Benefits of compression garments
There are two elements to a quality compression product. First is the general containment which applies external pressure to the muscle groups, the second is an encouraged venous return achieved by a graduated pressure reducing from the limb extremity back toward the torso/heart. This second cardiovascular consideration separates out the quality compression garments from the general pack.
The key benefits believed to be associated with a high quality compression garment are:
1. Improved recovery post exercise deriving from both the enhanced circulation and lactate flushing as well containment and pressure encouraging a faster muscle repair process
2. Muscle stability which reduces fatigue during exercise through reduced muscle oscillation. With muscle vibration the body expends energy trying to stabilize the muscle group.
There are a number of other less documented but still claimed compression benefits that include:
- enhanced agility through better proprioception (the bodies understanding from receptors as to where limbs are replaced)
- reduced injury risk through muscle containment and wrapping which reduces soft tissue damage from impact in contact sports
- improved circulation leading to faster muscle warm up and even improved oxygen circulation
A quality compression garment is not just a good tool for training and recovery, but is also advisable as a travel/flight tool to prevent the onset of DVT and reduce the stiffness associated with long haul flights and the cramped environment
