To date, there are no large-scale, well-designed studies that have revealed a meaningful link between compression garments and improved athletic performance.Health and Care stock a huge range of supports and braces to help people move with confidence. While some small studies have shown a slight improvement in performance and slightly faster recovery from muscle swelling and pain, most others, including studies of runners, cyclists, and kayakers, have failed to prove that wearing compression garments gave these athletes an edge. For example, Tommie Copper claims that its products 'improve muscle recovery and performance,' and another purveyor called Primary Health Sports claims its compression sleeves 'enhance sport performance.' However, there is little evidence that shows the efficacy of compressing muscles to improve athletic performance. Makers of copper-infused compression sports apparel have also made other unproven claims beyond those addressed in the court settlement. 'It's extremely unlikely that these fabrics would provide any therapeutic benefit beyond compression for arthritis or pain,' Avitzur says. 'There are also no reliable studies supporting the healing powers of copper-infused fabrics,' says Consumer Reports medical director Orly Avitzur, M.D. A 2013 study of 70 people with rheumatoid arthritis (a relatively large sample for this kind of research), published in the journal PLOS ONE, concluded that wearing a copper wrist strap did not help ease pain. According to court documents, a 2012 Tommie Copper catalog claimed that, 'Copper has been used for thousands of years to aid in reducing inflammation, growing and sustaining connective tissues and aiding in blood flow and oxygen transport,' and that it 'provides immediate relief from inflammation… and harnesses the other well-known health benefits of copper.'Ĭonsumer Reports has also reviewed the research into the use of copper to ease pain and has found little evidence of the metal's ability to lessen aches. Medical compression stockings have also been prescribed to help prevent leg swelling and blood clots in patients who've had surgery.Ĭopper, a soft, malleable metal, has long been touted as a folk medicine treatment to relieve pain and heal injuries. Compression works by limiting swelling while providing support to the injured area.
