What Do Compression Calf Sleeves Do?

Compression calf sleeves create support for your calf muscles and decrease the amount of muscular vibration. This reduces muscle fatigue you may experience during exercise. With the decreased muscle fatigue you should experience  improved athletic endurance and recovery.

Benefits of Compression Calf Sleeves  - Backed by Science 

Ideally, the more oxygenated blood that your heart can supply to your muscles, the better your muscles can function. Studies show that to achieve and maintain this, wearing compression allows for the walls of your arteries to dilate and increase your blood flow.

The increase in circulatory efficiency is what drives all of the benefits and here some reasons you might want to consider it for your training and recovery:

Improved Athletic Endurance & Performance

With the gentle and graduated pressure from the medical grade compression, it boosts blood circulation, which increases oxygenated blood and nutrients that feeds your muscles during exercises. This enhancement powers you throughout your workout and in nearly any sport. It also creates support for your muscles and decrease the amount of muscular vibration. This reduces the muscle fatigue you may experience during exercise.

We recommend to use calf sleeves during endurance training, cardio exercises or distance sports like running and cycling.

Recovery

After a workout, calf compression sleeves are used to boost the levels of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and eases muscle fatigue. It also decreases swelling and soreness in the lower leg as it removes the lactic build-up and boosts the lymphatic drainage. Medical grade compression helps you to recover quickly as it flushes out the lactic acids and re-circulates back to the heart. 
 

Prevention of Injuries

Calf arm sleeves can be beneficial for preventing shin splints, calf cramps and strains, but they are not used for existing injuries. With the gentle compression on the muscles, it increases blood flow to the area which reduces the stress on the calf muscles. This effectively prevents any swelling or tension on your muscles.

 

Misconception of Compression Sleeves

The misconception which is often associated with compression garments is that they are only used for injury ridden athletes or for high intensity training - which is not true! The effectiveness, safety, pressure distribution, and retention of the compression garments are important aspects that have significant effects on the health of all users, rendering these products perfect for all consumers!
