| Résumé | Aim. - To verify the effects of the elastic compression on the stride length and to determine a possible dose effect response. Synthesis. - Thirteen subjects ran 12 times (1 min each) on a treadmill: at 6, 10, 14 and 18 km/h, with compression sleeves applying a pressure level of 33.4 mmHg on calf and 20.4 mmHg on thigh or 23.2 mmHg on calf and 10.8 mmHg on thigh or without compression sleeves. The stride length was recorded with the optical measurement system OptoJump Next. Conclusion. - The stride length was significantly reduced with the higher compression at 10 and 14 km/h (P<0.05) but not with the lower compression. It seems that would be necessary to apply a certain level of pressure in order that the compression alters the stride length. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. |
