The Sequential Pneumatic Compression Pumps are used as a powerful tool for training and performance skills, to feel good and energize, injury recovery, treat injuries chronic and acute rehabilitation, and to heal faster and with less pain.
These pumps going by such names as Recovery Pump, SportPump, RevitaPump, Vessports, and Normatec are designed to compress the outer limbs in a manner that mimics the normal physiology of the movement as a clinical treatment. Usually the athletes before or after a session of physical exercise are recommended ice, rest, or simple static compression to speed their recovery, the use of recovery compression pumps support, protect, encourage, strengthen athletes increasing performance, improving your mood. They provide support for an innovative way to quickly and safely recover physically as athletes require recovery is rapid but steady process to continue without delay its activities like training or competition.
All who have experienced those feelings we know that with the passing of the hours these unpleasant symptoms begin to disappear because our body deals with it by removing the residual lactic acid, replenishing muscle fibers, etc. But athletes and less professionals can not be expected to be recovered as quickly as possible to re-train or compete and need any extra help available.
Through the use of intermittent gradient applied through fabric garments, athletes use these accessories cover the whole leg or arm. The pump chambers are inflated and deflated so as to simulate the process of proper circulation and avoid extracellular fluid accumulation.
This pneumatic compression device seeks to mimic the body's natural physiology by peristaltic pulse waves that favor mobilization of waste fluids accumulated in affected members and fighting, inflammation, edema and micro traumas caused by the intense training, after pumps use athletes to help them gain better performance much. The recovery sport pumps can be used as part of the daily routine recovery sessions 30-60 minutes 1, 2 or 3 times a day, at pressures of 35-60 mmHg, once in the morning before and / or after exercise and once before bed.
In the past two years, the team Garmmin / Chippotlle has earned the reputation as the leader in the fight against doping in sport. As part of this revolution, are continually motivated to find new and innovative ways to improve athletic performance from the point of view of ethics. So when they were invited to compete in the Tour de France, immediately began searching for new and modern ways to help their athletes recover from physical exhaustion after a session of intense exercise.
They learned of a device used by professional sports teams and famous athletes, among others, as a recovery tool and also controlled and safe as a treatment for both acute injuries and post-operative rehabilitation. This pump is a machine designed to compress the outer limbs in a manner that mimics the normal physiology of the circulatory system as a clinical treatment for patients with circulatory diseases arising from diabetes or cancer. Although our athletes are not ill, inflammation, edema and micro trauma normally caused by intense training and competition, but not so serious, not so different from cancer patients with lymphedema or diabetics with chronic wounds that do not heal.
Athletes familiar with the benefits of the basic paradigm of RICE (rest, ice, compression - static or simple flash and elevation) to treat injuries and improve recovery from training every day. But in the end, what convinced was that static compression has been used continuously in athletes using compression stockings or using alternative measures to mimic the normal circulatory response the body, the impact also motivated us can have the use of ice as antiinflammatory remedy since it alters the normal circulatory system. The recovery pumps mimic normal physiology through intermittent pneumatic compression chambers with this are effective in reducing the swelling and inflammation caused by the daily performance, faster removal of lactic acid or an injury in training or competition.
In the world every day more and more athletes are using as a recovery compression pump device daily, once, twice or even three times a day for periods of between 30 and 60 minutes and pressures that vary from 35 to 60 mmHg.
