The compression garment industry has sky rocketed over the past fifteen years. Previously in the 80's and 90's and even in to the new millennium your choices were pretty much just spandex and biker shorts. However compression therapy has been used a lot longer in the medical therapeutic industry to address condition in blood flow and clotting.
As sports science and sport medicine has advanced over the years, you find that compression accessories have been developed to aid in recovery and prevention of injuries, soreness and faster recovery. Compression shorts and compression sleeves can now be seen at every sports event . Even my son's little league team has no shortage of compression gear and these kids are only twelve years old.
The medical aspect really intrigues me in that are they really beneficial or just a sporting fashion fad. I also wonder if there are different performance qualities between different manufacturers. Do they generally use the same material or are there numerous materials that are used.
Another question is where can some one buy the best compression shorts or compression sleeves for activities such as squats, swimming and weightlifting.
