About Running

The result of any running based sport often comes down to who's able to last the longest. Your ability to continually and forcefully contract leg muscles whilst fighting of fatigue is paramount for athletic success. This is where targeted compression gives you an unfair advantage. The custom designed seams and panels of BSc Targeted compression Garment encloses each region like a muscle sheath providing strength, support, improved circulation and greater joint awareness to targeted muscle groups. As a consequence of these physiological variables independent research has shown targeted compression to increase VO2max by up to 10% and anaerobic threshold by up to 40%. These two fitness characteristics are highly correlated to success in running sports ultimately giving running athletes a significant competitive advantage. These results also coincided with research findings that athletes utilising graded compression over their lower limbs during running may enhance circulation and decrease muscle oscillation to promote lower energy expenditure at a given submaximal speed. Greater efficiency corresponds to reduced fatigue which is of obvious benefit to any running athlete wanting to go that little bit longer. Research also suggests that Graded compression has a positive influence on blood lactate concentrations. Blood lactate is a by product of anaerobic muscle metabolism. High muscle and blood lactic acid concentrations can present a challenge to the body's ability to maintain pH within the narrow physiological range. This in turn can negatively impact the force generating capacity of the muscle which results in the early onset of fatigue. Ultimately Targeted compression could be the difference between you being first or second. Train, play, and recover with BSc targeted compression.
