🏋️♂️ The 3 Must-Haves in Your Gym Bag to Prevent Injuries
Whether you're a casual athlete or a seasoned pro, one thing's for sure: no one likes getting injured. Yet, many sports-related injuries can be avoided with a little preparation and the right tools at hand. Here's a list of must-haves to pack in your gym bag to combine performance with prevention.
1. 🧴 A warming gel to prep your muscles properly
Before you start your session, it's essential to get your muscles ready for the effort. That means active warm-ups—but also simple steps like applying a warming gel.
💡 Recommended product: RS7 Sports Preparation Gel
RS7 gel is perfect before your workout to boost circulation, deeply warm your muscles, and reduce tension. It can also be used after exercise to relieve soreness and speed up recovery.
2. 👖 Compression wear to support your muscles
Compression garments are more than just a trend. They enhance muscle stability, reduce vibrations, and can play a key role in injury prevention.
💡 Our top picks:
Knapman Compression Shorts – With targeted compression, they offer optimal support to your hips and quads—ideal for explosive sports or long-distance workouts.
Knapman Compression Pants – Best used during intense training sessions or recovery phases, they help improve blood flow and reduce post-exercise soreness.
3. 🧦 Technical socks to avoid microtraumas
Often overlooked, socks actually play a crucial role in preventing blisters, plantar pain, and repetitive-impact injuries.
💡 Always have these in your bag:
Knapman Recovery Socks – Wear them after your session to speed up muscle recovery thanks to graduated compression that stimulates circulation.
TRUsox Grip Socks – Recommended during workouts or competitions for better stability inside your shoes, they reduce blister risk and improve push-off power.
4. ✅ The little extra? A smart post-workout routine
Once your training is done, don’t skip recovery—this is when your body rebuilds and gets stronger.
-
Reapply RS7 gel, this time in its post-workout role to ease tension.
-
Slip on your Knapman recovery socks within 30 minutes after training.
-
And why not keep your compression pants on for the rest of the day (or even overnight)? Many professional athletes rely on them for passive recovery.
