Lower body compression (LBC) has been shown as an effective recovery tool from basketball but it is unknown how it affects performance. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of wearing a LBC garment on anaerobic exercise performance in collegiate basketball players. Healthy Division I collegiate basketball players (n = 12) were recruited for this study. In a crossover, counterbalanced study design, subjects volunteered to participate in two separate visits each with a different condition: wearing a LBC garment or non-compressive control (CON) garment. During each visit, subjects completed 2 × 30 second Wingate Anaerobic Tests (WAnTs) separated by a 5-min active recovery period. Each visit was separated by a 72 h washout period. Results revealed that over the 2 × 30 second WAnTs, mean power output ( p  = 0.028; d= 0.35), anaerobic capacity ( p  = 0.018; d = 0.45), and total work ( p  = 0.027; d = 0.36) were higher when wearing the LBC versus CON garment. However, peak power output ( p  = 0.319; d = 0.09), anaerobic power ( p  = 0.263; d = 0.23), and fatigue index ( p  = 0.749; d = 0.05) were not statistically different. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was significantly lower ( p  = 0.032; d = 0.72) with LBC compared to CON. Results indicate that LBC may increase anaerobic exercise performance in collegiate basketball players.
