- Body Efficiency - Our muscle fibers fire faster and more consistently when under compression. Further, the squeezing pressure on the muscle system results in proper joint mechanics and muscle orchestration.
- Less Lactic Acid Build-up - Wearing compression gear increases the clearing of metabolites, such as blood lactate from muscle tissue. Lower lactic acid levels translate to better performance, since muscles are less likely to stiffen up or cramp.
- Reduced Inflammation- Compression is proven to decrease inflammation in the body, it reduces swelling by restricting the flow of blood and other fluids to the injured area.
- Faster Recovery - The quick removal of metabolites speeds up recovery. Athletes wearing compression gear experience less muscle pain and inflammation after a training session or activity.
