Benefits of 2XU Compression Clothing
- Improved circulation: Graduated compression of the limbs actively encourages and increases blood return to the heart and lymph cells to the lymph nodes. This decreases your warm-up time and keeps blood flowing even when you stop (such as waiting at a competition), regulating body temperature to ensure optimal comfort in both hot and cold conditions.
- Improved recovery: Therapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefit by helping the pumping action of the whole cardiovascular system; also removing lactic acid from the muscles leading to faster muscle repair after exercise. This means you are able to ride/train more frequently.
- Reduced fatigue: During exercise, your muscles are subjected to forces which make them vibrate (such as jumping off the bike during a failed move); this is called muscle oscillation and is a major cause of fatigue. Muscle oscillation can be reduced by compression clothing as it holds the muscles in place, leading to increased endurance, strength and power. Keep riding harder for longer!
- Heightened agility: Proprioception is the body's sense of relative position with other parts of the body, and is extremely important to accuracy, stability and agility. Proprioception can also help with improving technique as you are made more aware of your body's positioning, improving your balance and co-ordination.
- Reduced damage: The muscle containment properties provided by 2XU Compression Clothing help to reduce muscle damage during exercise and therefore swelling and soreness post-exercise. DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, where you are sore a day or two after hard exercise) can also be significantly reduced in both severity and duration by this clothing, allowing you to ride/train more frequently.
