May attenuate leg blood pooling and HR responses during LBNP in healthy men; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do elastic compression stockings alter leg blood capacity and heart rate response during lower body negative pressure in healthy men?
A mathematical model accurately simulates cardiovascular responses to lower body negative pressure, validated by experimental data showing compression stockings reduce leg blood capacity and heart rate changes.
