Description

Compression Jackets are pieces of clothing that fit tightly around the skin. In medical contexts, Compression Jackets provide support for people who have to stand for long periods or have poor circulation. These come in varying degrees of compression, and higher sleeves. Compression Jackets worn on the legs can help prevent deep vein thrombosis and reduce swelling, especially while traveling.

One small study of compression shorts found no change in sprint time but found some gait changes that might reduce injuries. Another study of calf sleeves found no change in sprint times and gait; larger reviews have found no evidence that compression garments can improve athletic performance beyond the placebo effect.

They are form-fitting garments and when worn, cover the athlete’s waist to mid or lower thigh, similar to cycling shorts. Hurdler in full compression uniform many are available with a cup pocket. It is arguable that compression shorts do not keep cups in the proper position. Some players wear compression shorts over the traditional jockstrap.

Compression garments have been shown to help athletes during the active recovery process. Research shows that following a high-intensity treadmill workout, compression garments helped to decrease the heart rate and lactic acid buildup in athletes. According to a study by Duffield R. and M. Portis, although there were few observed changes during their event, cricket players wearing compression garments showed fewer blood markers of muscle damage and reported less soreness during the 24-hour post-workout period. Other studies have supported the idea that compression garments are effective in reducing post-workout declines in jump height, minimizing strength loss, decreasing swelling, and easing muscle soreness after the competition.
