Get the most from every session by banishing post-run aches with Skins.
Wearing Skins during and after runs helps boost your performance during training and speeds up recovery so you're ready to hit the streets again.
The secret to Skins' effectiveness -
and the reason why wearing any old tight kit won't work - is its unique gradient compression, which means that the level of compression is different for specific areas of the body. Skins apparel becomes gradually tighter at the extremities, further away from your heart. This can increase blood flow back to your heart (venous return) by up to 30%, which in turn means your heart pumps more blood with every beat (increased stroke volume). The benefits for your running are clear: faster delivery of oxygen to your working muscles and faster removal of lastic acid (the waste product that gives you that jelly-legs feeling when you've pushed yourself hard).
Increased circulation also means that you'll recover much quicker:
wearing Skins helps your body remove waste products from the muscles, reduces swelling, and delivers more oxygen to help your body repair damage that takes place during exercise. By holding your muscles secure during exercise, Skins help prevent the micro-tears that occur during long or tough sessions so your post-run aches and pains will be reduced. And best of all, because Skins increase stroke volume and circulation even when your heart works slowly, you can get ready for your next run just by wearing Skins while you rest, so next time you wake up feeling ready to run, your legs will agree with you.
