Principle of exercise pressure pants: the pressure it generates helps to accelerate the blood flow to the heart and reduce the heart rate (experiments show that it can reduce the heart rate by about 0.8bpm), just like a person soaking in a swimming pool, the pressure of water on the body will reduce the heart rate, thus accelerating the blood flow to the heart.
So as the second skin of running friends, what is the use of compression clothes?
1, compressed
If the degree of oppression is too high, the blood flow in the body will be restricted and muscle fibers will rub against each other. If the degree of compression is too low, the applied pressure will have no effect. The gradient pressurization technology of the compression garment ensures that appropriate pressure is applied to the correct part of the body, promotes blood circulation and improves the oxygen supply of the exercise muscles. In addition, the compression pants can fix the swing range of thigh muscles, avoid the extra burden caused by invalid vibration, protect knees and prevent cramps.
The famous SKINS 400 series adopts this unique dynamic gradient compression technology and the special intelligent fabric MemoryMX with memory function in biomechanics, so it can exert more accurate pressure on the body both during exercise and after exercise.
Step 2 support
Compression suits can wrap and support key exercise muscle groups, which helps to reduce muscle vibration and maintain muscle alignment. Its unique joint method provides more concentrated support and stability for muscles.
Since they are compression pants, they should have good compressibility. Compressibility is a kind of tension in the body, which has the effect of improving muscle strength, relieving lactic acid accumulation and making exercise more lasting. The good supporting function of compression clothes has an additional function: compression pants can make our bodies more integrated through special material splicing and weaving methods, and have a feeling of growing exoskeletons, especially when muscles are tired.
Step 3 restore
It is found that alternating hot and cold baths and compressed clothing have similar effects on fatigue recovery, but both of them are much better than passive recovery (that is, doing nothing after exercise). Conclusion: Although wearing compression suit is not the most powerful active recovery method, it is still much better than passive recovery.
4. Relieve the feeling of pain and fatigue.
Although there is no obvious difference in objective data, such as muscle injury index, maximum muscle strength, lactic acid accumulation, heart rate and so on. The degree of subjective muscle pain or fatigue of players wearing compression suits is obviously lower than that of players not wearing compression suits. Because fatigue is a subjective feeling, if players think that compressing clothes will make them more relaxed and more powerful, it is basically effective!
5. Reduce delayed muscle soreness
Delayed muscle soreness usually occurs in the exercise of excessive eccentric contraction of muscles, such as downhill running. Compression clothing may reduce the inflammatory reaction caused by eccentric contraction of muscles by providing external restraint force of muscles. The study found that the muscle injury index decreased significantly after exercise, and the pain was obviously relieved. It is said that compression pants represented by skin have the function of assisting the rapid recovery of muscles after exercise, and can even be worn to sleep.
6, auxiliary functions: close-fitting, sweat conduction, breathable quick drying, temperature regulation, odor reduction.
Compared with tight pants, compressed pants fit better, which brings a sense of no burden different from loose sportswear, or streaking!
Compression clothing has excellent sweat conductivity and air permeability, which can quickly discharge sweat in summer and avoid discomfort caused by sweat accumulation on the body surface. In winter, sweat will dry on the surface of clothes after being discharged, and clothes also play the role of an isolation layer to prevent sweat from taking away the body surface temperature when it is dried by cold air. It can be said that it is warm in winter and cool in summer ~ In cold and windy weather, cold air can be prevented from directly impacting the skin surface.
In a word, pressure pants have the functions of pressure, sweat conduction, recovery and support. Avoid muscle shaking during running, and at the same time accelerate the discharge of lactic acid from the legs to avoid cramps. The function of pressure pants is to improve sports performance, promote recovery after sports, prevent injuries and reduce the possibility of injuries, but this is not all. You need to warm up before running, and you still need to stretch after running!
Here comes the question: What's the difference between compression suits and tights?
Tights have no function of compressing clothes, and tights have a sense of oppression; Compression suits can improve the efficiency of human movement in a natural way, exert different pressures on different parts of the body and embody various functions. In addition, the compression suit also has the functions of protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays, sweating and dehumidifying, which makes you feel comfortable and dry in any exercise.
Edit comments/notes
It is very important to choose a suit that suits you!
The key to choice is compressive strength and clothing size!
