Compressionwear - CompresSport ForQuad Thigh Guard
The CompresSport ForQuad Thigh Guard is a lightweight and supportive compression tube that is designed to enhance the return of blood in your legs whilst excercising, and to reduce the accumalation fo lactic acid and toxins. This simple yet effective addition to your race gear means that you stay fresher and retain energy for longer as well as reducing fatigue which can slow your progress.
The advantage of the CompresSport ForQuad is that you can wear it under your tri suit, cycle or running shorts and it will provide muscle stability and compression but unlike conventional compression shorts, it doesn’t cover the groin, so it doesn’t need to be machine washed after each use!
Using a very lightweight and breathable fabric, the CompresSport ForQuad is designed to hold muscle tone without too much stretch and therefore aid a more effective venous return from the feet to the heart. Your muscles will therefore benefit from improved oxygenation, helping to reduce the possibility of cramps and injuries. Practically speaking, this then allows you to go out for longer, and undertake higher impact sessions with less fatigue and quicker recovery.
The Compressport fabric also optimises heat exchange and wicks away moisture, helping to regulate your body temperature
Being tight around your thigh, the Compressport fabric provides rigidity and support to muscles and therefore reduces the mini shock waves and vibrations that occur with every step and can cause increased fatigue and muscle damage. This support also helps to prevent muscle tears, joint pain, contractures, and micro-injuries.
You can also leave your CompresSport ForQuad Thigh Guard on after excercise in order to accelerate blood flow post excercise which will then flush any build up of toxins from your muscles and increase the amount of oxygen that reaches them. This should then reduce the amount of muscle soreness that you experience int he days following excercise.
When you buy your CompresSport gear from The Climbers Shop, you can be confident that you are purchasing effective, good quality running gear from people who also understand running and use the gear regularly, including for ultra distance marathons such as the Ultra Tour de Mont Blanc, and the Montane Lakeland 50.
