Compression clothing, in particular sleeves, socks and other kit, has occupied an important place in the equipment of runners and trail runners for several years. The text presents them as a recurring element of the gear used by running enthusiasts, particularly in trail and ultra-trail formats.
The passage states that these compression items can be found during training, highlighting their regular use beyond the strictly competitive setting. The main idea therefore links the equipment to everyday sporting practice, before also talking about the race aspect.
The source also notes that these compression garments are worn at the start lines of ultra-trails. This places their role at the key moment of the race, at the start, while still fitting within the same overall equipment framework for trail runners.
