Zensah Compression sleeves
If you have not tried compression sleeves or sock and you are a runner, triathlete or cyclist you are missing out!
The use of compression clothing such as socks, sleeves, shorts and tights has become increasingly widespread amongst athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Injury prevention, style, fit and viable reports of performance and recovery enhancement are all reasons cited for its use. I have as well read lots of scientific reports about the performance increase and benefits, but personally I am all about recovery. Zensah compression sleeves help aid in the blood flow to the calfs helping to rid muscles of that pesky soreness.
The Calf/Shin Recovery Sleeves are made with gradient compression which provides wide ribbing in the front for shin support and tight ribbing in the back for calf support. Pay attention to this ribbing as it will play a role in how the sleeves feel.
The sleeves are made with Zensah Fabric which has silver helping to regulate skin temperature and fight bacteria. The sleeves can be worn during training or for recovery to increase oxygen blood flow to the muscles of the lower leg. The more oxygen the muscles receive the faster they recover, allowing athletes to push the envelope in their training. The Zensah Calf/Shin sleeve is ideal for runners, cyclists and triathletes and anyone else who is on their feet. It can be worn during training, recovery or for traveling.
Compared to most things in the sports of running, cycling and such they come in at a pretty reasonable cost of $40.00. The nice thing is that if using them for recovery they do not wear out
