imapumpkin Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I don't watch professional sports on tv unless i am out-voted. But i've noticed that many professional basketball players (like Carmello Anthony) wear pressure cuffs on their arms and sometimes on their legs. I asked the actual bball fan in the room why carmello and others seem to be wearing them more often and he said "for circulation! it improves circulation!" ...i o wear pressure stockings every single day to stop blood pooling in my lower extremities so i know that pressure cuffs are good for circulation but if i was well and didn't have to wear them, i wouldn't wear them. i played recreational sports growing up and i don't get this trend of wearing pressure cuffs. I never wear my stockings while exercising... running and cardio by definition get your blood pumpking...so can anyone explain to me this growing trend of wearing pressure cuffs to play a basketball game when stockings and cuffs are primarily for those of us with actual circulation issues?
