Compression shorts for cycling offer significant advantages over traditional padded Lycra shorts. Kinetik Cycling Shorts with XPower technology reduce fatigue and muscle oscillation, which translates to riding longer, recovering faster, and improving endurance.
Comfort and performance combine to make the Kinetik Men's Cycling Shorts a true upgrade for any cyclist. A wide elastic waistband provides lumbar compression and connects to a moisture-evaporating mesh panel that encircles the hips. A compression panel reaches from the gluteus muscle group to the quadriceps to reduce muscle oscillation, enhancing endurance. On the back of the leg, another compression panel cradles the hamstrings. Generous silicone-free elastic grips hold the shorts in place on the thigh, and an anatomic pad cushions the rider on the saddle.
The Science of Compression
Compression gear improves your venous return and therefore improves the rate at which oxygen flows around your body. Compression gear holds your muscles tight so your muscles vibrates less and you will actually take longer strides and perform better. By minimizing muscle vibration you reduce small muscle tears and automatically reduce soreness in legs the next day. Compression gear also helps reduce the lactic acid build up by flushing out circulating toxins thus helping you recover faster. If you wear them for recovery, you will get all the vascular benefits and speed up your recovery. By controlling the vibration you improve the efficiency of your muscles and its oscillation, and in turn, improve balance.
