I'm considering purchasing some sort of compression wear. Since they cost $100 plus, I want to get some opinions. Particularly, I'm interested in compression wear for recovery.
After doing some reading, skins and underarmour do have recovery wear that is backed by some studies as being useful. However, there are other studies that show no difference in time of recovery. If you read reviews, its mostly customers writing on the feel of clothing so that doesn't help much.
Has anyone looked into compression wear? Even if it enhances recovery say by 5% after each workout, I would consider wearing it for 24hours for that benefit. Especially once you think of long term training and better quality and quantity of sessions. I'd also purchase compression wear for performance if there is proof that it actually enhances training. However, I do think the real benefit would be recovery if it is indeed possible.
