COOL COMPRESSION® Technology 

The human body is made up of bones, muscles, and joints that work together. When you move, all these parts engage in a complex interaction. Whether you’re raising your arms in a sun salutation yoga pose, stepping to the left and right in a Zumba dance, or lifting weights at the gym, your body should function how you want it to. However, it also demands proper support, both during and after the action. 

When you’re active, you use your body’s strength. When you’re at rest, your body restores the energy you used up, repairs small injuries or muscle tears, consequentially making you stronger. That said, what you wear affects your posture, stability, and stride. The freer and more reinforced your body is, the better its parts can coordinate and heal. Sportswear is designed for this purpose, but not all deliver the same level of support. 

Lontex Corporation made SWEAT IT OUT® for athletes, trainers, coaches, and active individuals. With the determination to provide sportswear that makes maximum endurance possible for everyone, and the development of COOL COMPRESSION® Technology began. 

COOL COMPRESSION® Technology enables our garments to stretch up to 200% in a full 360° rotation. We engineer them according to the human body’s major muscle groups, addressing all possible muscular needs through consistent, even pressure. COOL COMPRESSION® Technology also keeps the body temperature optimal. When you wear it, you wear protection and comfort. 

Enhancing Performance and Recovery There’s a lot to unpack anatomically and physiologically when we talk about post-workout recovery. With that said, all you need to know is that recovering from strenuous physical activity often requires these three components. 

• Blood circulation 
• Reducing swelling 
• Fatigue management 

Let’s go into these critical elements of post-workout recovery in greater detail. 

Blood Circulation 

Have you ever dealt with stiffness after a hard session at the gym, box, or track? If you have, what you experienced were micro-tears in your muscles. These tears occurred due to the stress placed on the muscles you used during your workout session. 

During exercise, any stress on muscles will create tissue damage in multiple areas. Once the tears heal, your muscles will develop into stronger ones capable of moving you at greater speeds, pushing more weight, or sustaining moderate-intensity movement for a duration. 

However, all of these adaptations won’t occur without muscular recovery, and this is where blood circulation comes in. 

Adequate blood circulation brings much-needed oxygen and nutrients to damaged muscle tissues. As your muscles receive nutrient and oxygen-rich blood, they can rebuild, and you can hit it hard again. 

Reducing Swelling and Inflammation 

Your muscles aren’t the only tissues that sustain damage following physical activity. Whether it’s a run, a hard lifting or HIIT session, or an open mat, your joints also take a beating. As a result, the tissues around areas like your elbows, shoulders, and knees will swell. 

Swelling isn’t always something to avoid since it’s part of the body’s normal response to any form of tissue damage. However, when it becomes too much, you may be too stiff to the point where you’ll be sidelined for a few days post-workout, which is bad news if you’re trying to stick to a consistent training schedule. 

This is why part of your recovery protocols should include ways to control swelling around your joints and muscles. 

Managing Muscle Fatigue, Particularly the “Dreaded DOMS” 

The last piece of the post-workout recovery puzzle is muscular fatigue management. When done correctly, management can result in faster recovery and save you from something every exerciser or trainee dreads — DOMS. 

DOMS or delayed-onset muscle soreness is a type of muscle soreness that occurs 24 to 48 hours after your workout. It happens because of the microtears in your muscles, which can result in stiffness and pain that can linger for up to 48 hours. 

DOMS often subsides on its own, but there are times when it can linger past the 48-hour mark. When it does, it’s a sign that your muscles are struggling to keep up. 

How Compression Gear Can Enhance Your Post-Workout Recovery 

NOT ALL COMPRESSION GARMENTS ARE MADE FROM THE CORRET FABRIC  to give you these benefits.  You have to read and understand what to buy.” 

As mentioned, successfully recovering from workouts requires three things: 

• Promoting blood floor within the muscles 
• Controlling swelling 
• Creating a physiological environment to alleviate muscle fatigue 

Compression gear can help with all of the above, and it has worked wonders for trainees, from casual exercisers to even Olympic athletes. 

Let’s dive deep into how compression gear can enhance your post-workout recovery. 

Compression Gear Promotes Blood Circulation 

SWEAT IT OUT® with COOL COMPRESSION® Technology differs from other sportswear in all the right ways. Here are the promises of every garment. 

Improved Proprioception 

Proprioception, which many call the body’s “sixth sense,” is the ability to perceive your body’s position and movement in any space. Sensory receptors in your tissues send feedback to the brain, helping coordination and balance. Through proprioception, you move with grace and efficiency. 

Since SWEAT IT OUT® with COOL COMPRESSION® Technology brings constant and targeted compression, it heightens your sensory awareness. By supporting alignment and muscle activation, you feel and control your every action better. 

Refined Movement Accuracy 

COOL COMPRESSION® Technology allows the fabric to move with you, never against you. As such, your body is boundless, free to execute any movement without stress or obstruction. With consistent compression, your muscles also stay aligned and engaged, further refining your accuracy. 

Better “Mechanical Spring” Effect 

SWEAT IT OUT®’s apparel effectively helps you store and release energy as needed. The stretchable fabric lets you jump higher, lift heavier objects, and dramatically improve athletic capabilities. Work out longer because fatigue sets in much later! 

Reduced Muscle Vibration 

Muscle vibration, or the involuntary oscillation of muscle fibers during physical activity, results from impact forces or rapid, repetitive movements. It’s natural to some degree, but excessive vibration forces muscles to expend more energy to stabilize. Consequently, you tire faster and increase the chances of injury. 

With COOL COMPRESSION® Technology’s innovations in fabric and design, your muscles do not have to exert as much effort. You can do more repetitions and run longer distances without straining them. 

Cardiovascular System Boost 

COOL COMPRESSION® Technology comes with wicking properties, allowing sweat to escape from the fabric and dry quickly. This feature helps you keep a body temperature close to 98.6°, optimizing your cardiovascular function. 

The better your cardiovascular system works, the better blood flow you have, and the more oxygen your muscles receive for improved performance. This effect also reduces swelling and promotes faster recovery, giving all body parts you used everything they need to recharge.
