Compression Sleeves

Although compression sleeves may not seem to be the main pieces of sports gear, wearing them is beneficial to any athlete. They are intended to increase blood circulation efficiency, which is essential to improving an athlete’s performance during an exercise or game and reducing muscle pain and recovery time after physical activity. As blood is circulated throughout your body, the cells use oxygen and nutrients that it carries, and then depleted blood flows back to your heart through the veins to get oxygenated from the lungs. As the blood returns, it also carries away lactic acid and waste products.

By applying slight pressure to your calves or arms, compression sleeves boost the circulation supplying the muscles and tissues with oxygen-laden blood. This also helps reduce muscle soreness and pain after a workout. Arm and leg sleeves can be effective at reducing swelling, preventing or reducing injury, and keeping you warm. They can also be used as sun protection, and because these sleeves are made from special moisture-wicking, breathable fabrics, they can help combat perspiration and odors. Whether you’re a novice doing general exercise like running or jogging or a pro who competes at a high level, we have the right compression sleeves for you!
