What is compression?
Body science compression clothing are form-fitting garments that when applied to specific body parts in a balanced and accurate way, accelerates blood flow. This allows more oxygen to flow through your working muscles, which boosts your performance and helps you work at a higher rate for longer. 

Why are compression garments beneficial?
Strenuous physical activity can induce muscle damage, which can lead to decreased range of motion, swelling and impaired muscle function, all increasing the likelihood of injury. Compression garments help reduce the physical impact and damage associated with strenuous physical activity. 

Research has shown that compression clothing can promote blood lactate removal which therefore enhances recovery and helps injury management. 

Compression garments also help reduce muscle vibration, lactic acid build up, assists blood flow back to the heart and make you more aware of your body's movements. Your energy is harnessed to help you perform better for longer, so that you enjoy the activity more and recover quicker. 

Compression sportswear also wicks sweat away from the body to prevent chafing and rashes. In addition, there is some evidence that compression clothing may enhance athletic performance. All these factors allow an athlete to increase both the duration and intensity of training and competition.
