Compression is becoming a slightly overused term: just because a shirt is tight doesn’t make it compression. In most cases, this is a pair of socks, or calf sleeves, or even shirts and shorts. What is compression? Why is compression important?Ĭompression generally refers to any fabric or clothing that restricts muscle movement. We won’t get into the testimonials of all the athletes, but you can check out some of their thoughts at the CompresSport Athletes page. Some of these athletes wear CompresSport before, during, and after the race and some, like Chrissie, don’t use them during the actual race. CompresSport gear is worn by some of the top folks in the sport: Tim Berkel, Mitch Anderson, and Chrissie Wellington. By the third IM, they were at 181, or about 12% of the field. In their debut appearance in an Ironman event, CompresSport fielded 70 participants wearing their gear. CompresSport isn’t the largest or most well-known manufacturer of compression gear, but that seems to be changing pretty quickly. You might find them at trade shows and they are available online from the CompresSport EStore, based in Australia. There are limited opportunities to purchase these products within the States. Today, we’re going to look at the first of two products from CompresSport, the CompresSport ForQuad Compression Sleeve for your quads.
