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 Zensah
