Published by Dec 13th 2007, 6:14pm
Filmed on 11/13/07 - The Running Event - Austin, TX - Lia from Zensah talks about their calf compression sleeve. It's mostly used by anyone in endurance sports and is designed as a sleeve rather than a sock so that the athlete can use their own sock. The sock is grooved to help facilitate blood flow upwards through the calf and simulates taping methods used by trainers. Calf sleeves also help prevent swelling while flying on planes. Lia discusses what most people use the calf sleeve for. Interview by Kevin Ullman
From Zensah.com   ZENSAH TRAINING AND MUSCLE RECOVERY LEG SLEEVES
For years athletes have known about the benefits of recovery bars, and drinks. Now a start-up company From Miami, Florida called Zensah® has developed recovery leg sleeves using a special knitting process and fabric.
The Calf/Shin recovery sleeves are made with gradient compression which provides wide ribbing in the front for shin support, and tight ribbing in the back for calf support. The sleeves are made with Zensah Fabric® which has silver helping regulate skin temperature, and fight bacteria. The sleeves can be worn during training to increase oxygen blood flow to the muscles of the lower leg. The more oxygen the muscles receive the faster they recovery allowing athletes to push the envelope in their training. The Zensah Calf/Shin sleeve is ideal for runners, cyclists and triathletes. It can be worn during training, recovery or for traveling after races.
The Zensah Calf/Shin sleeves are unique in that they provide pint point compression to the front and back of the leg. The dual action support was developed by a professional athletic trainer.
