Compression garments
We've all heard about compression garments, but do they really work? Here's some information that I found that may help answer that question. 1. In a study by researchers at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, athletes who did sprints in compression garments reported 43% lower soreness in 24 hours than their counterparts who wore normal training gear. 2. According to German researchers at the University of Erlangen-Numerg, runners who wore knee high compression socks ran as much as 6.1% faster on a treadmill than those who wore regular running socks. 3. According to a study by Melbourne's Deakin and Victoria University's, the elasticity of a long sleeved compression top gives you more control as you extend your arms. 4. The Sydney Campus of the Australian Catholic University claims that athletes in compression pants covered up to 34% more distance at faster speeds. The pants help you conserve energy.
