Lower extremity CS act on the calf muscle pump (capable, in healthy individuals, of generating pressures of greater than 200 mm Hg) and promote even greater venous return than normal conditions (4).

They have a well - documented effect of increasing lower - limb venous return and decreasing venous pooling postexercise, which has been associated with dramatic increases in lower - limb oxygenation (4,8).

Compression garments have also been shown to augment lower - limb «muscle pump» action thereby increasing cardiac venous return in preparation for renal perfusion and bloodborne waste product removal (15).

Instead of causing vasoconstriction due to cold temperatures, compression gear mechanically constricts blood vessels in the extremities to promote venous return of blood to the heart.

This means that you aren't restricting arterial flow to the area, but you are restricting the venous return from the muscles.

We know that compression will increase arterial blood flow and venous return.

This promotes healthy circulation by increasing the venous return to heart as a result of lower limb activity.
