The science behind compression clothing

How technology takes your performance and recovery to the next level

Top-level sports are all about details. The smallest improvement in focus, strength, or recovery can make the difference between winning or just missing out. Compression clothing is one of those innovations that helps athletes perform more consistently, efficiently, and stronger.
At Next Extreme Performance, we have further developed this technology into a new standard: Extreme Compression Fit™ — designed to get the most out of every training, run, or Hyrox race.

What exactly is compression clothing?

Compression clothing is made from technical fibers that apply light, constant pressure on the muscles.
It seems simple, but behind this technology lies science.
The right compression promotes:

• Better circulation: oxygen and nutrients reach your muscles faster.

• Less vibration: every step or jump causes micro-vibrations; compression dampens these, reducing muscle fatigue.

• More efficient recovery: through improved removal of waste products (such as lactic acid), you recover faster after intense training.

Scientific research shows that well-designed compression clothing not only speeds up recovery but also supports performance during exertion.

Why compression works during training

During Hyrox, strength training, or sprints, your muscles are continuously stressed.
Compression wear:

• Stabilizes muscle groups during explosive movements like sled pushes or lunges.

• Reduces the risk of injury by less muscle shock and less lactic acid buildup.

• Increases endurance because your muscles work more efficiently.

The result? A steadier pace, less fatigue, and more control in every movement.

Extreme Compression Fit™ – focused on performance

At Next Extreme Performance compression is not a marketing term, but a design philosophy.
Our Extreme Compression Fit™ is developed with targeted pressure zones that align with the body's natural anatomy.

• Support where needed: around quadriceps, hamstrings, and core.

• Full freedom of movement: thanks to NextGen Stretch™ the fabric moves without loss of power.

• Maximum comfort: flat seams and breathable material prevent chafing, even during prolonged effort.

Every legging and short from the Extreme Collection is tested by athletes during Hyrox and strength training to guarantee optimal pressure balance.

The effect after training

Compression continues to work even after your workout.
Improved blood flow keeps your muscles better supplied with oxygen, speeding up recovery and reducing muscle soreness.
Many athletes wear our compression leggings and tops even after their training to extend the recovery process — comfortable and effective.

Why compression wear is the future of performance wear

The line between sport and science is blurring. Compression wear represents the next evolution in sportswear: technology that not only moves with you but actively contributes to performance and recovery.

At Next Extreme Performance we combine biomechanical research with innovative design to create clothing that functions as an extension of your body.

Extreme Compression Fit™ is not just a fit — it is performance in its purest form.
