herrowpreeze Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I recently read an article where the cyclist said the best thing she did was purchase compression socks. Is it really worth it to spend the extra moolah on a pair?

TALUS Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I don't have the time and energy to explain myself now. I do have more than average background knowledge. Absolute rubbish.

There is ONLY ONE sock on the market that offers anything meaningful: Ever Heard of BSX? https://www.buycycle.co.za/mountain-bike/technology/computers/bsx-insight-cycling-edition/

Lactic threshold is an important measurement for athlete who would like to improve and know how to race optimally. This is why pros do the test regularly. Can not compare it to a power balance band... This is meaningful analytics.
Matchstix Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Medical grade compression socks due serve a purpose. However there is a much larger size curve and measurements involved that just s, m and large and it has nothiung to do with your foot size and more with the actual circumference of you ankle, calf and the length og your leg. Also these usually have a lifespan of about 6 months to a year. Depending on how much you use them.
Fisan Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 TL;DR.Good for recovery.Placebo during exercise. But if you don't buy it, how can you ever be cool as this? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fxUlXqq8KYs/Tfgl5YOboxI/AAAAAAAAAFg/2DIY4KLCvYw/s1600/wf_bike.jpg
BDF Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Compression socks are VITAL if you want good meso-vascular-Veinus function. It has been said that wearing these will cut your recovery time in half and infuse your blood with vital nutrients faster than Froome can descend a mountain. Added to this is that you can get totally free disqualification from any CSA sanctioned rave race because they are not legal in races but who cares. At least you will feel better afterwards blah blah blah gobbledygook :ph34r:
Stretch Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 i got a calf strain and was recommended to buy a pair to aid the healing. Went to an oke..spent 450 bucks on them...ran a total of ten times in them ..and then my toe wore through and i cant use them again...R45 bucks per use work or not - they a waste of bloody money
bikebloke Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 thanks everyone for the smiles best posts today yeah they are nonsense and you look like a muppet in them
Lance Stephenson Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Compression of the lower leg DOES improve pressure in the veins which helps to flush toxins out of the muscles. Surgeons do you use compression socks after surgeries to stop DVTs and its medically proven to help in the prevention of them. Most of the worlds atheletes fly with them on. The missing details here are, people with naturally low blood pressure have the biggest perceived results. Because of pressure rising, the toxins flush faster. I have used and still use mine after long days and hard days of training. The next day my legs don't feel as sore and tight. What does this mean in actually perfomance percentage? I don't know, but I take huge confidence from how my legs feel, and that is worth every penny!
