Compression Sportswear

About compression sportswear started talking not so long ago, but in such a short period of its existence, it quickly gained popularity and spread to almost all sports. We could not afford to avoid such an interesting topic.

Underwear with the effect of squeezing created a real sensation in the sportswear market. Each athlete considers it his duty to dress in compression clothing before starting training. There are several reasons why compression clothing is so important and even necessary for active people.

• The hygienic side of the issue is in close contact with sports equipment, which can cause the formation of skin diseases, irritation of the body, burns. The presence of antimicrobial impregnation, which is not present in all models, will inhibit the multiplication of bacteria.

Increased workout performance and accelerated recovery from injury / illness. This advantage is based on the ability of linen to improve blood flow, saturate tissues and muscles with oxygen, which leads to an increase in endurance and efficiency of the organism as a whole. The choice of compression sports underwear allows you to muffle the body's production of lactic acid, as well as alleviate the pain in the muscles.

• Thermoregulation is ensured by the high density of the compression material and the good fit of the body. At the same time, there is an air gap between the laundry and the body, which is responsible for maintaining the thermal effect. This feature leads to the constant support of the muscles in a heated position, and therefore the risk of injury is significantly less than without the use of such special clothes.

• The ease of linen makes it imperceptible and imperceptible, which contributes to the comfort and convenience of sports.

• Moisture permeability is not the ability to absorb moisture, which is completely inappropriate for an athlete. This concept implies the extraction of moisture outside and its further evaporation.

• The design, although not the main factor when choosing sportswear compression type, but still even in training you want to be beautiful, bright and expressive. Sport is not a hindrance to beauty. It is very important that the drawings are sublimated into the material of the linen, made with the help of hypoallergenic paints that are resistant to external influences.

• Wear is ensured by the use of very durable and well stretching synthetic fabrics. But you can spoil such a product if you treat it incorrectly and break the rules of care.

One type of compression garment is boring and extremely impractical. Designers are actively working to create a wide variety of this sportswear.

• Clothing with protective inserts effectively distributes the impact force that occurs during a collision or fall. This reduces the chance of bruises.

• Lingerie has a seamless structure, and the design of the strapless does not allow them to bump into the skin, saving the woman from discomfort.

• Bras there are several types, depending on what intensity will be the load during training or occupations of a particular sport. In any case, a compression bra supports the chest and protects it from bruises.

• T-shirts are the most common type of compression sports underwear.Recovery models with long sleeves are most often chosen by men, whose workouts imply a heavy load on the arms and upper shoulder girdle. In such underwear is better to do on the street, and for the gym there are T-shirts without sleeves or tops.

• Tights, capris, shorts of various lengths - all these types of linen are used to protect the lower body.

• Socks and leggings are actively used by runners who want to protect their feet from swelling, painful tension and other troubles.

• Warming clothes or thermal underwear maintains a constant temperature in the body, which provides protection for muscles from sprains and injuries.

Squeezing effect in compression underwear is provided through the use of knitwear, created on the basis of synthetic material. Compression underwear can be created on the basis of the following materials:

• polyester;
• polymers have the ability to drain, give the finished product durability and strength indicators;
• Lycra or elastane provides lingerie with a squeezing effect, for which it is so valued, gives you the opportunity to stretch and take on the old size.

When it comes to sportswear, in the first place, everyone remembers Adidas. As the manufacturer claims, compression clothing not only has the ability to compress the body, but also to wipe off moisture and keep the temperature within the normal range. There is one doubtful factor that misleads a potential buyer: many models are positioned as compression garments and thermal underwear. Versatility in this case is not good for Adidas products.

A serious competitor to the previous brand is Nike, which also included compression underwear in its product range. This manufacturer was able to create a unique product, the list of characteristics of which includes the ability to improve blood circulation, retain heat, maintain temperature and drain moisture. Issues of style Nike does not take to the background, trying to constantly present a unique product with an exclusive design. Nike sportswear is advertised by world stars trying to convince us of the high quality of this product. But do they wear it themselves? The question remains open.

In addition to such world leaders in the field of sportswear, 2XU, Bad Boy, Venum and Under Armor offer their products. They are not so popular and advertised, but their compression underwear is no worse than in quality; it has a bright design and a wide functional set.

Only properly selected compression garment will allow you to feel its benefits and use one set for a long time. Covering should be tight, but without excesses, so that the clothes do not crack at the seams, do not pinch the body and do not create excessive pressure. But also it is not necessary to choose the big size as such purchase will be senseless. Trying clothes before buying will be very useful. Choosing the appropriate size, you can navigate the size grid, which coincides with the standard. Typically, laundry sizes start at S and go up to XXL.

A common mistake of many is the choice of linen for size smaller. In this case, classes will be associated with discomfort, excessive pressure on the body and a decrease in flexibility.

The quality of the material is a very important parameter that determines the durability of the product, its performance, hypoallergenicity and ability to give comfort. Many manufacturers provide quality certificates certifying the high level of the product.You are entitled to require the seller to provide such a document.

It's hard to believe, but compression clothing has a century of history. It was originally used for healing and restorative purposes. Currently, in hospitals during the post-traumatic period, when a person has undergone a difficult operation, stockings / socks made of compression material are prescribed. Such clothes helped many people to restore their health, to return to their former physical form, to avoid the formation of blockage of blood vessels. This information allows you to dispel the opinion of the far-fetchedness of all the advantages and features inherent in compression garments.

Such underwear can not be used for everyday wear. If the body is dressed in special clothes with a compression effect, then it should be constantly in motion. Otherwise, you can cause serious irregularities in the work of the cardiovascular system. Another contraindication applies to people who are overweight. Compressive underwear can be more harm than good, so consulting a doctor and an experienced trainer will be a mandatory step before going for the purchase of such clothes.

You also can not use compression underwear in the presence of venous blockage, blood clots and cardiac arrhythmias. Such a contraindication is based on the features of the listed diseases, which require dilation of the vessels, and not their contraction.

It will be extremely difficult to find negative reviews regarding the correctly selected high-quality linen. Often such reviews arise because of the choice of poor-quality / fake linen, ignoring contraindications and not sticking to the rules for choosing these special clothes for sports.
