Our bodies respond to different situations in specific ways. As such, knowing how the body works during sports or recovery is crucial for designing the most efficient compression products.

Tritanium eXtend compression products were designed to provide the user with the correct compression pressure for each situation, allowing them to enjoy the maximum physiological benefits of compression clothing.

The eXtend compression products are the result of extensive research and development. They are manufactured using the latest cutting-edge technology to achieve a scientifically optimized compression pressure range. This precisely determined pressure gives your body the desired physiological effect – eXtend products deliver what they promise! Whether you're looking to enhance recovery or increase sensitivity during training, the eXtend product range features calf sleeves with the ideal pressure category for each purpose.

The collection includes products from two pressure categories. The higher-pressure eXtend High products are designed particularly for intensive training and competitive use. The eXtend Low products with a lower pressure category are designed to help with recovering from exercise/repetitive strain and for use while traveling.

All products in the eXtend collection have been developed with three key features in mind:

1. Optimizing performance
2. Enhancing recovery
3. Reducing the risk of injury

Benefits of eXtend compression clothing

Tritanium eXtend compression products can provide many benefits already before exercising, as well as during it and after.

Before – Be better prepared:

• Boosting the activation level of muscles
• Kickstarting metabolism
• Optimizing body temperature

During – Maximum performance:

• Enhanced blood flow => muscles receive more oxygen and energy
• Enhanced waste removal => optimal muscle function during exercise
• Activation of neuromuscular junctions => improved kinesthetic chain of movement and better feel for training
• Support for tissue => reduced microvibrations and risk of injury

After – Recover faster:

• Improved metabolism and function of the lymphatic system
• Faster removal of impurities (lactate) from the muscles
• Reduced post-performance tissue swelling and muscle soreness
• Faster preparation for the next performance

Choosing the correct compression product

Correctly functioning compression products must always indicate their compression pressure precisely, in units of millimetres of mercury (mmHg). Different levels of compression pressure effect the body and its tissues in different ways. As such, it’s important to choose the correct product for your purpose.

The Tritaniun eXtend range consists of the higher pressure category eXtend High products, which are designed especially for intensive training and competitive use. These products allow the user to optimize performance, improve confidence of motion and prevent repetitive strain injuries.

Tritanium eXtend Low product range with with a lower compression pressure were designed particularly for recovering from exercise and physical stress, but they are also ideal for work and travel use. These lower pressure category products help the muscles recover faster after a workout, and thus prepare the muscles for the next workout faster.

How does compression benefit the user?

The effects of compression products in sports use can be divided into three main categories: blood flow (veins), lymph flow (lymphatic system) and the nervous system (the skin directly underneath the compression product). Compression products can be used to increase external mechanical pressure on muscle tissue to achieve the desired physiological benefits for muscles, veins and the lymphatic system, the nervous and at deeper tissue level.

This external mechanical pressure reduces the diameter of veins, allowing their valves to close easier. This accelerates venous blood flow and enhances the removal of deoxygenated blood from the muscles. The lymphatic system, which transfers a liquid known as lymph, also receives a boost, kicking your body’s  own “waste management” into overdrive. Thanks to improved venous blood and lymphatic flow, the muscles receive more oxygen and impurities are removed faster.

Compression products’ effect on the nervous system is based largely on stimulating the skin and the muscles directly underneath the product. As compression pressure targets the skin underneath, it stimulates nerve endings in the skin, thus improving their capacity to transmit nerve impulses. This has the presumed effect of making the user “feel” the body part underneath the compression product better and become more aware of its motion (e.g. the throwing arm in basketball). However, this effect is less well known and researched than the effect compression has on the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid.

Thanks to these effects, Tritanium eXtend compression products help the user optimize performance, recover faster and significantly reduce the risk of repetitive strain and sports-related injuries.
