Running compression bands on offer in the shop
SportanoBeing one of the most intense sports, running presents many challenges to runners. Although running provides many health benefits, it also carries a certain risk of injury, especially with regular and intense training. This is where compression bands come to the rescue, designed to support the runner and optimise their performance.
In the Compression Bands category of the Sportano shop you will find high-quality models from the CEP brand.Materials and technologies used in compression bandsCompression Bands
compression bandsCompression bands, which are becoming increasingly popular among runners, use advanced materials and technologies to ensure maximum comfort and efficiency. Among the materials, synthetic blends such as polyester and spandex are the most common, providing the right degree of flexibility and being able to maintain a consistent level of compression. These fabrics are also breathable, allowing the skin to breathe and preventing excessive sweating during intense exercise.
Modern technology in the manufacture of compression bands allows for gradient compression. This means that the degree of compression varies in different areas of the band, providing the most support where it is needed most. This allows runners to experience the benefits of compression without experiencing discomfort.
Another important feature of many compression bands is moisture management technology. The materials are designed to attract moisture from the surface of the skin and conduct it to the outside of the band, where it can evaporate quickly. This works to the runner's advantage as it helps keep the skin dry and prevents chafing.
Seamless technology, or seamless technology, is the next step in the development of compression bands. It makes the bands even more comfortable, eliminating the risk of chafing caused by seams.
In the era of smart technology, some compression bands are even equipped with integrated sensors that monitor the runner's performance and send data to a smartphone app, allowing the runner to track and analyse their performance in real time.Key benefits of using bands while runningUsing compression bands while running has become commonplace among professional and amateur runners thanks to their many benefits:
Muscle and joint support: compression bands act as muscle support, reducing vibration during running. This helps reduce the risk of micro-injuries and injuries that can occur during long runs.
Improved circulation: compression aids blood flow, which in turn speeds up muscle recovery after exercise. Improved blood flow can also improve running performance by delivering more oxygen to working muscles.
Reduce fatigue: by supporting the muscles, bands can help delay the feeling of fatigue during intense training.
Injury protection: by better supporting and stabilising muscles and joints, bands can also reduce the risk of injury, such as sprains or strains.
Temperature regulation: many runners experience the benefits of thermoregulation when the bands help keep muscles at their optimum temperature, regardless of weather conditions.
Types of compression bands: from knees to calvesCompression bands have taken many forms to meet the diverse needs of runners:
Calf bands: these are the most commonly used among runners. They offer support for the calf muscles, which are particularly prone to strain during running.
Knee bands: with concentrated support around the knees, these bands help to minimise the discomfort and pain associated with knee injuries such as painful patella syndrome.
Thigh and hip bands: these bands are less common, but can help runners who experience pain in the thigh and hip areas. They can also improve hip stability during running.
Ankle bands: these bands help to stabilise the ankle joint and can be particularly useful for runners with unstable ankles or for those who are returning to running after injury.
When choosing the right compression bands, it is worth paying attention to their type, but also to the material and technology used in their manufacture. The right band can significantly improve running comfort and efficiency.
