Sports Compression Leg Wear Giveaway

by: Andrew Allgaier

You may have seen the often brightly colored socks worn by some of your favorite athletes or runners around town. Are these just the latest fashion trend in active wear? Well, yes and no.

These socks, often called recovery socks, run socks, or sports socks, improve circulation in the legs, like other types of compression stockings. This is purported to give boosts in endurance and performance, and help recovery after a run. Many athletes will attest to the benefits of sport compression, though not a lot of research has been conducted to prove the claims. What we do know is that compression leg wear improves the circulation of blood in legs and in my opinion they look pretty cool too.
