Compression wear refers to clothing that is designed to fit snugly and provide support to specific areas of the body, typically the muscles and joints. The pressure applied by compression wear is meant to improve circulation, reduce muscle vibration, and enhance athletic performance.
Compression wear is often made of stretchy, moisture-wicking fabrics that fit tightly to the skin and provide graduated compression, with the highest level of compression at the furthest point from the heart. This helps to increase blood flow and reduce muscle fatigue during and after physical activity.
Common types of compression wear include:
- Compression socks or stockings
- Compression shorts or pants
- Compression shirts or tops
- Compression sleeves for arms or legs
- Compression gloves for hands
Compression wear is commonly used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals with conditions such as varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis, but it may also be useful for anyone who wants to improve their athletic performance or reduce muscle soreness. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before using compression wear to ensure it is appropriate for your needs and to ensure proper fit.
