Excellence under pressure


Your workouts just got easier, faster and more powerful. And those PBs? You’re about the smash them. No more sluggish performances. No more sore legs. All you need are Skins™ and determination


enhance their recovery. Contrary to popular belief, Skins aren’t a base layer that athletes wear to keep warm. In fact, non-thermal Skins actually help regulate your body temperature — a benefit you may not have known you needed. Keeping your muscles temperate means, they’re less likely to get injured. Instead, Skins are compression


S


sportswear engineered to support your muscles while optimising the process your body goes through that keeps you more active for longer. Tat’s why Skins’ compression is known as the natural performance enhancer. Over 25 years of research, devel-


opment and scientific scrutiny have gone into our compression garments. Admittedly, the use of compression in medical terms has been around for almost a century. But over 25 years ago, it was the inventor of Skins who not


only thought about applying


medical compression principles to a sporting context but actually did something about it. For years, professional athletes


and sportspeople were the only ones reaping the benefits of compression sportswear. Nowadays, everyone can enjoy the benefits, but what makes Skins special? Its compression sportswear is made from warp-knit


fabrics, creating


strong and long-lasting compression. In addition, its complex network of


intelligently placed panelling is


what creates the famous graduated compression. Combine the two, and you have competition-winning compression sportswear. OK, so what are the benefits? Let’s use our Series-3 Long Tights


as an example. During activity, body movements put a significant amount of pressure through the body, effecting the performance of our muscles. Te Long Tights wrap the muscle bellies in the calves, quads and glutes with a medium-high compression profile. Tis reduces muscle vibrations, which is a good thing because when your muscles vibrate (or oscillate eccentrically), you lose energy. Tey


kins Compression Sportswear is for any athlete looking to improve their performance and


By applying the right pressure to the ‘blue’ veins that bring used blood back to the heart, the blood return is accelerated, meaning more blood is oxygenated more quickly and delivered to working muscles, so you can work harder and more efficiently


also reduce fatigue through impact damage and give you more control of limb placement, position, and movement, which means better form and they’re known to reduce the risk of injury. Above all, Skins Long Tights assist


blood circulation. By applying the right pressure to the ‘blue’ veins that bring the used blood back to the heart, the blood return is acceler- ated, meaning more blood is oxygen- ated, more quickly and delivered to your working muscles. Tis is impor- tant because it means you can work harder and more efficiently. As well as this, the increased blood circula- tion assists in the dissipation of waste products, such as lactic acid build-up, which is the stuff that makes you sore the next day. However, applying random pressure


won’t help. You need to apply the right pressure to the right area. Too much pressure in the wrong place can create circulation issues and impede perfor- mance. Tat’s why people use Skins. Its targeted graduated compres- sion is like no other. Te company is in the game of athletic excellence, not impeding performance. Hence, Excellence Under Pressure.
