic responses during exercise and recovery, but the evidence remains inconclusive.

Does wearing compression garments improve central hemodynamic responses in healthy individuals?

Population

Healthy individuals across 12 randomized controlled trials

Comparison

Wearing compression garments at rest or after a physiological challenge vs control

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Implication

Supports CG use post-challenge in healthy adults; confirms large hemodynamic benefits, especially for SV and HR.

Structured PICO

Does wearing compression garments improve central hemodynamic responses in healthy individuals?

P
Population
Healthy individuals (12 RCTs)
I
Intervention
Wearing compression garments at rest or after a physiological challenge (maximal exercise or orthostatic challenge)
O
Outcome
Central hemodynamic responses, including cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and systemic vascular resistancesurrogate

Wearing compression garments significantly improves central hemodynamic responses, particularly stroke volume and heart rate, in healthy individuals after a physiological challenge.
