Compression T-shirt for training

The wonderful properties of compression (squeezing) were known even in Ancient Egypt, when during long military campaigns, soldiers and slaves tried to tightly bandage their legs with bandages. Thanks to these simple actions, the heaviness in the legs and swelling was removed, and people were ready for new multi-kilometer movements. This method has not been lost for centuries. Moreover, thanks to modern technology, the compression method of influencing the human body has been brought to perfection, helping the body cope with the loads when playing sports.

Manufacturers produce compression garments designed for different parts of the body. These are socks, leggings, shorts, T-shirts, t-shirts. Clothing allows the athlete to focus on the training process, while the body is in comfortable conditions: sweat is removed, blood circulation improves, endurance increases.

Compression T-shirt in its properties is ten times superior to conventional sports equipment. Its dense texture provides not only support for the upper body, but also muscle groups of the back and chest. At the same time, the shirt does not constrain movements, allowing the body to remain as flexible as possible.

• Due to the distribution of pressure, muscle fatigue is reduced, and the possibility of serious damage, including skin, is reduced.
• Despite the dense texture of the material, it perfectly absorbs the athlete's sweat and creates the optimal temperature regime for heat transfer.
• Manufacturers are trying to make their underwear, including compression, recognizable. In branded sportswear stores, you can always pick up an original color T-shirt with a catchy print.

T-shirts, which include t-shirts, are of three types and differ in the length of the sleeve.

• The so-called sleeveless jackets provide complete freedom of movement during rotational movements of the hands. T-shirts of this type are most often used by basketball players and weightlifters.

• Football players, volleyball players, handball players choose short-sleeved - it is important for them to ensure the accuracy of the blow to their hands. In this case, the muscles are in good shape and quickly recover after exertion.

• Long sleeve shirts provide protection for the muscles of the arms and torso. Most often, such a model can be found on athletes involved in mixed martial arts. It protects against abrasions and burns from the mat. During breaks, it does not allow the muscles to cool, which avoids minor injuries in the form of sprains or ruptures of ligaments. Some T-shirts have special silicone inserts that fix the edges of the clothing and insure against twisting.

Compression underwear is made of special elastic materials that should fit the athlete’s body tightly. One of them is spandex. It is distinguished by a high degree of elasticity, wear resistance, strength and lightness.

Polyester, despite its density, is slightly inferior to spandex in terms of wear resistance. However, in combination with it, it is a durable, breathable, highly stretchable material.

There are many manufacturers of compression clothing. The most popular of them are the American company McDavid, Skins from Australia and the Swedish Rehband. Of course, this is not a complete list of successful companies that produce quality things for amateur athletes.

Many, especially professionals, prefer to choose clothes of famous brands whose names all over the world are a symbol of quality: American Nike and Reebok, the German concern Adidas. They set the tone for fashion in the sports world. Less well-known clothing manufacturers, including compression underwear, are guided by their products. Most often, branded companies enter into contracts and agreements with sports clubs or federations. It can also be found in stores, but the price will be high.

When choosing a T-shirt, it is worth starting from the sports in which the training process is going to take place. For example, football involves training on the street, so you should pick up equipment with a long sleeve. It is best to pick up a T-shirt with antibacterial impregnation, which blocks inflammation of abrasions and other microtraumas.
