Compression garments: what do athletes use them for?

When practicing sports, it is common to experience discomfort in the legs and feet due to physical exertion. These pains may be due to various factors, such as muscle overload, poor posture, inadequate footwear or lack of proper warm-up. To prevent or alleviate these discomforts, it is important to take certain measures such as the use of compression garments.

Among them, an effective option for the legs are compression shorts, which help improve blood circulation and reduce muscle fatigue. These tight-fitting garments provide support to the muscles, improve recovery after exercise and reduce the risk of injury. They also maintain proper body temperature and promote the elimination of toxins. But in addition to compression tights, there are other compression garments that prevent or help recover from muscle injuries. In this post, we will explain what athletes use compression shorts for, as well as long pants, compression socks, compression calf sleeves, and compression ankle socks to avoid and prevent injuries and discomfort.

What are compression shorts and what are they used for?

Compression shorts are tight-fitting garments that are used in sports to improve performance and muscle recovery. These garments apply graduated pressure to the muscles, which helps improve blood circulation, reduce muscle vibration and the risk of injury, and increase the feeling of support and stability.

Athletes wear compression shorts during and after exercise to improve muscle efficiency, especially in sports such as soccer. Knapman compression shorts are already used by professional soccer players in top leagues, as they also accelerate recovery, reduce fatigue and improve overall comfort during physical activity.
