Compression

Compression

Compression clothing has become widely popular in sports. Have you ever wondered why compression garments are worn by all the professionals in sports?

The compression acts almost like a low-level massage, putting pressure on muscles to minimize delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Compression garments raise the temperature of the skin and tissues to increase blood flow and promote healing, the same way that heat therapy does.

Wearing compression shirts  can provide better support and stabilize your body parts as you train. As you exercise, the compression garments will add pressure to your muscles and support some of the strain.

Such pressure helps your blood circulation, which supports the recovery process as you exercise.

Compression gear like tank tops are mostly made of polyester or nylon related materials, which help you dry faster after you sweat.

These clothes do not repel the water, but they are able to lift the water upward from the fabric so that the sweat can be brought to the surface of the clothing for evaporation.
