It's Time To Replace Your Knee Sleeves With These Compression Pants
What are the benefits of wearing compression knee sleeves?
Knee injuries are unfortunately all too common in sports. As a preventative measure, some athletes will turn to knee sleeve protection in order to reduce their risk of getting injured. Others wear knee compression devices to relieve pain, control swelling & inflammation, and for added joint support.
Traditionally, there have been 3 types of knee compression available to athletes looking for varying degrees of warmth, stability and support.
Cloth Knee Sleeves are the thinnest type of knee sleeve available and provide mild compression and some warmth to the joint and surrounding muscles. A cloth knee sleeve can be made from any number of materials including polyesters, cotton, acrylics and will usually contain lycra or spandex for their elasticity. They provide limited injury protection and knee support.
Neoprene Knee Sleeves are more substantial than cloth knee sleeves and come in different thicknesses. Neoprene sleeves, such as the Rehband Knee Sleeves, are a popular choice for powerlifters and CrossFit enthusiasts. Although much bulkier than a cloth knee sleeve, a neoprene knee sleeve provides improved knee stability along with more warmth and greater injury prevention which make them a staple in weightlifting and CrossFit gyms.
Knee Wraps are typically worn for performance and heavy powerlifting. Wraps provide extreme compression but can be cumbersome and require significant attention. They are best used during short periods of intense activity such as lower bodybuilding exercises such are squats and deadlifts.
How to stop your knee sleeves from rolling down
Most athletes in need of knee compression find themselves choosing between the first two alternatives: cloth knee sleeves or neoprene knee sleeves. One of the biggest problems with all these knee sleeve options are that they tend to roll down and require continual adjustment. To solve this problem some people turn to wearing compression tights with knee sleeves overtop with limited success.
