Means compression, fad or reality?
Just take a couple of years between sport practitioners and normal and have become very popular. Compression stockings for athletes, most athletes have become a staple of the equipment ... but are they useful? or is it another placebo item? can fight varicose veins?
(Body 2.0) It's funny how something that used a long time people with circulatory problems in the lower body has become essential equipment for some element and good looks when they go to "run" to others.
Technically, the concept of using the means of the athletes and our "grandmothers" are the same, improve the efficiency of the deep and superficial venous in the legs, were the savior against varices. To oversimplify, we could say that seeks upward pressure, high to low, from ankle to that there is no the backflow of blood. Much of the role of compression hosiery is designed to facilitate the oxygenation of the muscles of the legs during training or testing.
sports professionals use two types of stockings, the training and post training . The first are adapted with non-slip pads and elements that facilitate its use movement, while the latter is to facilitate recovery , drainage and focus only on compression.
The placebo effect may exist , but most agree that they work, and not only a sports such as athletics, but has evolved to other disciplines like e l football, basketball or skiing . The manufacturers make changes under each sport, in this regard, I want to make clear that we must observe the subject commercial companies and their pursuit of profit.
In summary, compression stockings work, are good for the sport and certainly over time, we will apply the concept to parts of the body.
