Arm & Calf Sleeves

Arm and Leg Compression from 2XU for Women and Men

Arm and leg compression are effective ways to prevent lactic acid build-up and swelling in the muscles. 2XU's compression sleeves cover the full length of the arm to minimize muscle fatigue and soreness, which in turn improves your athletic performance and accelerates muscle recovery. These arm supports are ideal for many different types of training, at all levels.

Leg compression works in a similar way but focuses on the calf muscles. This is ideal for running and sports with a lot of running and movement. A so-called calf guard, or calf compression, is ideal if you prefer a footless compression stocking. This allows you to use your own favorite socks together with the calf compression.

The compression works by improving blood circulation in the forearms, elbows, biceps and calves. During long or intense training sessions, the muscles are subjected to many repetitive vibrations, which leads to muscle fatigue. Since 2XU's compression sleeves and calf guards keep the muscles in place and make them more compact, vibrations are reduced. This gives you better conditions to perform and recover.

Who is arm compression and leg compression suitable for?

Arm and leg compression is suitable for anyone who engages in some form of physical activity involving repetitive movements. This can include basketball players, football players, handball players or runners, among others. Most people can benefit from some form of compression garment to improve their performance.

Many people experience local pain and swelling in the muscles; shin splints are a common example. These calf supports or compression sleeves are then effective products that reduce swelling while also warming up the muscles, leading to direct pain relief over the problem area. For older individuals, it often involves circulatory issues that cause discomfort or swelling in, for example, the legs. In these situations, compression stockings or calf guards are excellent for improving blood circulation in the legs. On this page you will find all compression arm sleeves and compression garments for calves, or so-called calf guards, in 2XU's range.
