Crossfit Knee Sleeves

Crossfit Braces & Compression Range

WHY SHOULD YOU WEAR KNEE SLEEVES DURING CROSSFIT?

 

Crossfit involves rapid movements with weights which can put pressure on the knees and increase the risk of injury. Furthermore, crossfit involves exercises with squatting movements and lunges which put high pressure on the knee joint.

Lack of stretching at the beginning of the workout and incorrect technique and form can further increase the risk of injury in crossfitters.

Wearing a Bauerfeind GenuTrain knee brace or Sports Knee Support can protect your knees and enhance your mobility during your crossfit workout. The knee brace or the knee sleeve stabilises the knee joint and the massaging pads increases the blood flow to the knee during movement. 

Bauerfeind knee braces and Sports Knee Support have medical-grade compression, unlike the low-grade compression offered in Sportswear by most brands in Australia.

The medical-grade compression allows elimination of lactic acid from the knee joint by oxygenating the surrounding muscles. It enhances crossfit performance and improves recovery rates in athletes. 

 

Why Neoprene doesn't work

 

We do not recommend using a cheap neoprene knee brace or knee sleeves. These sleeves offer little support and do not wick moisture. Combined this decreases the durability of the knee brace.

Using a 3D weave and moisture wicking fabric, Bauerfeind knee braces are ideal for both everyday and sports use. As the old saying goes, you do get what you pay for.
