Injury prevention and recovery for athletics

Athletics places very different demands on the body depending on the discipline: the explosiveness of sprints and jumps, the sudden changes of rhythm over hurdles, or the repeated impact of endurance events. This variety of demands makes hamstring tears, groin strain and adductor pulls, calf and soleus overload, knee discomfort, and ankle sprains particularly common among athletes, especially in sprint and jump events where the muscles work at their limit with every push-off.

At Solusports, Knapman's graduated compression is the foundation of our recommendation for athletes, as it adapts to each part of the leg according to its specific needs:

Knapman compression socks, with their graduated compression technology (stronger at the ankle, lighter towards the knee), support venous return, reduce muscle fatigue, and speed up recovery after intense reps or competition. Knapman calf sleeves offer the same benefit more specifically for the calf and soleus, especially useful in sprint and jump events where this area takes constant explosive impact. For the upper leg, Knapman short and long compression shorts (25% and 45%) protect the hamstrings and quadriceps during sprints and strength sessions, and are equally effective for groin strain and the adductors, heavily loaded with every push-off. As a specific alternative for this last area, Shortystrap compression shorts offer support focused exclusively on groin strain and the adductors.

As a complement, the RS7 hot/cold gel helps you recover after every demanding session, relieving inflammation after competition or relaxing the muscles before a sprint session, and RS7 Plus capsules support your joints from within to accompany you through every training session.
