BEST and shortest video i have seen about this topic.

[@renatawilliams09]

I'm a heavier and older runner with old military injuries and I swear by my compression socks. I don't work out without them, and have noticed less pain in my shins and knees. Even if it is a placebo, I'll take it and continue to wear them.

[@CrowBag]

What brand do you have mate? Would like to know what to buy or compare them to. Theres a lot of shit ones out there. Cheers

[@TG_33]

I watch these videos to motivate me to run. I havent run in awhile but i lost weight when i started running i initially was using advice from this channel - which was helping me as a new runner basically increase endurance by running in intervals

[@lisinbondi1240]

I have lymphodema from surgery years ago and compression tights ( 2XU or UA for me) work massively well to clear that and not using is 100% noticeable. No placebo affect here and I run in them :)

[@TheRunExperience]

that's great to hear it works for you!

[@MrLeetec]

I wear compression knee-high socks for all my runs. It delays the fatigue of my calf. Especially my right calf which has a bit varicose vein issue. And it is recommend for everyone having long distance flights.

[@feezee82]

I bought a pair of Normatec boots a few months ago. Been using them almost after every run. A very pricey purchase, but I like them. Don’t think they do any miracles, but they do help recover faster, and feel fresher particularly after a hard workout.

[@TheRunExperience]

sometimes recovering faster is a miracle!

[@md.mesbahuddinahmed9544]

Thank you for your valuable, super informative recovery tips, coach Morgan! I made it sure, I got that into my brain. 3:23

[@RealStrategyGamingClassics]

SOmetimes these are optional. But sometimes its for medical reason. Knee high compression that go over the foot and toe are the best at 15-20 strength and get athletic version of teraform or truform.

[@LyonsLeo]

Compression supports key muscles which improves circulation? That’s a bit of a stretch upon which all other purported benefits are attached. Compression supports vascular tissues like veins, reducing blood pooling and fluid leakage through the capillaries into surrounding spaces (adema).

[@crosslink1493]

Exactly, that's why I wore them when I got DVT blood clots in my legs a few years ago (genetic predisposition, not a cumulative workout injury). Best recovery method I ever found was briskly walking for 5 minutes, another 5 minute walk at a normal pace, then stretching concentrating on the leg muscles. Drink plenty of water, too.

[@TG_33]

Since i am a new runner i cannot just start running and not stop i get winded and my muscles tighten up. So running in intervals really helped me to actually become a runner and not be discouraged.

[@randenlewis152]

Don't do too much intervals, just once or twice a week. Most of your runs should be easy runs

[@peakproofuk]

Really solid advice and fun to watch. I wish I was this good in front of camera!

[@Stussy787]

I have been trail running now for over four years and always use 2XU socks and 2XU tights (mostly the MCS tight) and they seem to work for me compared to non-compression socks and tights. Whilst they do not prevent you from getting any minor injury's or niggles they certainly seem to reduce it from my experience. If I have been on a very long or challenging run then I also wear their recovery tights for a few hours and that seems to aid recovery too.

[@oldlifter530]

I have arthritis in both knees this causes the surrounding muscles to tighten to the point of numbness I find that if I use about 3 metres of exercise band folded in half and wrap above and below my knee and do about 30 body wieght squats over a minute and immediately release the band's I can then go for a 10 to 20 minute lite run without pain

[@Runnerrwe]

Good video. I only use after races

[@rishabh7743]

i use the flamingo knee caps during run and wear them after run if my knee pains. is it ok to wear or i should stop it@The Run Experience

[@IronSharpensIron127]

I ruck (Walk with a lot of weight on my back) twice a week. Last Saturday I did 8 miles with compression socks on. My calves are really sore. Obviously the worked a lot harder with compression socks on. Do you know why?

[@sublime9525]

I got a new pair of compression shorts. But I also wear compression socks because I am recovering from shin splints. Are there any side effects in blood circulation if I wear both because the knees are the only part that is not compressed?

[@EKing-ov7tm]

Great video! Thank you 🙏🏻!

[@Kristian179]

Why do the majority of compression sleeves only come with one, like I didn't know everybody has only one leg

[@zafarchoriev4746]

It might be a little silly question, but how tight those socks should be?

[@CH4NNELZERO]

I use inflatable compression sleeves even though I don't really need them. It helps me sleep better ! By the way where is this nice green area that you filmed the video ? It looks like England.

[@TG_33]

I have been a swimmer my whole life so my body is used to no impact and using a different set of muscles

[@Naveenkumar-jh5zh]

If possible Make a video on best shoes under $100 . coach

[@aaronromero7723]

How tigh the arm sleev need to be?

[@ricodelavega4511]

What the hell lady? I was thinking this very question minutes before I went to KZbin only to see a recommended channel on the very topic. Also, I have the same shorts

[@TheRunExperience]

glad we know what our audience needs 😃

[@terryprice35]

Compression seemed to help with my compartment syndrome.

[@aurangzaib3442]

Great like ever 😍

[@isco-vy9jd]

I like an Epsom salt bath to recover although not during the summer 😰

[@uras1]

i use socks most days after my run

[@TheShipbuilder]

0:54: "And, with that added circulation, your body is able to flush out that lactic acid and metabolic waste build-up." Have to call y'all out on this one, TRE! The human body doesn't produce/use lactic acid. It produces lactate during anaerobic glycolysis, but lactate has nothing to do with the common perception that there's lactic acid in our muscles causing DOMS etc. Lactic acid is used in food production to make yogurt.

[@davidyim7744]

I was going to say the same thing..lactate does not equal lactic acid! Good call…

[@davidbender9371]

Right?? This is such old news, too!

[@OmegaBirdy]

can you still gain muscle from wearing this?

[@johnc3403]

Anyone who has used a calf sock or sleeve to help them recover from a calf injury knows that the benefit of compression is anything but placebo.

[@TG_33]

I like compression

[@mohdwahidkhan5479]

Thanks you

[@yinhoukhor7109]

Depends on how hard you compress.

[@randenlewis152]

How hard do you compress?

[@alvinwong2246]

It works well for support purposes only. Not gonna help you in the end by lack of leg strength and mobility workout.

[@Williamottelucas]

0:45 "So this is going to improve circulation" Based on what? You make an assertion without backing it up with any evidence.

[@phillippearce9680]

👍

[@ericdunthorne1981]

Is there any scientific studies to back this up? The fitness industry is plagued with pseudoscience. I'd really appreciate some links to peer-reviewed studies. A bunch of anecdotal stories doesn't equate to data. Thanks.

[@dancarter6697]

Searching PubMed helps. Here are just two examples using the search term "compression clothing running": pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27106555/. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28434152/

[@TheRunExperience]

@@eyeojo we do state that some people claim this to be a placebo effect, but yes compression has been used by medical professionals to aid in recovery for quite some time.

[@slavasss2189]

Indeed no proof

[@Tpulaski]

Do you have any proof the it doesn’t work? Other than anecdotal evidence ?

[@bubblebubble50]

@@Tpulaski actually there is on performance- “Lower Leg Compression Sleeves: Influence on Running Mechanics and Economy in Highly Trained Distance Runners” by Indiana University researchers

She looks cute

[@kevindecoteau3186]

stop yelling at me.

[@davidbender9371]

It’s 2021 and “flushing out lactic acid” is still a thing 🤦🏻‍♂️ We humans make lactate, not lactic acid (yes, there’s a difference). And no it doesn’t need to be “flushed out” - it clears automatically once exercise ceases.

[@leonstuij9540]

Highly unscientific, no literature used and a veiled way to sell a product.

[@bepriceless]

I don't buy it. Compression flattens the blood vessels, hindering circulation, slowing recovery. People wearing a compression sleeve on their knees is just a sympathy sleeve, just to let everyone know they're injured. Compression might help if you have a loose joint for some reason. I doubt very seriously if you're a sports doctor and have done years of research on this. Hey, wear it if you want, but I'm an old ex-runner and they've been saying yes and no on this for decades, and i say no. Do what you want.
