If you take a good look at athletes during competitions you will quickly discover that many of them are wearing compression socks or stockings.
This trend has already persisted for several years and continues to attract more and more followers from all types of sports disciplines.
With their colorful and modern design elements, athletic compression socks and stockings present a rather stealth and sleek looking appearance.
However, beyond all the hoopla the real question is whether these futuristic looking “socks” can really deliver on all the potential benefits trumped up by the manufacturers marketing campaigns.
Aside from all the science mumbo jumbo and marketing speak, this article will attempt to separate the facts from the hype about the unique benefits of athletic compression stockings or any other type of sports compression hosiery.
Our vote is unanimous. Athletic compression stockings and socks with graduated compression could indeed be a factor in improving your game or race by boosting blood circulation and reducing muscle fatigue for increased endurance. As always your comments and input are much appreciated.
