Aiming at improving sports performance, many athletes resort to resources ranging from the use of dietary supplements to nutritional, mechanical, psychological, and even the use of appropriate clothing. The objective of this study was: Comparison of the effects of compression elastic trousers on the activation of the vastus medialis in the squatting exercise. In the scope of material and methods participated in this study 15 physically active individuals volunteers of the course of Physical Education of the UniCEUB. The electromyographic activation of the vastus medialis did not present a significant difference between the first and sixth series in the protocol with the compression pants (p = 0.135) and in the protocol without the compression pants (p = 0.314). There were no differences in the activation of the vastus medialis between the protocols with and without compression trousers in the first series (p = 0.152) and in the sixth series (p = 0.363). Our study aimed to verify changes that may occur in physical performance when using compression pants. Our study found no significant difference in physical performance comparing the same individuals, hour using the pant, hour without using it.
