WHY COMPRESSION?Every muscle cell needs energy in the form of oxygen. This is transported to the muscles via the blood. The better the blood flow in the arteries, the better the muscles are supplied – and precisely this supply can be positively influenced by compression.But, not all types of compression are the same.
PROVEN TO REDUCE INJURYPulled Hamstring:Reduces muscle vibration, increases oxygen and provides medical grade compression for the thigh.Injured Quads:Reduces quad vibration, increases oxygen and provides medical grade compression for the thigh.IT Band Issues:Reduces vibration on the IT Band, increases oxygen and provides medical grade compression for the thigh.
I just ran the Atlanta Half Marathon, I bought the shorts as I had pulled a muscle earlier and looked for a miracle short to keep my injury ok and let me run. Found it. BIG FAN NOW.

I made the switch to these compression shorts from bog standard under armor ones about midway through my training plan for the 2013 Edinburgh marathon. At the time, I was struggling with some nagging IT band issues and wasn't able to train at 100%. I am convinced that the combination of these shorts and an expanded stretching and foam rolling program helped to eliminate my issues and kept them from coming back for the rest of my plan. I think that they helped me to a sub 2:45 race in very hot conditions on the day, too. The CEP compression shorts provide serious muscle and IT band support for running. It is crucial to get the correct size, but once that is sorted, they are fantastic.

I used to be constantly pulling my quad muscle. Every time I would start to train for a marathon, I'd end up sidelined for days or a week at a time. Started wearing these shorts at the start of my latest training cycle and haven't had a single issue since. And was able to cut 7 minutes off my half marathon PR! Couldn't be happier with these shorts.
I was referred to get compression shorts because I kept pulling my hamstring. I searched online and CEP seemed to be the best I read about for my needs. Bought a pair and have been pleasantly surprised at how well they work for me. I have not had any problems since I bought them a few months ago. I am logging in more miles and increasing my speed. Best investment so far for me! Thanks CEP.
I do love the compression points on these shorts, they rival any of the higher quality brands on the market place. My only issue is they seem to fit a bit more snug and do provide a challege in putting them on. However, once running the snug feeling is not an issue giving a lot of support to the big muscle groups in the upper leg and butt.
The compression men short should be sized differently. I am a large, waist size 35 and I purchased a large size. The Item I received is too tight, it is more like a Medium I gave to a friend who is a waist size 32 and it fits him well. Construction is very good and quality is also good but sizing should be reviewed
