Our bodies respond to different situations in varying ways, and knowledge of the body's functions during exercise and recovery is crucial for designing a perfectly optimized compression product.
Tritanium eXtend compression products were designed to account for these varying responses. They provide exact compression pressure for each situation and thereby help achieve the maximum physiological benefits a compression product can provide.
The eXtend compression products are the result of continuous innovation and development. They are made using cutting-edge technology and they provide compression pressure at a scientifically optimized range. This exact compression pressure allows the body to achieve the desired effect – eXtend products deliver what they promise! Whether you’re looking to enhance recovery or optimize sensitivity during exercise, the eXtend product range has the perfect choice for your needs.
The collection includes products of two different pressure categories: eXtend High products are specially designed for intensive training and competitive use, while eXtend Low products with a lower pressure range are intended for post-workout recovery and travel use.
All products in the eXtend collection were designed with three key features in mind:
- Optimizing performance
- Enhancing recovery
- Reducing the risk of injury
Benefits of eXtend compression products
Tritanium eXtend compression products provide numerous benefits before and during exercise, and while recovering.
Before – Prepare more efficiently:
- Increased levels of muscle activation
- Metabolic stimulation
- Optimized body temperature
During – Maximum performance:
- Enhanced blood flow => muscles receive more oxygen and energy
- Enhanced removal of waste products => optimal muscle functionality during exercise
- Activation of neuromuscular connections => improved kinaesthetic chain of movement and better feel for exercise
- Tissue-supporting effect => reduced micro-vibrations of the muscles, reduced risk of injury
After – Recover faster:
- Enhanced metabolism and lymphatic system functions
- Accelerated removal of impurities (lactate) from the muscles
- Reduced post-workout tissue swelling and muscle soreness
- Faster preparation for the next workout
Choosing the right compression product
To ensure proper functionality, compression products must always accurately state their amount of compression pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Different levels of compression pressure can affect the body and tissues in different ways, making it important to choose the right product.
Tritanium's eXtend collection includes eXtend High products of a higher pressure category, which are designed especially for intensive training and competitive use. A higher level of compression pressure helps the user optimize performance, while improving comfort and preventing repetitive strain injuries.
The lower pressure category eXtend Low products on the other hand are intended for post-workout recovery, as well as work and travel use. Lower compression pressure helps the muscles recover faster after a workout, thus preparing them for the next one faster.
What makes compression so beneficial?
The effects of compression products for sports purposes can be divided into three main categories: blood flow (veins), lymphatic fluid flow (lymphatic system) and the nervous system (the skin directly underneath the compression product). Compression support increases the external mechanical pressure on tissues in a controlled manner, resulting in the desired effects on muscles, the flow of blood and lymphatic fluids as well as the nervous system and deeper tissue levels.
This external mechanical pressure reduces the diameter of blood vessels, thanks to which the venous valves close more easily, resulting in enhanced venous blood flow (i.e. deoxygenated blood travels is removed from the muscles faster). The pressure also boosts the lymphatic system, which transports lymphatic fluids, allowing the body’s own "waste management" to work more efficiently. Thanks to the enhanced flow of blood and lymphatic fluid, the muscles receive more oxygen and impurities are removed faster.
The effect of compression products on the nervous system is based largely on the stimulation of the nerves of the skin and muscles underneath the product. When a compression product presses down on skin, it stimulates the nerve endings and improves their ability to conduct nerve impulses. This allows the user to “feel” the part of their body underneath the compression clothing more intuitively, making them more aware of e.g. their hand position.
As a result, Tritanium eXtend compression products can achieve optimal performance, comfort, accelerated recovery and a significant reduction in repetitive stress and sports-related injuries.
