Calcetines de Compresión Podoks Running

What are compression socks?

Compression socks are garments designed to apply graduated pressure to the legs and feet, promoting blood circulation and reducing muscle fatigue .

They are widely used by athletes and people who spend many hours standing , as they help improve performance and recovery.

These socks apply greater pressure to the bottom of the foot, known as the Lejars venous sole , which promotes venous return.

Benefits of compression socks in training

1. Improves blood circulation

The main benefit of compression socks is that they stimulate blood flow, which facilitates muscle oxygenation and reduces the risk of cramps and/or premature fatigue.

📌 The Podoks Tired Legs model also features a compression stocking that reaches below the knee with a class 2 compression level, ideal for optimizing circulation and reducing inflammation throughout this area as well.

2. Reduction of muscle fatigue

By reducing muscle vibrations, compression socks minimize the feeling of fatigue, allowing for greater endurance during prolonged workouts.

3. Injury prevention

Compression stabilizes muscles and tendons, reducing the risk of injuries such as plantar fasciitis.

4. Acceleration of muscle recovery

Wearing compression socks after training helps eliminate toxins and reduce post-exercise pain, aiding faster recovery.

5. Temperature control and inflammation reduction

Compression socks regulate the temperature of the feet and legs, preventing overheating and reducing swelling in long-distance runners or endurance athletes.

When to wear compression socks?

During training:

  • If you do long-distance running or intensive training.
  • To improve foot stability and reduce impact on uneven terrain.
  • If you suffer from frequent muscle fatigue.

  • To speed up recovery and reduce muscle inflammation.
  • If you experience post-workout soreness or stiffness.

In daily life:

  • If you spend many hours standing or have circulatory problems.
