CEP Activating Compression Sportswear
CEP
COMPRESSION – Medically Based. Athlete Driven.
CEP
compression is the sports and lifestyles division of medi®. CEP products
are developed in collaboration with renowned scientists and sports physicians,
and are built to the exact standards of medi that feature true, graduated
compression. CEP products offer a range of Smart Technology and Clima
Technology that make the sportswear more enjoyable for high-performance
athletes and amateurs alike. The benefits of our signature medi compression
technology sets CEP apart from other “compression” on the market because our
distinctive profile is scientifically proven to optimize prevention,
performance and recovery.
How Does It
Work?
Prevention:
A precise
compression profile supplies fresh oxygen and nutrients to performing muscles.
This improvement in blood circulation activates muscles, reducing muscle
soreness following exercise.
With CEP, you
can minimize the risk of injury with enhanced proprioceptive arch and ankle stabilization
specifically optimized for high-impact workouts and sports.
Performance:
CEP allows for
improved blood circulation stimulation and also adds an extra boost of energy while
increasing endurance. With climate and moisture management that will keep feet
dry and your shoes fitting better, activity done in CEP compression will be
enhanced and vastly improved.
If you want to
minimize muscle vibration that causes fatigue, shin splints, and calf cramps
with enhanced stabilization that protects tendons and ligaments, look no
further than CEP compression. Coordination and balance will also be improved with
the activation of skin receptors that lead to a heightened sense of position.
Recovery:
Lastly, CEP compression provides a supply of fresh oxygen and nutrients that ultimately increases resting blood flow and accelerates regeneration.
Our recovery products feature precise graduated compression that improves microvascular circulation. It is best used with limited access to modalities and travel.
What
technology is featured in CEP?
CEP
compression features both Smart and Clima technology, providing a balanced
blend of materials for warm and cold temperatures that perfectly adapts to any
unique athletic challenge.
Smart
Technology:
Smart Infrared
Yarns with
bioactive minerals reflect the body’s own infrared radiation and support
natural recovery processes through improved microcirculation.
Smart Silicone
pads
The special
silicone pads provide relief to targeted areas with a deep tissue massaging
effect. They dynamically adapt to your movement.
Smart Carbon
The carbon-infused yarn gives the socks extreme strength with
high elasticity though they are also super lightweight, keeping you cool.
Smart Stretch
The polyamide/spandex
blend guarantees a perfect fit and maximum freedom of movement. The fabric
wraps around your body for superior wearing comfort.
Smart Wingtech
stripes
Precisely
positioned activation points on the back gently provide sensorimotor
stimulation that encourages you to maintain an upright posture. This trains the
muscles and permanently enhances your posture.
Best Clima
A balanced
blend of materials for warm and cold temperatures that seamlessly adapts to
you. Hydrophilic materials will ensure rapid moisture-wicking and unmatched
wearing comfort. Integrated filament yarns make the fabric extremely durable.
Cool Clima
Ultralight
Socks feature a thin fabric with excellent wicking properties, so your feet
stay cool and dry. The thinly padded foot section ensures ultimate comfort and
direct contact in close-fitting shoes.
Warm Clima
Merino Socks combine
the comfortable wearing characteristics of merino wool with the effectiveness
of high-quality polyamide fibers. This creates optimum body temperature, unique
moisture management and enhanced durability.
Thermal Clima
High-tech
yarns feature excellent moisture-wicking properties. To keep your feet warm
when it is cold outside, the entire inside of the sock is equipped with a plush
surface that functions as an insulation layer.
How to choose and use compression sportswear?
CEP
compression sportswear has evolved from the original 2007 line of one run sock
and one ski sock. Today, the CEP product portfolio covers an array of different
sports with socks, calf sleeves, orthopedic sleeves, tights and shorts, and
shirts based on input from scientists, professional athletes and designers.
When choosing
your perfect CEP compression product, consider where and how much support is
needed during your specific activity. The more coverage in the sock, the more
support will be provided.
Compression Socks & Calf Sleeves:
CEP compression socks come in multiple lengths, offering varying support needs. These socks provide exceptional comfort thanks to an anatomical fit and enhanced moisture management.
- Achieves 20-30 mmHg of compression at the ankle and graduate to a consistent 15-18 mmHg over the calf muscle with 15-20 mmHg targeted compression in feet
- Helps prevent shin splints by reducing vibrations and keeping the calf stabilized
- Helps prevent calf cramps
- Helps support foot arch and stabilizes ankle
- Great for intense activity and can be worn at rest/lower intensity activites
Orthopedic
Products:
For athletes,
staying fit and healthy is the highest priority. Our high-tech orthopedic
compression products protect and stabilize your body. These products are available in sleeves and braces with an anatomical fit
that promotes healthy circulation and reduces swelling, while comfortable
enough to be worn during activity. That means more support, less risk of
injury, and improved circulation for faster recovery and stamina.
Recovery
Products:
These products
feature a fully graduated compression profile that increases blood flow by
moving deoxygenated blood back to the heart where it can be recharged. Perfect
for wear after an intense workout, between performance and during travel.
CEP Apparel Products:
The CEP Training collection keeps you focused and comfortable with enhanced freedom of movement. They feature an ideal shaping effect for enhanced body awareness and breathable moisture-wicking materials. The compression shorts and tights improve blood flow and offer support in specific areas like quads, hamstrings and calves to enhance your performance.
