If we asked you to consider compression garments, your grandmother may spring to mind. Those beige coloured old stockings used to combat varicose veins, right? But it’s not just the elderly or frequent fliers who benefit from compression garments – in fact, they can be really useful to athletes.

Your body can sometimes let you down in the form of injury, muscle and joint conditions and more. While an inconvenience, this doesn't have to have a drastic effect on your quality of life, and there are products out there that can help you get back to your best. Bauerfeind is one of the best choices in this regard, with a comprehensive range of supports and braces for a wide range of conditions.

It can be tough to find high-quality sportswear at a reasonable price these days, especially if you're looking for cycling-specific gear. Thanks to the fickle nature of the British weather, you can be in brilliant sunshine one minute, and struggling through wind and rain the next, so you need apparel that's versatile and up to the task.

What you wear matters. If you're serious about your training, you'll want to give yourself every advantage you can, as well as protection against the elements, but not if it breaks the bank. That's where More Mile comes in.

One of the worst parts of being dedicated to sport is the injuries it can bring. From a sprained ankle to tennis elbow, sports injuries can knock you off your game and keep you away from sport for much longer than anyone wants to.
That’s where Thermoskin come in: their massive range of supports and braces has been developed to provide a spectacular level of support to wherever you’re hurting. Since 1985 they have been making products designed to give you the support you need so that you can get off the bench and get back onto the field.

When it comes to your workout, there are two things which you should always strive for: comfort and support. This might sound like something your mum would say, a little unexciting compared to other aims such as being able to lift the next weight up or nailing that tricky yoga position.

But the fact is, without adequate comfort and support, you are less likely to achieve your bigger aims. You wouldn’t expect Mo Farah to have got where he has in trainers which gave him blisters, would you?   

Sweating is associated with feeling hot, but in fact it’s something that helps keep you cool by allowing heat to evaporate away from your body. After a good work out session you’ll likely be feeling energised and optimistic, the sweat giving you a healthy, rosy glow - a visual sign of what you have achieved. You earned that sweat!

However, sweating can cause great discomfort. With chafing, itchiness, odour, fungal infection, ruined clothes and embarrassing social situations being just some of the unfortunate outcomes of sweating, it’s no wonder there’s such a high demand for antiperspirant products. 

The New Year is coming up and it’s time for those resolutions. The promises we manage to keep. The ones we at least make the effort to keep before surrendering. And the ones we wonder why we made them in the first place.

Injury can be a downer for anyone, especially elite athletes. If you're an experienced sportsman you know that it could strike at any time, negatively impacting your performance on the pitch, the court or the track, and even putting you out of action completely. If you take the right precautions though, damage could be limited, and you could be on the mend in no time. That's when Donjoy comes in. With an extensive range of supports and braces, they ensure that you will feel safe and secure while you're rehabilitating, and allow you to continue your active lifestyle with minimal discomfort.
