benefit of compression tights is enhanced blood circulation to peripheral limbs,
which concurrently helps prevent injury and aid in performance
- Increased skin temperature
experience through the use of compression clothing is proven to aid and
accelerate the warm up process
- Studies have shown compression
tights slow down the concentration of blood lactate during bouts of intense
exercise

and after exercise aids in faster muscle recovery and concurrently lowers the
risk of injury
As voiced by The Australian Sporting Commission, while literature highlights the benefits of compression tights within numerous sporting fields, caution should be taken when choosing the correct apparel. The garment should not only look the part, but also provide enough pressure to promote venous return.
