What can arm sleeves do for athletes?

If you pay attention to many major sports such as basketball, marathons, outdoor sports and other long-term, high-intensity sports, we can see that all athletes will wear an arm sleeve and leg sleeve. In fact, compression arm sleeves have been loved by athletes for a long time, because it can effectively prevent the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin, help sports recovery, increase muscle pressure, and protect the athlete’s arms. In this article, we will introduce the 12 reasons why athletes wear arm sleeves.

1.Protective function：When doing some physical labor or sports, arm sleeves can protect the arms from abrasions, cuts and collisions. For example, when riding, arm sleeves can reduce the damage caused by friction between the arms and the ground to a certain extent when falling; when doing gardening, they can prevent the arms from being scratched by plant thorns or sharp tools.

2.Sun protection function: Arm sleeves can effectively block ultraviolet rays and prevent skin sunburn and tanning. In particular, arm sleeves made of sun-proof materials, such as linen, can better reflect ultraviolet rays and protect the skin. Some high-tech fabrics (such as UPF sun-proof fabrics) can also effectively block ultraviolet rays and protect the skin from sunburn and tanning.

3.Warm and cold protection: For people who are active in cold environments, arm sleeves can play a role in keeping warm. It can wrap the arms, reduce heat loss, and keep the arms warm. For example, in winter running, skiing and other sports, wearing warm arm sleeves can keep the arms at a comfortable temperature to avoid affecting sports performance due to the cold.

4.Sweat-absorbent and breathable: During exercise or hot weather, the human body is prone to sweating, and the sweat-absorbent and breathable properties of the arm sleeve can help keep the arm dry. Some arm sleeves use breathable fabrics that can quickly absorb sweat and discharge it, keeping the skin comfortable and reducing discomfort and skin problems caused by sweat accumulation.

5.Decorative and beautiful: The colors and styles of arm sleeves are diverse and have a certain decorative effect. In the fashion field, arm sleeves can be used as an accessory to match clothing to show personal style and fashion taste. For example, in some stage performances, fashion shows or daily wear, unique arm sleeves can add points to the overall look.

6.Covering tattoos: Armbands can usually cover most areas of the arm. For tattoos on the arm, as long as the position and size of the tattoo are within the coverage of the armband, the armband can have a good covering effect. In some formal occasions where it is not appropriate to show tattoos (such as business meetings, school activities, etc.), or when you don’t want others to see the tattoo, wearing an armband can hide the tattoo more conveniently to avoid unnecessary attention or possible problems.

7.Relieve fatigue: Apply moderate pressure to the muscles, improve blood circulation, and reduce arm fatigue. In particular, compression armbands can help endurance performance in long-distance sports by compressing arm muscles, reducing shaking, and reducing energy consumption.

8.Anti-mosquito bites: Reduce the chance of mosquitoes directly contacting the skin during outdoor activities.

9.Promote blood circulation: Compression arm sleeves help reduce lactic acid accumulation and speed up recovery time by increasing blood circulation

10.Adapt to various sports scenarios: Arm sleeves are suitable for various sports scenarios, such as running, cycling, off-road, etc., to meet different sports needs
