Wearing Compression Gear is the Key to Recovery

June 8, 2015

After playing a long sports game or exercising for hours, many individuals may feel extremely tired, fatigued, or drained. There a variety of techniques to counteract the lack of strength and power that strenuous exercise can cause. One of the most valuable active wear types for post-workout recovery is compression gear. Many skeptics may argue that compression garments do not help the body with exercise, but this is statement is not true. Compression shorts, socks, bras, tights, shirts and more succeed in improving the body and performance when it comes to being active. 

Less Pain but Still Gain
How many times have you felt sore after a rough workout? With the right fitting compression gear, your body won’t feel as painful after exercise. This is because compression apparel has the ability to reduce muscle pain and swelling by supporting the body. The material of the garments bounces back the body’s power and strength, unlike other workout clothing. The material hugs and supports the muscles to prevent them from vibrating too much, which is what causes the body to be less sore and more energized after a long workout.

Backed Up by Valid Research
One of the best uses for compression apparel is recovery! According to the research study conducted by the International Journal of Sports Performance and Physiology in 2013, compression clothing that is worn after a workout has little to moderate effects on the recovery of the body. Another study in 2012 done by New Zealand researchers in 2012 showed that rugby players recovered much faster in terms of running and sprinting when they wore compression apparel compared to athletes who didn’t wear compression clothing.
