Compression Garments
Compression garments may reduce perceived soreness and swelling after hard training. They supplement—not replace—sleep, fueling, and load control.
Compression garments are tights, socks, or sleeves applying graded pressure—studied for modest reductions in perceived soreness and swelling after hard sessions, not magic performance boosts for everyone. Fit matters: too tight cuts circulation.
Pair with sleep and fueling; sleeves do not fix overreach.
Common questions
-
Do compression boots replace sleep?
