    Compression garments for running

    Clothing Compression running clothing - reliable solutions available from SportanoThe compression garment has become an integral piece of equipment for many runners, both amateur and professional. It is characterised by being snug against the body, made of elastic materials and able to exert a certain amount of pressure on certain parts of the body. But where has its popularity in the running community come from and why is it so highly regarded? In the Compression Running Clothing category of the Sportano sports shop, you will find high-quality fashions from tried-and-tested manufacturers such as HUUB, CEP, ASICS, Nike and La Sportiva.The mechanism of how compression works: How it works.The main idea behind compression garments is to promote blood circulation by exerting a certain amount of pressure on specific areas of the body. When muscles work, especially during intense exercise, they produce soreness and other metabolic waste. With compression, the process of removing them from the muscles into the bloodstream is accelerated, which contributes to faster recovery and less muscle soreness after exercise. In addition, exerting pressure on the blood vessels speeds up blood flow, which means that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the muscles more efficiently.Benefits of wearing compression garmentsCompression garments are not just a fashion accessory. Its properties have real benefits for runners: Faster recovery: thanks to improved circulation, muscles recover faster after exercise, which is crucial for those who train regularly. Reduced risk of injury: compression stabilises muscles and reduces the risk of muscle strain or injury. Increased performance: better circulation means better oxygen delivery to the muscles, which can contribute to longer time to exhaustion during running. Reduced muscle vibration: when running, muscles vibrate, which can lead to fatigue. Compression garments reduce these vibrations, allowing muscles to work more efficiently. Thermal comfort: many compression garments are also designed to provide thermoregulation, meaning that they help to keep the body at an optimum temperature, regardless of external conditions. Types of compression garments available for runnersCompression garments have gained a lot of popularity among runners, which has contributed to the development of a wide range of products to suit different needs. The variety of options available allows every runner to find something for themselves and tailor their choice to individual requirements. Compression socks and gaiters: one of the most popular items of compression clothing are socks and gaiters. Concentrated on the calf area, they aim to speed up muscle recovery in this part of the body and prevent varicose veins. It is worth looking out for socks with different levels of compression, adapted to the intensity of the workout. Compression shirts and tops: these items of clothing focus on supporting the muscles of the upper body, such as the chest, back and shoulder muscles. In this way, they help to reduce muscle vibration during running and increase performance. Compression shorts and leggings: provide support for leg and buttock muscles, which can be key in preventing injury and speeding up recovery after training. Compression sleeves: these are elastic 'sleeves' that are worn on the forearms. They can be used when a runner wants the benefits of compression on the arms but does not want to wear a full compression shirt. Thigh compression straps: special straps that are worn on the thighs are designed to provide support for large muscle groups, which can help reduce the risk of injury and speed up recovery after exercise. When you decide to buy compression garments, it is worth paying attention to their exact fit. A garment that is too loose will not support the muscles effectively, while one that is too tight can interfere with circulation. It is therefore important to be guided by manufacturers' sizing charts and possibly consult an expert before purchasing.Materials and technologies used in compression garments compression garmentsCompression garments have become one of the most important pieces of equipment for athletes, mainly due to the innovative materials and technologies that are used in them. In the field of sportswear, there are many advanced materials that offer not only compression properties, but also many other benefits. The vast majority of compression garments are made from synthetic fibres such as polyester, nylon or spandex. These materials provide the level of elasticity needed to exert pressure on the muscles, while also providing comfort and durability. However, the key to the effectiveness of compression fabrics is the precise weaving that allows for different levels of compression in different areas of the garment, depending on your needs. Today's compression garments are also equipped with technologies to provide thermoregulation. The materials are designed to wick sweat away from the skin, helping to keep the body at the right temperature regardless of weather conditions. This keeps the runner feeling dry and comfortable, regardless of the intensity of the workout or the prevailing climate. Another important feature of many modern compression fabrics is their ability to protect against UV rays, which is crucial for runners training outdoors. Additionally, many compression garments are now finished with anti-microbial technology to help combat odours. There are also innovative technologies on the market, such as mineral-enriched fibres that aim to reflect heat energy back into the body, which can help improve performance and faster muscle recovery.
