In order to understand which compression garments are best, one needs to understand the benefits that each will provide. Do you need or want compression tights, socks, calf guards, or shirts? This article will explain the benefits of compression and the benefits that each item will provide.

• Benefits of Compression

o Improved Circulation – faster warm up and recovery. When the blood can travel through your body faster the muscles will get the needed fuel quicker and reduce fatigue.

o Reduced Recovery Time – due to the improved circulation muscles have less lactic acid build up thus reducing soreness and allowing you to train harder.

o Increased Endurance – the tightness of the clothing decreases vibration of muscles thus increasing your ability to train and race longer.

o UV Protection – UPF 50+ protection from the sun´s harmful rays – while training and racing.

• Socks

Race/Performance Socks/Recovery Socks

Through a graduated fit and powerful yarns, compression socks aid blood circulation for faster flushing of lactates and improved oxygen , heightened proprioception and reduce muscle vibration; all in the convenience of a practical sock!

The race sock is a sport styled sock which can be worn during competition and training to stabilize muscles for less fatigue and muscle damage. The race sock also channels air, wicks moisture and boasts a linked toe cage to enhance comfort during use. Perfect for endurance events.

The recovery sock is designed for long periods of wear during travel or recovery. It is a powerful lightweight sock that enables improved venous function and offers increased deep vein thrombosis protection.

• Compression Tops

Long sleeve compression tops are the choice for athletes wanting to get maximum compression benefits for the upper body. By using graduated compression throughout the arms of the garment, venous return to the heart is enhanced, removal of lactic acid boosted, and muscle soreness and fatigue minimized. Long sleeve compression tops also provide an unrestricted range of motion by utilizing a raglan construction in the shoulders, ensuring that you are comfortable to train and compete at your best. Compression tops also come in sleeveless and short sleeve options

• Compression Tights

The graduated compression provided by these tights encourages maximum blood flow toward the heart to keep you performing at your peak for longer time periods due to decreased muscle fatigue and damage. Great for training, racing and recovery.

• Calf Guards

Targeting the calf muscle - a major driver in venous return from your lower body, calf guards can be worn during competition or used simply as a recovery tool. With similar benefits to compression tights but in a smaller package, calf guards improve circulation and protect against leg fatigue and muscle soreness. They are an essential training and recovery tool for people who need extra support through their calf region. Calf guards are available with a foot stirrup for sports demanding shin protection or when support for the achilles region is required.

• Shorts

Compression shorts have been designed to support this key area of the body during training and on race day. Suitable for wear under your competition uniform this short has tailored the fit of this short to give equal support to all regions of the upper leg- a high stress and often injury stricken area. All the while, a graduated compression aids blood flow to the heart

Summary

Everyone of these compression garments would be a great addition to your training arsenal. My advice would be to take a moment to think about what area you could use the benefits of compression most and start with the item that serves you best.
