COMPRESSION garments worn by athletes to keep muscles warm may improve performance by reducing muscle fatigue.
Dale Lovell and colleagues at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, measured lactate levels in 25 rugby players after they'd exercised wearing either spandex-like compression garments or regular shorts.
Lactate levels were significantly lower in players kitted out in the compression garments, possibly because they stimulate blood flow that clears the substance. Lactate is associated with muscle fatigue, quick removal may improve performance (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, DOI: 10.1519/JSC.0b013e31821764f8).

This latest innovation from Solidea is a new and exciting way to invigorate the life of your legs.
Using FIR (far infrared rays) technology, the yarn in the Solidea Red Wellness Opaque Support Tights is manufactured with a mineral additive that effectively converts the thermal energy of the body, so that it is reflected back to the skin tissue for improvement of blood flow on the skins surface. This helps smooth the skin and helps fight the effects of cellulite.
With the graduated compression to help improve the blood flow in your legs, and the fir technology working to improve the skins feel and tone, you'll keep your legs looking and feeling sexier for longer and get a great sense of well being everytime you wear them.
You will not feel any heating sensation and they are not intended for use as thermals, so you can remain comfortable at all times.
Super, smooth opaque support tights with a lightweight graduated compression of 12-15 mmHg, the Solidea Red Wellness Opaque Support Tights are available in 4 colours, Black, Green, Blue and Brown Plum, giving you fashionable options for your wardrobe.
Unlike the micromassage and silver wave anti-cellulite products, these do not leave wave-like furrows in the skin, just a silky smoothness after every wear.

World champion of indoor bowls, Greg Harlow, is now using our Solidea Active Technological socks for tournaments & training. We've had great feedback from him saying that although he can feel the difference when he wears the socks for tournaments, he feels the benefit most during the recovery period after the games have been played. He mentioned that his legs were quite achy after playing on concrete for over 4 hours at a time during games and was willing to try our graduated compression socks to see if it would improve his achy legs. After just a few days of wearing them, he has said that he definately feels the difference, in both game play and recovery.
