Under Armor’s Recovery Suit
It’s a compression suit that the company has designed for athletes to wear for 24 hours after their big workouts. Under Armour says it helps reduce swelling and soreness time and re-energizes the body for the next workout.
“Right now we’re seeing this on athletes across all major sports leagues — NHL, NFL and MLB — so it’s starting at the top level,” said David Ayers, Under Armour’s director of product creation.
“But this is a science that can benefit all athletes, from guys and girls just getting off the couch for the first time and are just going out for a run and feeling aches and pains the next day. It’s as much for them as it is for the world class athlete.”
Under Armour worked with the University of Connecticut to test athletes and to support the claims for this product. For optimal results, the company recommends athletes put it on within two hours of finishing a workout and wear it for 24 hours.
