Vibration confers no detectable performance benefit beyond calf compression during short-term recovery, despite a sustained increase in calf cutaneous blood flow

Description

This dataset contains the anonymized raw data supporting the study entitled “Vibration confers no detectable performance benefit beyond calf compression during short-term recovery, despite a sustained increase in calf cutaneous blood flow.” Sixteen healthy, physically active adults completed three experimental conditions in a randomized within-participant crossover design: no-garment control (CON), calf compression sleeves (CCS), and calf vibration-compression sleeves (CVCS). Each experimental trial included a 20-min fatiguing treadmill-running preload, a 30-min recovery period under the assigned condition, and a subsequent running time-to-exhaustion test. The dataset includes participant characteristics, time to exhaustion, stroke volume, heart rate, cardiac output, calf cutaneous blood flow, and blood lactate concentration. All participant data have been anonymized.

Steps to reproduce

Sixteen healthy, physically active adults completed the no-garment control (CON), calf compression sleeve (CCS), and calf vibration-compression sleeve (CVCS) conditions in a randomized within-participant crossover design. During each experimental trial, participants completed a 10-min baseline period, a 20-min fatiguing treadmill-running preload, a 30-min semi-recumbent recovery period under the assigned condition, and a running time-to-exhaustion test at 85% of the running velocity associated with maximal oxygen uptake. Stroke volume and cardiac output were measured using impedance cardiography, heart rate was recorded using an optical heart-rate sensor, calf cutaneous blood flow was measured using laser-Doppler flowmetry, and blood lactate concentration was measured using a portable lactate analyzer. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way and two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, with Šidák-adjusted pairwise comparisons where appropriate. Additional methodological details are provided in the associated manuscript.
