First, what are the benefits of compression clothing for sports

1, compression

Compression equipment exerts appropriate pressure on different parts of the body, which can promote blood circulation and increase the oxygen supply of muscles. Not only can it improve muscle strength and muscle movement stability, but it can also reduce muscle fatigue, reduce the risk of injury, better protect the legs, and prevent cramps.

2, muscle support

The extra pressure provided by the compression equipment can wrap and support the key sports muscle groups, help reduce muscle vibration, make exercise more efficient, and make movements more agile.

3, keep warm

If you only wear a pair of shorts for running in cold weather, the probability of cramps and injuries will be particularly high. In cold or windy days, the compression underwear has good fit, can effectively resist the cold without affecting the flexibility of exercise, and has a good warmth retention effect. If you feel that a compression garment or a pair of compression pants is not warm enough, you can add a coat or loose sweatpants on the outside.

4, guide sweat

Compression pants are generally made of elastic, quick-drying fabrics, so they have excellent perspiration and breathability. After the sweat is discharged in winter, it will air dry on the surface of the fabric, and the fabric also acts as an isolation layer to prevent the sweat from taking away the body surface heat when it is dried by the cold wind. Therefore, it can play a role in regulating body temperature during exercise, and can also replace 'long trousers' as a warmth or bottom layer during exercise.

5, body recovery

Compression underwear can increase the vitality of muscle groups, accelerate the excretion of body metabolites in the muscles, reduce the accumulation of lactic acid, and promote the recovery of the body in a short time. Therefore, foreign athletes often wear compression underwear after the game to help their body recover.

2. Can compression clothes be worn daily?

Compression clothing is not suitable for daily wear. The design principle of the compression garment is to increase venous blood return, improve blood circulation, and reduce muscle vibration during exercise. After wearing compression garments, the body can be more integrated, especially when the muscles are fatigued. After putting on the compression garment, the swing range of the muscles can be fixed, so some ineffective vibrations can be avoided and the extra burden on the body can be avoided.

Because of the support effect, compression garments are generally tightly knitted. Although they can support muscles during exercise, they will burden the body due to the supporting force in daily life. Wearing compression garments will Obviously I feel very tight, and the sense of restraint is very strong, which affects the normal blood circulation of the body and makes the body bear several times more pressure than usual. Therefore, it is not recommended to wear it in daily life.
