So what are the benefits in wearing compression gear?
Increased Blood Circulation
Compression wear has been scientifically shown to increase blood circulation. Enhanced blood flow means quicker delivery of nutrients including oxygen to the muscles and faster removal of waste products like lactic acid. Increased circulation leads to higher performance and faster recovery.
Thermoregulation
Maintaining a consistent and regulated body temperature is crucial for optimal performance. Muscles must be kept warm in order to avoid injury but at the same time overheating can be greatly detrimental to performance. Compression garments work to keep the body at the consistent operating temperature.
Reduced Muscle Oscillation
Each time you move a part of your body, your muscles to move in harmony. At every movement of the muscles, a micro tear occurs within the tissues. These slight tears, along with the increase in lactic acid, consequently lead to muscle pain. The elasticity of compression garments supports the muscles and reduces the rate of damage to the muscle fibres which improves performance.
Enhanced Power Output
The right amount of compression can stimulate the muscles, aiding in greater power output and hence greater performance. It is a recognized fact that muscles help in power output by supporting the stretch cycle.
