Lexica says:

Also, these products can help you recover from workouts by keeping capillaries dilated even after your workout is finished, speeding clearance of waste products and letting you recover faster.

To get the maximum recovery benefit, you should wear your compression products for a minimum of two hours following the workout. However, studies have shown significant improvement in the clearing of waste products in as little as twenty minutes!

In addition, wearing these products during exercise can help stabilize muscle groups and make them work more efficiently.

              The technology itself is not new, but it has steadily been gaining 
              a foothold in the running market. So why has this technology taken 
              off? Simply put, because it works. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://jeffgalloway.com/resources/news_archives/apr09.html"><P>Studies have shown that compression apparel (including socks, tights, 
              and leg sleeves) helps to both reduce fatigue and improve recovery.
