Cycling study checks performance benefits of compression tights 

Published on 21 June, 2006 

CQU will soon begin research into the actual performance benefits of compression tights, building on other studies showing they have physical benefits.

The CQU study will be the first in Australia to use a Near Infra-Red Spectroscopy (NIRS) device to examine the consumption of oxygen within the thigh muscles of athletes wearing the tights.

Researcher Ben Dascombe, a PhD candidate in Health & Human Performance, has Queensland Academy of Sport grant funding and garments supplied by Skins and hopes to start testing cyclists in Rockhampton during July.

Mr Dascombe said the NIRS device uses 2 wavelengths which correspond to hemoglobin with and without oxygen attached.
