SKINS are cut to hold your muscles against your frame in the right places to help reduce this vibration and improve muscle focus and awareness (proprioception). Other garments have static compression (similar tightness everywhere) &#8211; and don&#8217;t support your muscles in the same way SKINS does.<\/p>\n<p>SKINS also feature distinctive muscle wrapping seams. These help to provide the right compression level and support muscle groups through their full range of movement &#8211; increasing your power and endurance even more.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-7\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-7\">WHAT IS GRADIENT COMPRESSION AND HOW DO SKINS WORK?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-7\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-7\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The body adopts a venous blood system delivering oxygenated blood to the muscles and returning used blood to the heart. The veins returning used blood to the heart sit closer to the skin&#8217;s surface; this is why you sometimes see &#8216;blue&#8217; or dark veins near the surface.<\/p>\n<p>SKINS compression applies pressure to these &#8216;blue&#8217; veins accelerating the blood flow back to the heart. SKINS pioneered engineered gradient compression following years of research. When you apply compression to specific body parts in a balanced and accurate way, it accelerates blood flow. This means you get more oxygen to your working muscles &#8211; boosting your performance.<\/p>\n<p>Better blood flow also helps your body to get rid of lactic acid and other metabolic wastes &#8211; which helps you work at a higher rate for longer. Plus, improved oxygenation reduces the effects of delayed onset muscle soreness and accelerates muscle repair. SKINS engineered gradient compression plays a big part in helping you recover from exercise too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinscompression.com\/au\/discover-compression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discover more about compression\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--label-8\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-8\">WHY ARE SKINS DIFFERENT TO OTHER COMPRESSION SPORTSWEAR BRANDS?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" id=\"fl-accordion--icon-8\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"fl-accordion--panel-8\"><i>Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>SKINS are different because their unique combination of features works better than any single component.
