Tigers Take on Two-a-Days in Compression
As the Middlebury Tigers prepare for their D-II season, they're turning to compression gear to help them power through grueling summer two-a-days. Brands like 2XU and Under Armour are popular choices among the team, with products like the 2XU Run Compression Tights ($80-$120) and the Under Armour Speedform Compression Short ($40-$60). These high-tech garments provide graduated compression, which helps increase blood flow and reduce muscle soreness. For D-II athletes, this is especially important, as they often have to push themselves harder due to smaller team sizes and fewer substitutes. To help your own athlete perform at their best, consider investing in a good pair of compression socks or tights. Look for products with a compression rating of 15-20 mmHg for optimal benefits.
