What makes Zensah Compression Leg Sleeves Unique?
While other compression leg sleeves feature flat fabric that
provide only compression, Zensah’s Compression Leg Sleeves
feature chevron ribbing on the front of the leg sleeves (v-shaped
pattern). This provides direct support to the shin area, similar
to the way athletic tape would provide shin splint . The
leg sleeves also feature micro-ribbing the back of the leg
sleeves to provide direct calf support to reduce ing and
igue.

Innovative training gear maker Zensah has developed a series of
high-performance compression clothing using a proprietary
knitting process and materials. The company's leg sleeves are
stitched using Pin-Point Compression, gradient pressure developed
by a professional athletic trainer that uses wide ribbing in the
front for optimal shin support, and snug ribbing in the back for
calf support. Silver ions in the unique Zensah Fabric helps
regulate skin temperature and fight bacteria to keep your sleeves
fresh. Particularly useful for runners, cyclists, and
triathletes, these compression sleeves increase blood flow to the
muscles of the lower leg, circulating oxygen into your muscles in
order to reduce igue during, and speed recovery following,
your workouts.

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:
* Enhanced blood circulation as a result of improved venous
return
* Deoxygenated blood goes back to the heart faster, which in turn
helps improve blood flow of oxygen-rich blood back to 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
