The Benefits of Compression

At Foot Tools, we carry a variety of compression apparel and accessories to help our customers with rest and recovery. Not just for sports, compression wear can assist with circulation problems from diabetes, varicose veins, blood clots and flying.  Here’s a brief look at what Sugoi has to say about compression and what it can do for you:

Faster Recovery

Enhanced circulation assists the removal of post activity build-up of lactic acid collected in muscle tissue. Improved circulation combined with enhanced muscle stabilization for reduced muscle damage all assist in speeding recovery.

Reduced Fatigue and Enhanced Muscle Stability

Targeted muscle groups are isolated and fully encapsulated, resulting in muscle vibration reduction. The muscle group is stabilized by the garments, resulting in less immediate fatigue and reduced chance of injury.

Improved Circulation

Race + Recovery garments help pump blood back to the heart, allowing for more efficient distribution of oxygen. Improved circulation results in the removal of by-products of muscle exertion such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which commonly cause cramps and discomfort.

Improved Accuracy & Efficiency of Movement

SUGOI Race + Recovery garments improve accuracy and efficiency of movement. This can lead to improved performance across a range of sports, including a more efficient:

Position on the bicycle,
Running stride,
Swimming stroke.
