Is There Evidence that Runners can Benefit from Wearing Compression Clothing?
Conclusion Our present findings suggest that by wearing compression clothing, runners may improve variables related to endurance performance (i.e., time to exhaustion) slightly, due to improvements in running economy, biomechanical variables, perception, and muscle temperature. They should also benefit from reduced muscle pain, damage, and inflammation.

The Effects of Backwards Running Training on Forward Running Economy in Trained Males
Abstract: Ordway, JD, Laubach, LL, Vanderburgh, PM, and Jackson, KJ. The effects of backwards running training on forward running economy in trained males. J Strength Cond Res 30(3): 763–767, 2016—Backwards running (BR) results in greater cardiopulmonary response and muscle activity compared with forward running (FR). BR has traditionally been used in rehabilitation for disorders such as stroke and lower leg extremity injuries, as well as in short bursts during various athletic events. The aim of this study was to measure the effects of sustained backwards running training on forward running economy in trained male ath...
