Compressport - R2 Calf Guard

Compressport - R2 Calf Guard

 The number one calf guard worn at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, 2010.

The Product: 

The R2 Calf Guards are an absolute classic and suitable for all athletes of differing abilities and sports. The guards are designed to improve your venous return during and after exercise in order to reduce the amount of toxins in your blood. By increasing the oxygenation of the blood returning to your calf muscles, lactic acid build-up is reduced, muscle fatigue is delayed and the risk of cramp and injury is reduced.  

These guards protect you from injury in a multitude of ways. The material provides much needed rigidity in order to support your muscles and the shock absorption properties that the fabric offers also protect your calf muscles from long term damage.

As well as protection, the guards enhance your recovery post-exercise. Their compressive fabric continues to work: increasing blood flow, flushing out the toxins and reducing the risk of pesky Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (that can catch us all out at times!) 

Made from incredibly light fabrics unique to Compressport, these guards are designed to encourage the transfer of heat away from your skin as well as rapidly wicking away moisture in order to regulate your body temperature. 

Key Features: 

• ULTRA SUPPORTIVE – the compressive nature of the fabric will combat muscle oscillations and provide stability whilst also reducing and absorbing vibrations to lower your risk of injury. 

• RECOVERY ENHANCING – the guards help to improve your blood circulation. By increasing the amount of oxygen reaching your muscles and reducing the levels of toxins in them, they will help you to recover more quickly.

• INJURY PREVENTATIVE - the guards help to prevent muscle tears, joint pain, contractures, micro-injuries and muscle fatigue 
  
  

• TAILOR FIT – as the guards are sized according to your leg muscle size they will give you compression where you need it most.

• THERMODYNAMIC – the guards will help to encourage circulation to the surface of the skin and can improve your thermo-regulation by 51%. Compressport’s unique woven fabric can ‘mirror-effect’ your skin to provide further temperature control. Your guards will feel like a second skin: keeping you warm in the winter and cooler in the summer.
