Every season Major League Soccer (MLS) players are injured, resulting in time-loss. Strains and sprains accounted for 37% and 19%, respectively, of all injuries during two competitive seasons.

92% of muscle injuries among MLS players occurred in the lower extremities.

To enhance recovery, professional athletes wear Incrediwear recovery sleeves.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of wearing Incrediwear leg sleeves on injury time-loss for professional soccer players.

RESULTS:

• 46% FASTER RECOVERY
• DECREASE NUMBER OF INJURIES
• DECREASE NUMBER OF GAMES MISSED
• DECREASE IN AVERAGE OF DAYS MISSED
