But preliminary findings from five years of scientific study at the Penn State Center for Sports Medicine shows it to be true. Imagine athletes having more endurance, greater power, and enhanced speed - able to perform at their peak longer, with improved responsiveness and more precise movement. A tired athlete is more prone to physical and mental errors. Fatigue causes a reduced efficiency in the nerve-firing ability to control the muscle. And athletes suffering from exhaustion are more likely to lose motivation and the competitive edge that helps them attain their best.
High compression reduces muscle vibration, a major cause of muscle fatigue.
The high stretch, form-fitting design of the garment improves the feedback that receptors in your skin, muscles, and joints send to your brain. In sport, where the search for even the smallest advantage is a never-ending quest, any improvement can make huge differences in competitive results. Small gains are always significant, but they are especially so at the highest level of competition where quantum leap improvements are rare.
