VA Question of the Week: Are sports compression stockings helpful? For athletes who have venous insufficiency, then yes, calf-compression tubes or calf-high stockings help, both during exercise as well as during normal life activities. For athletes with normal vein functionality, calf-compression garments enhance the calf muscle’s pumping function of removing deoxygenated venous blood. Thus, compression garments may improve athletic performance.
