Face Plant Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 i was thinking last night that there has been alot said about the value of compression gear in aiding recovery but nowhere have i seen that it has been mentioned how long you should wear them after exercise..... any ideas?
obree Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I wear the socks to work, then sleep in the tights.
Face Plant Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 sleep in them i would agree if you had a late exercise but what about a race in the morning?

I wear my compression socks for the afternoon and take them off mostly before nighttime as I cannot wear it for too long. In summertime, those socks stay on fore 2-3 hrs. Then I get too hot.

Slave Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Don't know much about all this stuff but I would hazzard a guess that you wear the stuff as long as you want to be compressed. Â Medical science has shown though, that tight pants / undies can lead to a low fertility rate in men. (Then again maybe that's not an altogether bad thing.)
Face Plant Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) That why you sleep in themObree sorry im not sure i understand what you mean! are you saying that you should be wearing them permanently outside of training/racing?i have read several articles about compression gear and till recently there has only been scientfic proof that it aids recovery with no proof that it helps during training/racing, however, i read an article in the mens health recently that showed the results from a study done at a university in germany that showed that athletes, on average they improved their running endurance by 16% because of the notion that because muscles are kept more compact, balance and proprioception are improved and muscle fatigue is minimized. i ran with mine last night and cant say that i felt a difference, but because of all the positive studies about the benefit of recovery i would like to know how long one should wear them to get maximum benefit Edited January 7, 2011 by Face Plant
AndreZA Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 'para are you insinuating that compression gear is snake oil too? Â It's lycra garments that's 2 sizes too small for you. I can maybe understand those that have different "strength" panels to go over different parts of the body but most are just one piece.
