Previous studies showed that Lycra-type compression shorts could enhance athletics performance such as repetitive jump power (Kraemer et al, 1998), improve proprioception and increase endurance. However, there comes up a new type of compression garment with muscle support system composed of high elastic band bordered on garments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the jumping performance with varied kind compression garments.
