Compression sleeves provide your arms, calves, thighs, knees and elbows with the compression and support you need to optimize athletic performance. They will stabilize and support the muscles to improve co-ordination and increase force and endurance.
Well designed compression sleeves will also wick away sweat. By doing so, they will provide the ventilation the body needs to maintain appropriate temperature for optimal comfort.
Another benefit of high performance compression sleeves is an increase in proprioception i.e. the ability to instinctively sense the relative positions of adjacent parts of the body and to detect when these positions pose the risk of injury.
Proprioception reduces the risk of injury for an athlete who is making sudden and explosive movements, possibly in response to similar movements of an opponent. The brain will use proprioceptive information to protect parts of the body that may be at risk e.g. by preventing relative positions of body parts that pose the risk of injury.
A fourth benefit offered by compression sleeves is accelerated muscle recovery from the last bout of strenuous activity.They do this by helping the blood to circulate more quickly. This in turn means that the sore and tired muscles receive more frequent infusions of freshly oxygenated and nutrient rich blood. As a result, these muscles can recover more quickly and be ready for the next workout or training session.
Probably the three most important situations in which compression sleeves should be considered are:
The answer to this question is yes – definitely.Especially if your job is a physically demanding one, you stand to benefit from wearing compression sleeves while working. Some examples:
If you can sleep while wearing your compression sleeve, this is certainly something to consider. The muscle restoration and circulation benefits mentioned above are just as effective at night as during the daytime.
