I used to wear compression underlayer for playing Rugby. I found it stopped my back from aching and getting stiff which used to knacker my game (as a Prop forward my back was integral to my game!) not that my game was immense or anything. I can't really comment on this being the result of retained warmth or 'increased bloodflow' but it did feel lush, infact during the winter months I'm rarely to be found without compression/underlayer especially when cycling, that's when it comes into it's own. As a recovery aid I would say it does help, but again I always attributed it to keeping your muscles warm and I used said items 'during and after'.
It's also a great way to save on heating bills!
