[Compartment pressure of the anterior tibial area in jogging].
31 healthy persons had to run on a treadmill under defined conditions at a constant speed of 8 km/h. Pressure in the anterior flexor-muscles compartment was measured regulary in time before, during and after running; the size of the compartment was documented by sonography. The measured pressure was attached to the respective compartment size. The runners were divided into three groups based on characteristic pressure-courses: the normal-type with average values below 50 mmHg, the indifference-type with a distinctly higher pressure than 50 mmHg and the risk-type with values more than 70 mmHg. A correlation between exercise-pressure and time of post-exercising decrease of pressure was found. While the normal type reached the starting pressure within 6 minutes the indifference and risk type didn't succeed in decreasing after this period of time. No change of compartmental size was measured while the pressure increased on exertion.
