Hyperice Normatec 3 - Recovery System with Patented Dynamic Compression Massage Technology (Normatec 3 Legs)

Product Information

The study found that the use of compression boots post race provided immediate subjective benefits, including a reduction in pain and muscle fatigue after just one 20-minute session. However, there was no functional benefit post race when participants did a 400m max-effort run in the days after. The Pulsio boots come with three modes: Sequence (default), Circulation and Combination. This is about standard. The modes affect how and where pressure is distributed among the boots’ four chambers: the feet, lower calves, upper calves and thigh. Again, simply press the mode button to change to a different mode. Professional-Grade: It's no wonder that many professional athletes use NormaTec technology. The NormaTec 3 brings that same recovery technology to my post-soccer routine. There’s also five unique programmes. You’ll actually need to open the instruction manual to know what each of these does and decipher hieroglyphic-style images of legs. Essentially, the modes change the way the chambers deliver pressure to your legs: mode A, for example, works through each chamber in isolation, while mode B gradually adds a chamber, building up from the ankles. Again, if you’re feeling particularly sore this means you don’t need to lay on the pressure all at once. Your lymphatic system can become overworked, especially following exercise. With its important role in the immune response, you can imagine we need it in tip top condition. Unfortunately, exercise makes the system have to work overtime to remove toxins, such as lactic acid. When the muscles have worked hard there can be a build up of fluid released to help remove the toxins from the damaged muscle tissue. This is our body trying to help heal itself but, it can cause swelling, stunting recovery and causing the feeling of soreness. Therefore, lymphatic drainage is necessary to allow waste products to get out of your muscles and allow fresh products to flush your muscle tissue and to reduce soreness caused by swelling. This soreness is commonly known as DOMS (Delayed onset of muscle soreness), which for those who have experienced it, is not very pleasant!

The effects of recovery boots are far from conclusive. A 2015 study in the Journal of Science and Cycling concluded that compression boots were not effective in improving recovery between a cycling and running bout in well-trained triathletes. There are two types of compression athletes use: compression and intermittent pneumatic compression. As mentioned, compression boosts use intermittent pneumatic compression, meaning they mechanically inflate and deflate segments of a sleeve at different times. Compression boots actually go all the way up to the top of your thighs, so your entire leg reaps the benefits.PERIPHERAL CONDUIT AND RESISTANCE ARTERY FUNCTION ARE IMPROVED FOLLOWING PERISTALTIC PULSE COMPRESSION. You can use Normatec boots both before and after a workout. If you’re feeling a little stiff before a gym session, they can help get your blood pumping and warm you up for your workout. Post-workout, they’re a great way to promote recovery so that you’ll feel refreshed and ready to take on tomorrow’s activities. How Long Should You Sit In Normatec Boots?

When that metabolic waste from a workout is sitting there in your cells taking up space, that’s space that your blood could be bringing new nutrients to in the muscle,” says Leninger. The more nutrients your muscles are getting, the faster they can repair and rebuild. The design is standard for compression boots – two leg sleeves, connected by hoses to a central control unit which controls the pressure level (you can also do it entirely from the app via Bluetooth). From the app, you can entirely customise your session – adjusting the areas to pay particular attention to – or activating a more intense ZoneBoost to – that niggly area, from your feet to upper legs. You can also get attachments to take in the hip area, which would be good for those with troublesome glutes.Madia recommends using the boots at least three to four times a week for recovery. “That’s usually one to two workouts, and then you flush your system,” he explains. “That ratio has really shown the best amount of recovery in our athletes.” Compression boots are for everyone , not just for athletes. Although used by many elite athletes, recovery is important for everyone with an active lifestyle to help the body recover and allow your muscles time to repair and replenish. The advantages to the use of compression therapy are also beneficial for a number of medical conditions such as lymphedema. Lymphatic drainage is known to help the appearance of cellulite - and some research has even proven that. Particularly with Normatec, the hip and arm attachments give you an added advantage to aid cellulite in these regions of the body!
