The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the effect of compression garments under resting conditions and after the induction of delayed‐onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by MR perfusion imaging using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM). Magnetic resonance imaging of both lower legs of 16 volunteers was performed before and after standardized eccentric exercises that induced DOMS. A compression garment (21–22 mmHg) was worn during and for 6 h after exercise on one randomly selected leg. IVIM MR imaging, …
