Injury prevention and recovery for running

Running is one of the sports with the highest repetitive impact on the body: every stride puts muscles, tendons, and joints under cumulative strain that, without proper protection, can lead to groin strain, hamstring tears, calf and soleus overload, knee discomfort, or ankle sprains. Progressive muscle fatigue and the vibration generated with every foot strike are also among the leading causes of injury over the medium and long term for runners of all levels.

At Solusports, Knapman's graduated compression is the foundation of our recommendation for runners, 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 every long run. Knapman calf sleeves offer the same benefit more specifically for the calf and soleus, ideal if your discomfort is concentrated in that area. For the upper leg, Knapman short and long compression shorts (25% and 45%) protect the hamstrings and quadriceps during long runs or speed sessions, and are equally effective for groin strain and the adductors, which are constantly under strain with every stride. 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 training session, relieving inflammation after a long run or relaxing the muscles before heading out, and RS7 Plus capsules support your joints from within to accompany you through every kilometre you run.
