Starting good habits when you are young can relieve you of a lifetime of pain later.
An ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure.
As a female freestyle wrestler, have you thought about the benefits of wearing compression attire, especially during practice?
Compression garments are pieces of clothing that fit tightly around the skin.
These athletic garments can come in varying degrees of compression, and higher degree compression sleeves, such as sleeves that provide compression of 20–30 mmHg or higher, typically require a doctor’s prescription.
Compression garments worn on the legs can help prevent deep vein thrombosis and reduce swelling, especially while traveling or competing.
Compression shorts and tights are usually worn by female athletes.
They are form-fitting garments and cover the wearer’s waist to mid or lower thigh, similar to cycling shorts.
Too, Compression shorts are also popular among female athletes, especially amongst those who wear skirts or kilts during games.
In those situations, athletes wear compression shorts under the skirt so if they fall over and their skirts ride up, their underwear will not be exposed. This is seen particularly in women’s lacrosse and field hockey.
For female freestyle grapplers, we are thinking of arm sleeves or knee and thigh supports.
We love compression wear because in our circle, we have found that the extra support is extremely beneficial in injury prevention.
Here is an intriguing book that speaks to the benefits of athletic compression wear.
Compression Garments in Sports: Athletic Performance and Recovery
By Florian Engel, Billy Sperlich
“This book presents recent research addressing the effects of different types of compression clothing on sport performance and recovery after exercise. It is also the first book that summarizes the effects of compression clothing on all main motor abilities in the context of various sports, offering a wealth of practical guidelines on how to optimize performance and recovery with the help of compression clothing.
The book examines the effects of this clothing on physiological, psychological and biomechanical parameters including endurance, speed, strength, power, and motor control.
It explains the basic principles involved in the reasonable application of compression garments in connection with different kinds of exercise, and describes the essential mechanisms of how compression garments work in a reader-friendly format that addresses the needs of researchers, athletes and coaches alike.”
Sounds detailed and extensive. It is something you might want to check out, perhaps even rent it out from a library if available.
Now we focus on the compression singlet.
Here is what one manufacturer has to offer at wrestlersupply.com
“At Wrestler Supply, we truly value our female customers.
We are proud of the many female wrestlers who are creating a name for themselves in the wrestling industry. We are happy to supply these women with the gear they need to win.
We love our Cliff Keen Swift Stock Women’s Compression Gear Singlet. This singlet can’t be beat, and it will help you take your skills to the next level. You’ll stay cool and comfortable in MXS compression gear lycra.

Very impressive.
We always like to get a second opinion about subjects important to us.
We now turn to a visiting writer who shares his opinion of the importance of an athlete, like yourself, purchasing compression athletic wear.
Compression Clothing For Athletes and Sports Enthusiasts
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts are increasingly using compression clothing, such as elastic vests, tights and shorts, for better style, fit, performance enhancement and injury prevention. Many studies prove the efficacy of these clothing in restoring an athlete’s the original metabolic balance after rigorous training.
Compression Clothing: Benefits
Different people use compression clothing for different reasons. For instance, an athlete may use it to prevent injuries, while others may prefer this for its style or fit. There are clinical studies that prove the efficacy of compression clothing in fighting venous thrombosis. Compression wear achieves this through directing more blood to the lower parts of the body.
Performance enhancement: Several studies also indicate the role of compression wear in enhancing athletic performance. This is achieved through the prevention of the early onset of muscle fatigue. Studies also indicate the effectiveness of compression wear in enhancing sprinters’ performance. This is facilitated through easier hip angle changes that lead to more frequent strides. The firm support of these clothing helps athletes perform in a better and efficient manner.
Faster recovery: Researches also prove the efficacy of compression clothing in facilitating athletes’ prevention of and recovery from injuries. Also, women who wear these clothing are less prone to develop swelling than those who don’t. Even during exercises, athletes who wear these clothing are less affected by humidity.
Blood lactate: Scientists speculate that the increased venous return caused by compression clothing helps in the fast removal of blood lactate from the exercising muscles.
Climate Control: These clothing also helps in maintaining an optimum body temperature, which keeps the muscles and ready for the forthcoming activities. The clothing also allows free air circulation and hence, keeps the body dry. Most of these clothing can maintain optimum body temperatures in both summer and winter.
Many studies also suggest a relationship between clothing and the natural biological mechanisms. We know that rigorous training sessions exert substantial strain on athletes, and each of them takes different time frame to recover from fatigue and injuries. Athletes using compression wear are known to regain their original metabolic balance faster, so that they feel normal within a few minutes of the workout. This is in addition to the faster recovery that is brought about by the clothing.
