Effect of Wearing a Compression Sock During Running on Muscle Soreness in Distance Runners.
Sponsor: Centro Universitário Augusto Motta
Summary
Running is the most popular physical activity worldwide. Although running provides many health benefits, it is often associated with injuries and symptoms such as delayed onset muscle soreness. There is still a paucity of interventions that can effectively minimise these symptoms in distance runners.

Interventions
Compression socks
A pair of socks corresponding to the intervention allocated will be given to the participant, by an investigator who will not participate in the evaluation, in a dark plastic bag to avoid any visual influence. We will adopt strategies to prevent information about the socks from influencing the participants' behaviour: (1) the compression and placebo socks will have the same colour, any visual detail and branding will be covered. Words or logos from the compression sock will be covered, so participants are unable to differentiate them. (2) After performing the running protocol, participants will remove their socks and return them to the investigator.
