Abstract This study aimed to investigate the impact of different types of compression legwear on knee biomechanics, and lower limb inter-joint coordination during depth jumps. Twelve healthy male participants were randomly assigned to wear compression shorts (CS), compression tights (CT), and sports shorts (control: CC). The participants perform depth jumps from a platform of 40 cm in height, thus landing on their dominant side (DS) and non-dominant side (NS).
