If you want to optimise training performance and recovery, the best close-fitting compression tights \u2013 designed to be worn during and after training \u2013 can take the battle to muscle fatigue and soreness.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the best sweatpants<\/a>, compression tights have two key benefits. Whether you’re lifting heavy weights or performing stretching exercises, compression tights help support the muscles, cutting the impact <\/span>vibrations that can tend to increase muscle fatigue. And by applying controlled and graduated pressure at key points, they <\/span>improve blood circulation. That increased blood flow delivers more oxygen to your muscles and helps remove waste faster, That keeps you fresher for longer during your sessions and speeds up the recovery process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do compression tights work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The <\/span>scientific jury<\/span><\/a> is still out<\/span> on whether there\u2019s conclusive proof that compression tights improve performance during your workouts, but plenty of people swear by them. However, the evidence of their positive impact on recovery after training is far more compelling.\u202f\u202f<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key thing to consider is the level of compression. Not all tights offer medical-grade compression, which is something you should look for in dedicated post-training recovery gear. The compression level can also change how you use them. Some compression tights work during and after; others \u2013 often tighter fitting \u2013 are better used for recovery only. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re buying compression gear, pay close attention to sizing too. You want a precise fit to maximise recovery benefits \u2013 that’s exactly how compression clothing works<\/a>. And good compression gear requires more detailed measurements than regular base layers and workout apparel. So be sure to check the sizing charts and don\u2019t automatically go for your usual size.\u202f <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
