The new Felix Bühler breeches: Compression Collection
Compression breeches? Yes, breeches with a compression effect are on the rise and offer a number of benefits. Whilst compression clothing has already become established in other sports such as running or football, compression breeches aren’t yet as common in equestrian sports. We’ll show you the benefits of compression breeches and introduce you to the new Felix Bühler Breeches Compression Collection.
Why wear compression breeches for riding?
The idea behind compression breeches for equestrian sports is to provide muscle support. This means that compression breeches are not only useful for people with swollen legs or lipoedema and lymphoedema. The tight-fitting fabric supports the muscles and minimises vibrations in the muscles, which can lead to pain.
Imagine your horse isn’t moving well, is very stiff and tense one day, and trots so heavily that it feels as though you’re sitting on a jackhammer. Of course, this shouldn’t be the norm, but it can happen. And how great would it be if you had a pair of breeches that supported your legs? With the help of compression breeches, you can prevent those painful vibrations in the muscles that would otherwise cause your legs to cramp up. As a result, you can communicate better with your horse and help it relax more by giving the right aids.
Furthermore, compression breeches promote muscle recovery, which means fewer muscle fibre tears and less muscle soreness. They improve blood circulation, helping your leg muscles recover more quickly after a riding session. This means you’ll perform better overall than without compression breeches.
And last but not least, a benefit of compression breeches that all riders can enjoy: They can improve body awareness. A fully developed sense of body awareness is essential for sensitive riding with correct aids. Studies have also shown that compression clothing has a positive effect on balance and coordination – equally important qualities for good riding.ern, die deine Beine sonst verkrampfen lassen würden. In der Folge kannst du besser auf dein Pferd einwirken und ihm mit der richtigen Hilfengebung zu mehr Entspannung verhelfen.
Weiterhin begünstigen Compression Reithosen die Muskelregeneration, das bedeutet weniger Muskelfaserrisse und weniger Muskelkater. Deine Durchblutung wird erhöht, weshalb sich deine Beinmuskeln nach dem Reittraining schneller erholen. Du bist also insgesamt leistungsfähiger als ohne Kompressionshose.
Und zu guter Letzt ein Pluspunkt von Kompressionshosen zum Reiten, von dem alle Reiter profitieren: Sie können das Körpergefühl verbessern. Ein voll umfassendes Körpergefühl und Bewusstsein ist für feinfühliges Reiten mit korrekter Hilfengebung unerlässlich. Studien haben zudem gezeigt, dass Kompressionsmode positive Auswirkungen auf das Gleichgewichtsgefühl und die Koordination haben – ebenfalls wichtige Eigenschaften für gutes Reiten.
