COMPRESSPORT ®
The Playformance
Coming from the world of medicine, COMPRESSPORT® was born in Switzerland out of the
desire to offer a range of high performance pressure garments to sportsmen and women at all
levels.
Created by dedicated amateur sportsmen and women COMPRESSPORT® was able to attract
the greatest professional athletes in the world combining three fundamentals: science,
transparency and excellence.
SCIENCE: tested and validated first by our athletes, all of our products then pass through the
scrutiny of our scientific research department.
TRANSPARENCE: our compression garments are all produced in Europe using 100%
European fibres. This transparency, which we hope to demonstrate in the quality of our
products, is for us something indispensable.
EXCELLENCE: more than a policy, excellence is for us a true work ethic. Because we leave
nothing to chance, there are dozens of professional sportsmen and women, world and Olympic
champions, who have chosen COMPRESSPORT® to accompany them in their performances.
These three fundamentals feed a dynamic of constant innovation, which we put at the
disposal of all sportsmen and women who, like us, have passion and performance as their main
driving forces.
SYLVAIN LAUR
FOUNDER OF COMPRESSPORT
DIRECTOR OF PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT
PLAYFORMER ADDICTATOR
COMPRESSPORT® has been innovating
for 7 years with doctors, researchers,
experts, amateurs and professional
athletes working hand-in-hand.
All of which in order to bring you the most
complete and sophisticated compression
products.
Results don't lie. Once again this year we
have brought in a whole pile of medals.
And we would also like to thank all of
those great champions who agree to put
their trust in us, to play and perform at our
side.
Play, because despite the discipline and
the effort, there is no performance without
pleasure and without passion.
At COMPRESSPORT®, we call it
PLAYFORMANCE. it’s our driving force:
we play in order to create the products of
tomorrow.
A game which consists of looking for and
finding the lightest and most
thermo-regulating materials, and preparing
the most effective compression for pushing
back pain and the athlete's limits.
We play with fibres, membrane, materials,
design and construction ...
At the scientific laboratory of
COMPRESSPORT® our team plays at
measuring the physiological performance of
our innovations in order to show the
benefits they bring.
Thanks to social media and our worldwide
presence we are at your side all the time.
Wherever you are, whoever you are, we are
right behind you.
Hoping to see you very soon.

This is the work
charter that we follow
at COMPRESSPORT®.
STARTING FROM A NEED OR A
FEELING, WE CREATE A PRODUCT.
The logic of shapes,
the materials to be used,
the results we want are
clear and precise...
WE’RE STARTING OUT WITH THE
FIRST PROTOTYPES.
1 or 2 years may be
required to develop
the perfect product.
We make changes and
adjust the details up to
the last minute.
Everything needs to be

True story
for true
products
For example, here is
how we developed the
new OnOff Ventil’action
concept.
Desired effect:
Give the athlete optimal
oxygenation when climbing.
Give the athlete optimal
protection when descending.
From this idea, the new OnOff
Ventil-action fiber came about!
Action ON: helps open thousands of
alveoli to increase breathing during a
workout
Action OFF: thousands of alveoli close
when your heart rate goes back down.
Result No. 1: you are protected against
the cold and outside elements.
Result No. 2: you are protected against
muscular oscillation, which consumes
energy.
Every product has a real story.
Every product is created for
athletes by athletes.

SCIENTIFICALLY
MEASURED
EFFECTS
Scientifically proving the effectiveness of a product is giving a rational explanation to an
abstract feeling. I feel stronger, I feel less pain, I push my limits... YES but why and how?
The COMPRESSPORT® scientific team, led by Dr A. Ménétrier seeks to explain the
unexplainable every day.
Our permanent offices at the University of Besançon give us direct access to the EPSI
platform. The EPSI platform is recognized in Europe as one of the most experienced sites in
sport. A number of leading scientists have been educated and trained at the University of
Besançon.
Lactate, blood flow, ventilation, muscular vibrations, oxygenation, etc. are several of dozens
of criteria that can be objectivized under racing conditions. Our goal is to statistically quantify
the additional value we offer to each sportman who desires to put his trust in us.
COMPRESSPORT® contributes to the progress of science. Science drives COMPRESSPORT®
forward. 8 scientific studies have already been published in reference journals.
"Improving your performances during the
effort, your recovery capacity, protecting
you from injury and optimising your comfort,
these are not just marketing promises.
One of the most important parts of
developing a product consists of showing
scientifically its anatomical and
physiological benefits. Here at the EPSI
platform I and my team have the best
measuring instruments for quantifying these
with unparalleled accuracy."

France. He has a PhD in Life and Health
Sciences and works at the University of
Franche-Comté in Besançon (EA 3920, Exercise

WHO ARE
COMPRESSPORT ®
PRODUCTS AIMED AT?
Quality of fibre, a battery of laboratory tests, comfort, design: it is the quality of professional
performance which we make accessible for everyone. Amateur or professional, beginner or
experienced athlete, all those who have chosen COMPRESSPORT® have that idea: maximise
and optimise performance.
For amateurs:
• For those who are full of good intentions about getting back into shape but lack
strength and training.
• For the experienced, eager to push their personal boundaries without injuring
themselves but who don’t have the time to recover.
COMPRESSPORT® is all the more efficient for all those who are not as fit as the runners
of the FDJ team or who don’t have Javier Gomez Noya endurance!
For professionals:
• Those doing long sessions of high impact muscle working every day.
• Those who have to win, where there’s no room for injury, cramps or aches.
• Those with back-to-back training sessions with short recovery periods and lots of
travelling.
Amateur or professional, whether your sport is a hobby or you are looking to be seriously
supported for your next Ultra-Trail race in the Himalayas... Whoever you are, wherever you are,
COMPRESSPORT® supports you.

A PRODUCT FOR
EACH NEED
BEFORE - DURING - AFTER
Listening to our athletes, we develop our products to respond rigorously to their
expectations. Preparation, effort, recovery, well-being around performances: we seek to
offer everyone the chance to go further, faster, and for longer.
BEFORE
* Preparing the muscles before a race or a training session, wearing
COMPRESSPORT® will accelerate the warm-up process and therefore
reduce the risk of injury.
** By pressing the veins, the COMPRESSPORT® compression improves
the venous return towards the heart – exactly like the pressure
applied to the bottom of a tube of toothpaste, causing the paste
to rise up and outside of the tube. Consequently the overall
blood circulation is increased: improving muscle oxygenation,
preventing tswelling and guaranteeing athletes a feeling of
light and fresh legs!

WHY USE THE COMPRESSPORT ®
TECHNOLOGY?
• Boost your performances (especially endurance)
• Recover faster and better
• Delay fatigue
• More comfort and support during the effort
• Avoid muscle tear and injury
• Travel in the best conditions
DURING
* Wearing COMPRESSPORT® during running effort will be
beneficial due to the reduction of muscular vibrations (induced
by the shocks with the ground). By limiting these vibrations,
COMPRESSPORT® will reduce muscle damage, delay muscle
fatigue, improve prolonged performances and prevent
delayed muscle soreness.
** The risk of tendonitis, shin splints and muscular injuries is
decreased. Compression will provide an effective support
and ensure less stress on joints & tendons!
*** By activating cutaneous and muscular receptors,
the COMPRESSPORT® compression will enhance the
proprioceptive feedback. Consequently, body posture
while exercising will be improved.
AFTER
* Blood flow activation resulting from using
COMPRESSPORT® in recovery will increase oxygen supply,
eliminating toxins faster and preventing swelling.
** Consequently, secondary muscle damage, inflammation
and muscle soreness are reduced and subsequent
performances during competition are improved!

BORN IN
SWITZERLAND
100% MADE
IN EUROPE
COMPRESSPORT® was born in
Switzerland, a country that
favors sport and innovation. It’s a
fantastic place where sports such
as trail running, triathlon, biking,
cross-country and downhill skiing
can be found right outside your
doorstep. Switzerland also has a
strong work culture, where
simple, efficient technology helps
us create our products. Nothing
frilly – just efficiency.
Since 2013, COMPRESSPORT®
has been working in its research
and development laboratory in
the Zurich area. At the heart of a
cozy valley where for more than
130 years, the greatest specialists
of medical compression have
worked. COMPRESSPORT® has
also developed its new products.
Everything is available to create
excellence: the skills, the latest
textile methods, the most
sophisticated measuring tools.
COMPRESSPORT® is honored to
manufacture all its products in
Europe. Italy, Portugal, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Switzerland
are all brimming with exceptional
expertise in the manufacture of
medical compression products
and sportswear.
Manufacturing in Europe means
guaranteeing top-level quality.
Our need to be in contact with
factories and engineers and to
share our vision wouldn’t be
possible with production sites
20,000 km away. It would be
even less possible if we
manufactured in a region of the
world wherea medical
fabric-making culture doesn’t
exist.
We also make sure that in each
COMPRESSPORT® garment, all
the fibres and dyes used also
come from Europe.
Traceability is paramount to be
able to offer a high-quality product
that is systematically made to the
same strict standard. Traceability
of fibres and dyes as well as
assembly must be monitored and
certified by the Oekotex label.
It is because of this context of
strict standards that
COMPRESSPORT® can guarantee
its products 2 years against any
defect.

THEY TELL US ABOUT IT...
« The reason I use COMPRESSPORT® socks is simple, they are
just so comfortable. I believe they really enhance my
performance because of the feel and feedback I get when I run
in them. »
Craig Alexander, 3x IRONMAN® WORLD CHAMPION
« I have been using COMPRESSPORT® Compression clothing
since 2009, after a stress fracture on my right calf. I wear them
during trainings and competitions. During those time, I can feel
that my Compression gears help absorb shocks but also keep
my blood circulating. A very nice feeling, no cramps and no
soreness indeed, just perfect! And in hot conditions they can
even keep my calf muscles cooler because of the protection
(white) reflecting the sun. Some water on them help to cool you
down and makes you feel more fresh! After races or on really
hard training camps I use them a lot, especially the Full Legs.
The best way to recover for me! »

DHABI TRIATHLON 2013, 1ST IRONMAN® SOUTH AFRICA
« I have been a fan of Compression socks for 5 seasons. On the
calves, their use is intended firstly, to stimulate the venous return
and delay the onset of cramps. I also know a lot less trouble at
this level.
During exercises and workouts, demanding uphill quads can
delay the onset of muscle fatigue. For the descent, this product
gives me a continuation of the muscles, limiting the impact and
micro lesions.
Personally, I'm really a fan of these products ... if there are days
when I feel tired, it is also during those days that I am more
tempted to use them. »

in my daily nature. »
Zigor Iturrieta, 3rd EVEREST TRAIL RACE 2014
« I use COMPRESSPORT® calf sleeves when I race to help reduce

by wearing my COMPRESSPORT® socks or calf sleeves while

« Having specialized in running biomechanics, I can appreciate
the physiological benefits of compression. COMPRESSPORT®
products provide these benefits optimally and in a comfortable
and stylish package. My go-to products are the R2 and socks,
which reduce muscular load during hard workouts and races.
They also are incredible for recovery and particularly key in the

« I pay a lot of attention to the products I use.I had the
opportunity to see and test the products at Kona and loved
them, and as you know we signed a deal for the next two
seasons. I use the Full Socks for recovery and long travels. They
are anti-swelling, remove the fatigue from my legs and make
long flights more comfortable. I will use the Pro Racing Socks for
training and racing on half iron events. They are really light, easy
and fast to put on and come with a nice design. »

FLYING SOCKS
love your legs
COMPRES is i
COMPRESSPORT®, is also well-being.
Air travel is often synonymous with discomfort and heavy legs. We know this all the more as our athletes travel the
world non-stop all the year round. To help them travel in the best condition we have developed the Smart Sock.
Its mixture of silk and New Zealand merino wool assures unbeatable comfort. By coupling degressive compression
and a specially studied massage effect, the Smart Sock helps to activate blood circulation at the surface of the skin in
such a way as to produce a fresh and light feeling in the legs at all times.
COMPRESSPORT® has entered into association with various airlines around the world to offer this innovation to
more demanding travelers: Air France, Alitalia, Iberia, TAP, Blue Panorama, Air Caraïbes, Aeroflot, Rossiya all put
their trust in us.
The Smart Sock is a sock for everyday well-being. Ideal for flying, the office, and when you have to maintain any
other type of uncomfortable position.

Tactical
COMPRESSPORT® Tactical is a division of COMPRESSPORT® International. Starting from the idea that a
great amount of military equipment can be used in sport, we thought the reverse might also be possible.
The fruit of multiple efforts in Research and Development, tested and validated scientifically, tried out in the most
extreme conditions such as the Sahara desert or the summit of Mount Everest, our products are a perfect response to
what is needed in military situations.
We work with passion with the greatest athletes all over the world. We know the meaning of pain, intensive training,
and we also know what it is ceaselessly to push back one's own limits.
This new range has been developed to meet the pressing needs of the military, special units and the forces of law
and order. COMPRESSPORT® Tactical is specially designed to help the men and women who put their lives on
the line every day in the course of duty.
From a policeman on patrol to a member of an elite unit, including fire fighters and security guards,
COMPRESSPORT® Tactical is there to help them be on top form.
The COMPRESSPORT® Tactical range is aimed at two types of area:
- Sports: shooting, airsoft and paintball, hunting enthusiasts.
