Survepüksid

Survepüksid, often translated as compression tights or compression leggings, are a type of athletic apparel designed to exert graduated pressure on the legs. This pressure is typically greatest at the ankle and gradually decreases as it moves up the leg towards the thigh. The primary purpose of survepüksid is to improve blood circulation in the legs.

The graduated compression is believed to aid venous return, the process by which deoxygenated blood travels back to the heart from the extremities. By supporting the veins and reducing their tendency to dilate, survepüksid may help prevent blood from pooling in the lower legs. This can lead to a reduction in fatigue and muscle soreness, especially after strenuous physical activity.

Athletes often wear survepüksid during and after workouts, as well as during long periods of travel where circulation can be compromised. Some individuals also use them for medical reasons, such as managing conditions like varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis, although it is important to consult a healthcare professional for such applications. The materials used in survepüksid are typically a blend of synthetic fabrics like nylon and spandex, providing both elasticity and durability. The fit is crucial, as overly tight or loose garments can be ineffective or uncomfortable.
