The results suggest that wearing LBCG facilitated a small number of cardiorespiratory and peripheral physiological benefits that appeared mostly related to improvements in venous flow. However, these improvements appear trivial to athletes, as they did not correspond to any improvement in endurance running performance.
More power to you.

As I sit here recovering from a broken collarbone I came across this article, Ice Delays Recovery from Injuries , by Dr. Mirkin on ice and anti inflammatories. I’ve always wondered why you would block the bodies natural process to healing? I also disagree with the use of compression clothing for the same reason. Now there’s compression clothing with ice pockets. The double whamy. My thought is that you want blood to flow to an injured area for repair. I’ve yet to try compression clothing. It’s a fairly expensive item to just throw into your dresser drawer if it doesn’t work.
