Best Compression Leggings
What are compression tights?
Store Medicinske Leksikon defines compression as a squeezing, which in a medical sense can be part of a treatment or a consequence of injury or illness. Compression leggings are simply clothing that fits tightly to the body, often described as "an extra layer of skin." The purpose of compression leggings is that the clothing fits so tightly that it "compresses" the veins closest to the skin, which provides several health benefits.
Do compression leggings work?
Many clothing manufacturers tend to exaggerate when marketing the benefits of their compression wear, for example by saying things like "compression clothes help you run faster and get stronger." An article from forskning.no tells us that this is not entirely true.
The truth, according to another article from forskning.no, is that compression clothing compresses the veins closest to the skin, so that the deeper veins get more blood. This helps increase the blood flow back to the heart, which means the heart fills with more blood between each heartbeat. This helps prevent and treat inflammation, varicose veins, and swollen calves. In addition, compression leggings are suitable for lipedema.
Are compression leggings worth it?
Absolutely! Compression leggings are fantastic to wear on longer runs, ski trips, or similar activities. Although compression leggings do not necessarily have a direct impact on how fast you run or how strong you are, they provide a number of health benefits that help you avoid and prevent injuries from training. Our compression leggings are not transparent and are therefore squat proof.
Additionally, compression leggings can indirectly affect your performance. Compression leggings can make you both feel sportier and look sportier, which can greatly influence your motivation to train. Because of this, you might be able to push yourself a bit harder than usual? đ
