Marathon Running and Muscle Soreness

In February 2007 The Journal of Sports Science published the results of the first study to examine the use of graduated compression socks (GCS) during and after the participants performed a fast-paced continuous 10-km road run.
There was a marked difference in the frequency of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) 24 hours after the exercise.
“A staggering 86% of the participants wearing GCS experienced no DOMS at all, compared to just 7% wearing regular ankle socks.”
This study has probably been more responsible for the explosion of knee high compression socks among elite triathletes than anything has.
In an article titled: Compression Socks Make an Impression, The New York Times coverage of the 2008 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii reported that
“415 of the 1,677 competitors in the run portion of the race wore the graduated compression socks … to increase blood flow and more evenly distribute muscle strain.”
By now you’re getting the picture that the pro’s running and recovering in Energizing Socks with graduated compression are getting some serious advantages. Now imagine the advantages of wearing Energizing Socks with graduated compression for your roadwork, racing and recovery periods.
I have been researching the subject of compression for a long time and have put my combined findings into a downloadable report: The Running Insider Report. This is a detailed report citing actual clinical studies and explains all of the advantages of wearing SmoothToe Energizing Socks. Just click on the link for your free copy.
