Graduated compression socks work with specific elevated pressure up the legs at precies mmHg ratings. Typically the pressure is tighter at the ankles and looser, going up the legs to help blood flow freely instead of pooling. The arteries taking oxygenated blood to your muscles are able to relax, allowing your blood to flow freely. At the same time, the veins get boosted, pushing deoxygenated blood back to your heart and lymph nodes.
With STOX Energy Socks you will experience fewer injuries, muscle pain and speed up recovery after training. The graduated compression in our socks stimulates blood circulation in your legs. This results in an improved drainage of moisture and waste fluids. This way you experience less tired legs, both during and after exercise.
The tight fit of our hiking socks exerts constant, light pressure on the calf and helps the muscles to let blood flow faster and supply the muscles with more oxygen. The increased oxygen supply leads to more endurance and a reduced risk of getting muscle fatigue.
93% of the runners with traditional running socks had muscle pain after a run of 10 kilometers. Only 14% had muscle pain after running 10 kilometers with sport compression running socks. A. Ali, M.P.
