🦵 Benefits of Compression Clothing

What They Do

Compression garments create uniform pressure — usually higher at the end of the limb and decreasing upward. In practice, this means:

• less muscle vibration and emptiness after impact workouts;
• better return of circulation from the legs to the heart;
• subjectively less pain and faster “recovery” after training;
• on long trips (flights, competition travel) — lower risk of leg swelling.

It is important to be honest: regarding performance results (strength, endurance), scientific findings are conflicting — in some areas the effect is clearer (subjective well-being, swelling), in others it is small or absent.

🎯 For Whom and When

📏 How to Choose

• Size according to measurements, not by regular clothing size — compression works only when properly fitted.
• Pressure in mm Hg: light (10–15), medium (15–20), strong (20–30+). For sport, usually medium; strong pressure (medical) should be used only with a specialist's recommendation.
• Material — elastic, breathable; seams must not press.
• Wash Cool, without detergents with bleaches — elasticity weakens over time.

⚠️ When Not to Wear

• Sensitive skin conditions (damaged skin, rashes in that area).
• Diagnosed arterial circulation problem — a doctor's opinion is needed.
• If numbness, bluish discoloration, or severe pain occurs while wearing — compression is too strong, take it off.
• Do not buy into “stronger = better” — excessive pressure can be harmful.
