The Benefits of Compression Knee Sleeves Crossfit

Because of the nature of Crossfit, knee sleeves could be useful to you in one or more settings. You might use them during heavy lifts, for certain movements in WODs, or to simply keep your knees warm and fluid when you train. Crossfit athletes will likely benefit the most from knee sleeves that are both supportive and versatile.

If you plan to use them for WODs, you’ll want a pair that is strong enough to stabilize during heavy squats, but flexible enough to not feel constricting when running or rowing.

But why use them in the first place? For example, consider how often a Crossfit athlete might squat in a week. Take a given week of Monday’s heavy back squat session, Wednesday’s AMRAP with thrusters, and Saturday’s air squat assault. In all, that week of programming contains somewhere between 300-500 squats. That’s a lot of work on your knees.

Knee sleeves will keep your knees warm and stable while you work out, limiting injuries and keeping you feeling healthy.

Two benefits of any good pair of knee sleeves include:

Stability

The compression that your knee sleeves offer will keep your knees stable when squatting or performing other Crossfit movements. This will decrease your chance of injury and allow you to perform better when doing heavier, more explosive lifts.

Joint Warmth

Whether you are performing a 3RM squat or warming up with a PVC pipe, cold joints never feel good. Good knee sleeves will increase blood flow to your knees and keep them warm throughout your workout, helping you to be more fluid and powerful with your movements.

Things To Consider When Buying Knee Sleeves for Crossfit

So now you know what knee sleeves are, and how they’ll help you. You know they should be supportive, but not constricting. There’s a few other factors to consider first to make sure you are buying the right pair of knee sleeves for you and your fitness goals.

Thickness

When you start shopping around, you’ll learn that you must choose the thickness of your knee sleeves.

Here is a brief description on the three measurements you are most likely to come across.

• 3mm– Ideal for endurance workouts or endurance athletes.
• 5mm– Ideal for mixed activities, like a WOD in CrossFit or any other type of cross training.
• 7mm– Ideal for heavy lifting or any movement that requires heavy stabilization.

Material

It’s important to consider the material of your knee sleeves, because each material will provide a different feel and different benefits.

For example, if you only need them for heavy squats, you’ll want a pair that offers less flexibility and more stability.

Here is a brief description of the materials you will find:

• Cloth – offers light support and joint warmth. Cloth will likely wear down quicker than others with high volume exercise, but will endure basic lifting.
• Neoprene – supportive, medium level of thickness. Neoprene is not very versatile, can lose compression quickly after heavily uses.
• Knee Wraps – adjustable, supportive, but not always stable during workouts with variety. Good for warming up joints prior to a workout or heavy lifts.
• Knitted – the sports-strength knitted or weaved fabric sleeves for crossfit are revolutionary – most supportive, versatile, flexible and breathable.

While neoprene sleeves are widely used for crossfit currently, the newly introduced Neo Sports Lab NeoAlly sports-strength knitted knee sleeves are thick and strong, versatile and breathable, so they are the best alternate sleeves for crossfit.

Mobility

Mobility comes down to personal preference. Some people enjoy the mildly constricting feeling of a thick knee sleeve, ensuring their joints are supported. Others prefer the joint warming benefits of a light sleeve and don’t like the sensation of limited mobility.
