Why compression sleeves are an essential asset
Compression sleeves for running have become an essential piece of equipment for road, trail and competitive runners. They are not just for looks: their role is to promote blood circulation, reduce muscle fatigue, stabilise the calves and improve recovery.
Whether you are a regular runner, a half-marathon runner, a marathon runner or a trail runner, your legs are subjected to significant stress: repeated contractions, micro-trauma to the muscles, vibrations from the ground. Running sleeves reduce muscle shock and micro-trauma, contributing to increased comfort and performance.
What SIDAS running sleeves offer
- Targeted compression & muscle support — The sleeves exert gradual pressure on the calf, promoting venous return, reducing the feeling of heavy legs and limiting muscle fatigue.
- Stability and reduced muscle vibration — Calf support limits micro-movements in the muscles, reduces vibration and decreases the risk of soreness or premature fatigue. Ideal for long runs or intense races.
- Comfort & support during exercise — The sleeves are made from technical materials that are breathable and soft to the touch. They fit the shape of the leg perfectly, without wrinkling or slipping, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stride.
- Accelerated recovery after exercise — Thanks to compression, the sleeves aid blood circulation and venous return, facilitating the elimination of toxins and accelerating muscle recovery after long runs or competitions.
- Versatile use — Suitable for road running, trail running, cross-training or even cycling, SIDAS sleeves can be worn before, during or after exercise, depending on the objective: performance, endurance or recovery.
Who are these running sleeves designed for?
- Regular runners or competitors who want to improve their performance and endurance.
- Trail runners or long-distance runners who want to reduce fatigue and stabilise their calves.
- Those prone to heavy legs or muscle soreness: the sleeves improve comfort and speed up recovery.
- Anyone who wants to optimise the combination of shoes, socks and sleeves for greater comfort and a more stable stride.
Expert advice & best practices
- Choose the right size — Sleeves that are too tight can restrict circulation, while those that are too loose lose their compression effect.
- Wear before, during or after exercise depending on your goal — During running for muscle support, after exercise for recovery.
- Combine with progressive training — Compression does not replace training, but it optimises its effectiveness and recovery.
- Care for them properly — Wash gently, in the open air, avoid tumble drying and fabric softener to preserve elasticity and effectiveness.
