Summary Objectives The present study sought to determine how basic motor skills, such as agility, and the brain's reaction to perception handling are affected by the pressure level of compression pants. Equipment and methods Twelve subjects wore three different compression pants and undertook sidestep tests to evaluate agility. For the analysis of movement-related cortical potentials, electroencephalography was conducted while participants performed an exercise involving the pressing of a foot-operated switch in response to randomly repeated sound stimuli. Results When wearing the CG2 model pants, the pant that applied the highest pressure among the three, enhanced agility (P
