When performance matters, you need to get everything right, right down to your socks. Made with seamless technology and designed to serve as a second-skin, Zensah compression socks are designed to help improve performance, increase recovery time and reduce fatigue. Through a graduated compression design that increases blood flow and reduces muscle vibration, Zensah knee-high compression socks are ready to perform under pressure without losing sight of comfort and mobility.
On Design and Performance…
Whether your sport is biking, running, hiking, or crushing crossfit sessions, all of that intense training can place incredible strain on the muscles and ligaments of the lower leg. Zensah knee-high compression socks give you the support and power you need to perform hard and recover fast post-workout, as well as reduce fatigue throughout.
Gradual compression design aimed at improving oxygen delivery to muscles, speeding lactic acid removal and stabilizing the lower leg for greater muscle efficiency. This increase in oxygenated blood flow helps your muscles feel more efficient and powerful during activity, and it helps your muscles feel less sore and fatigued afterward.
In addition to the compression fit, Zensah designers used a state-of-the-art knitting machine so you don’t have to suffer through the distraction of unpleasant seams chafing your toes on that next long training run or race day.
Anatomically-correct left and right construction ensures the most dialed fit. And if that wasn’t enough, Zensah incorporates arch support as part of the sock – allowing your legs to last longer during marathons, races, or long rides.
And because you can push on further, the Zensah design team uses an ultra-breathable, moisture wicking fabric that draws moisture away from the body, allowing the garment and athlete to stay cool, dry and light. So the only time you’ll notice that you’re wearing knee-high compression socks, is when you get the race day pictures emailed to you.
As any runner or athlete knows, there’s a multiplicity of factors that go into reaching new goals and setting new PRs. And while current research suggests that the benefits of wearing compression garments during exercise may be more in your head than in your legs, Zensah Compression socks were with our run team stride for stride in setting new PRs in local 10Ks and Internationally recognized Marathon courses.
Zensah on Recovery…
Not a fan of running in knee high compression socks or prefer to wait until the science is in? Then pull on your Zensah Compression gear after a hard training session or race day and spend the rest of your afternoon in deep, relaxing waves of muscle recovery. Not unlike a post-ride recovery drink, these compression socks helped lay the groundwork to minimize leg soreness for the next days training session, whether running or riding.
While research on using compression gear during performance may not be conclusive, it has shown that the benefits for recovery are more definitive. The use of compression gear after an intense workout can decrease recovery time and reduce the delayed onset of muscle soreness, by enhancing overall blood flow. This in turn may help improve your overall performance.
