Trivia

Studies have also shown that athletes wearing compression socks recovered more quickly as compared to athletes who did not wear it.

The Compression technology was invented about 60 years back, initially used in medical field for treating patients suffering from vein disorders, diabetes by increasing circulation as well as deep tissue oxygenation and decreasing blood clotting. Compression clothing works in improving blood circulation. In the 1980s, scientists researched to find out if this technology could be used in sports. A study showed that the compression clothing helped in reducing blood lactate levels after training and exercise. It is now used by athletes and trainers all over the world in numerous sports such as Marathon running, soccer, etc.
