Innovative training gear maker Zensah has developed a series of high-
performance compression clothing using a proprietary knitting process and
materials. The company's bestselling dual action shin sleeve treats shin
splints and calf pulls, reducing the risk of injury and alleviating pain. The
sleeve's front is designed to prevent shin splints by incorporating a ribbed
chevron pattern to help support muscles in the shin area. The deep groove
ribbing also helps increase blood circulation, getting oxygen to the muscles
faster, while the back of the sleeve provides support of the calf and Achilles
tendon with micro ribbing and vertical line which mimic the calf muscles.

**About Compression**
Graduated compression features the greatest amount of compression in the part
of the garment farthest away from the heart, and the least amount compression
in the part closest to the heart (for example, socks have more compression in
the ankle and less in the calf). With graduated compression, veins' cross
sectional area is decreased and a pressure gradient is created, which leads to
physiological benefits including:
* Deoxygenated blood goes back to the heart faster as a result of improved venous return, thus enhancing blood circulation throughout the body
* Faster recovery following strenuous exercise and improved performance, by aiding in the removal of blood lactate
* Reduced blood lactate concentration during maximal exercise bouts, allowing for an increased lactic threshold for improved performance
* Enhanced warm-up via increases in skin temperature
* Reduced muscle oscillation and vibration upon ground contact, providing stability to the muscle to help prevent micro-trauma, making for a faster and easier recovery
* Reduced effects of delayed onset muscle soreness in the days following strenuous exercise through alleviating swelling and inflammation
* Increased muscle support, which increases performance through improved muscle efficiency
* Improved leg power and vertical jump through enhanced proprioception
Studies have shown that those that have gained most by wearing compression are
those transitioning from an inactive to active lifestyle. Older populations
have experienced great benefits from use of compression socks and sleeves.
Amateur athletes may see physiological improvements through using compression.
**About Zensah**
Based on the Italian word "senza," meaning "to be without," Zensah was created
to help athletes at all levels improve their performance by utilizing unique,
seamless sportswear designed to enhance performance and speed recovery. The
company's innovative seamless design consists of a breathable, moisture-
wicking fabric that draws sweat away from the body, allowing the garment and
athlete to stay cool, dry, and light.
The Zensah Shin Splint/Calf Compression Sleeve provides dual action support
and compression to the calf and shin area for muscles support and pain relief.
The chevron ribbing at front helps to alleviate shin splints. Graduated, pin-
point compression provides shin and calf support to reduce strain and sooth
cramps.
Zensah uses a special seamless knitting process for a fabric that is soft,
breathlable and wicks moisture.
The Shin Splint/Calf Compression Sleeve are also valuable recovery aids since
the more oxygen the muscles receive, the faster they recovery allowing
athletes to push the envelope in their training. The Zensah Calf/Shin sleeve
is ideal for runners, cyclists and triathletes.
Sold in single units. Purchase two if you require a pair.
Compression Leg Sleeves Sizing
When choosing a size, calf size should be used as the primary determinant.
Measure the calf at the widest point. We list height for those who do not know
their calf size. If between two sizes, recommend sizing down.
Size| Calf Diameter| Height
---|---|---
XS/S| 9.5 to 12.5 inches| 5 feet, 3 inches and below
S/M| 12.5 to 15 inches| 5 feet, 4 inches to 5 feet, 10 inches
L/XL| 15 inches and up| 5 feet, 11 inches and up
