Compressport compression gear – Just in

23.02.12

Compressport are specialists in compression wear and on top of their association with triathletes such as Chrissie Wellington and Olivier Marceau have a sponsorship deal with ProTour team AG2R. While the UCI have banned compression clothing on the grounds that it may enhance performance, the team use it in training and for recovery once they're off the bike.

The theory behind compression wear is that applying pressure to a muscle such as the calf accelerates blood flow and gets more oxygen to the working muscles. This increased flow is said to improve lactic acid clearance and help you work harder for longer. The same may be true post-exercise, with increased muscular blood flow delaying or minimising soreness. Compressport also reckon their products reduce impact, preventing injury and muscle fatigue.

They stopped by the office this week to show us a handful of products that may be of interest to cyclists. Forquad (£54/pair) are supports for the thigh muscles and sit from just above the knee to midway up the thigh. As with all their products they are size specific, with the Forquad supports requiring the measurement from the top and bottom of the thigh.
