Innovative training gear maker Zensah has developed a series of
high-performance compression clothing using a proprietary
knitting process and materials. The company's bestselling dual
action shin sleeve treats shin splints and calf pulls, reducing
the risk of injury and alleviating pain. The sleeve's front is
designed to prevent shin splints by incorporating a ribbed
chevron pattern to help support muscles in the shin area. The
deep groove ribbing also helps increase blood circulation,
getting oxygen to the muscles faster, while the back of the
sleeve provides support of the calf and Achilles tendon with
micro ribbing and vertical line which mimic the calf muscles.
Chevron ribbing, when aligned with the middle-front of your shin,
reduces risk of shin splints and associated pain.
About Compression
Graduated compression features the greatest a of
compression in the part of the garment farthest away from the
heart, and the least a compression in the part closest to
the heart (for example, socks have more compression in the ankle
and less in the calf). With graduated compression, veins' cross
sectional area is decreased and a pressure gradient is created,
which leads to physiological benefits including:
* Deoxygenated blood goes back to the heart faster as a result
of improved venous return, thus enhancing blood circulation
throughout the body
* Faster recovery following strenuous exercise and improved
performance, by aiding in the removal of blood lactate
* Reduced blood lactate concentration during maximal exercise
bouts, allowing for an increased lactic threshold for improved
performance
* Enhanced warm-up via increases in skin temperature
* Reduced muscle oscillation and vibration upon ground contact,
providing stability to the muscle to help prevent micro-trauma,
making for a faster and easier recovery
* Reduced effects of delayed onset muscle soreness in the days
following strenuous exercise through alleviating swelling and
inflammation
* Increased muscle support, which increases performance through
improved muscle efficiency
* Improved leg power and vertical jump through enhanced
proprioception
Studies have shown that those that have gained most by wearing
compression are those transitioning from an inactive to active
lifestyle. Older populations have experienced great benefits from
use of compression socks and sleeves. Amateur athletes may see
physiological improvements through using compression. About

for those who do not know their calf size. If between two sizes,
recommend sizing down.

- Calf Support and Injury Prevention: Micro-ribbing on the back of the calf sleeve provides calf support and helps to treat calf strains. Using the leg sleeves while running can reduce calf s and lessen igue. Pin-point compression provides targeted support where it is needed the most. The compression in the leg sleeve also helps to provide muscle stabilization, reducing micro tears and preventing injuries..
