    Compression running socks

    Compression running socks - reliable models available in the Sportano shopIn the world of endurance sports such as running, every detail can influence the results achieved. One of the latest trends among runners are compression socks. They are not just a fashion accessory, but a tool that can help improve performance and reduce recovery time.Mechanism of action: how does compression affect the legs of the runner?Compression is a technique that involves exerting constant pressure on specific parts of the body. In the case of compression socks, this pressure is mainly directed at the lower legs. But how exactly does it work? Firstly, compression aids blood circulation. When running, the leg muscles work intensively, which increases the demand for oxygen. The improved circulation that results from wearing compression socks allows for faster transport of oxygen to the muscles and more efficient removal of metabolic products such as lactic acid, which is one of the main culprits of feeling tired and sore muscles after exercise. Reducing muscle vibration is another key to understanding the mechanism of compression. When we run, our muscles vibrate and shake with each step. These vibrations, although invisible to the naked eye, can contribute to premature fatigue. Compression socks, by stabilising the muscles, reduce these vibrations, allowing runners to run longer and more comfortably.Advantages of using compression socks while running runningBeing one of the most popular sports, running poses many challenges to participants, from muscle fatigue to circulation problems. Compression socks are becoming an integral piece of equipment for many runners, both amateur and professional. But why? What are the benefits of wearing compression socks while running? Improved blood circulation: the most important benefit is definitely support for the circulatory system. Compression helps to improve blood flow, which translates into faster delivery of oxygen to working muscles. Improved circulation also helps to remove toxins from the muscles faster, which can delay the feeling of fatigue. Reducing swelling: after an intense workout, many people experience some degree of swelling in their legs. Compression socks can help reduce this swelling by speeding up the recovery process. Reducing the risk of blood clots: improving blood circulation can also help reduce the risk of blood clots, which can be dangerous, especially after prolonged exercise. Muscle support: compression can also act as muscle support, reducing the vibrations that occur during running. These vibrations can lead to premature muscle fatigue and pain. Prevention of chafing: compression socks are usually made of moisture-wicking materials, which can help reduce perspiration and prevent chafing. Longer and more comfortable runs: many people report that with compression socks they are able to run longer and with more comfort. Although experiences may vary from person to person, many people find that wearing compression socks gives them an advantage. How to choose the perfect compression socks: key criteriaChoosing compression socks should not be done at random. There are several key factors to consider. Compression level is the first and most important step. As mentioned earlier, the optimum level for most runners is between 20 and 30 mmHg. However, it's worth paying attention to whether a particular manufacturer is quoting actual compression values. The material of the socks is of paramount importance. The ideal material should be stretchy, breathable and moisture-wicking. Materials such as polyester, nylon or spandex are often used for compression socks because of their elastic and sweat-wicking properties. The length of the sock is a matter of individual preference. Some runners prefer knee-length socks that offer compression to the entire calf, while others prefer shorter models that focus on the ankle area. Ultimately, the seams and construction of the socks matter too. The seams should be flat to avoid chafing, and the construction of the socks should offer extra support in strategic areas such as the arch of the foot. When choosing compression socks, it's also a good idea to pay attention to other runners' reviews and, if possible, test a few different models to find the one that's perfect for you.
