What should I look for when purchasing a sports sleeve?
The most important criterion is selecting the right size. The sports sleeve shouldn’t fit too loosely to ensure it doesn’t slip. Optimum stabilization can only be achieved if the sports sleeve fits snugly around the joint. Obviously, the sports sleeve shouldn’t be too tight either, to ensure it doesn’t pinch or even impede the flow of blood when you wear it. Before buying a CEP sports sleeve, you should measure the circumference of your joint and use our size chart to determine the perfect size for you.
What sports are compressive sports sleeves by CEP designed for?
The CEP sports sleeves are suitable for all sports that repeatedly strain your knee and/or ankle joints and thus require additional stabilization. Many athletes wear CEP sports sleeves as a preventive aid to stabilize their joints and reduce the risk of injury and wear and tear. Key sports include running, skiing and hiking. Of course, basketball, soccer and strength training are also quite popular.
How long can I wear CEP sports sleeves?
The maximum wearing period depends on the respective level of support. While you can wear CEP Light Support sports sleeves all day, we recommend a maximum wearing period of up to five hours during movement for the Mid Support and Max Support sports sleeves.
Do I need a prescription for the CEP sports sleeves?
No, you can purchase the sports sleeves without a prescription or note from your doctor.
