What Do Compression Arm Sleeves Actually Do?

What Do Compression Arm Sleeves Actually Do?

Compression Arm Sleeves are rapidly increasing in popularity amongst people involved in sports and physical activities worldwide and there are many reasons why! Any sporting event you attend or watch on TV, you'll more than likely see someone wearing an arm sleeve and that is why we're going to go through a few of the benefits of wearing Compression Arm Sleeves. 

INCREASED BLOOD CIRCULATION

One of the major benefits of wearing an arm sleeve is the improved circulation in your arm. Sleeves are designed to provide compression to keep circulation flowing during your entire game, practice, workout, etc. Increased blood circulation can protect muscles from future injury and the sleeve will provide some support for athletes who have had a previous injury.

FASTER RECOVERY

Arm sleeves have shown to help expedite recovery for athletes. The compression helps muscles that are sore or overworked to recover faster. The sleeve enables your blood flow to circulate quicker to the heart, which helps you heal and recover quicker.

PROTECTION

Outside of injury protection, the sleeve acts as a second skin that can help provide general protection from bumps, scrapes, turf burn, etc. Most athletes can attest that most sports are battlegrounds and cuts/turf burn are likely to occur. Wearing a sleeve can significantly help resist those types of injuries. Sleeves also provide significant protection from the sun. 

MAINTAIN BODY TEMPERATURE

It is crucial that an athlete is always ready in every moment. A huge benefit of wearing a sleeve is that it will keep your arm at a consistent temperature to ensure maximum performance. If you're playing a cold football or baseball game and are sitting on the bench or take a play off, your muscles can begin to tighten up. The arm sleeve will help provide a consistent temperature to keep your arm warm, loose and ready for anything. The same concept can be applied for any weather temperature or field conditions, making them a must have accessory for every athlete.
