    I still say the reason for sports injuries sky rocketing is related to the 'dresses' that players wear and turf/court structure.. take the NBA, whom when you look around the league, every NBA player but one out of like 15 wears dresses, or leg tights.......... not being able to let your muscles BREATHE cannot be good for the tension it's under... when it's covered up it stays hot ---- any of you know what happens to a fire when you throw a blanket over it?.... I rest my case.... If there are medical reports out there saying "sleeving the joints" help - I will fight and die on the hill that they are wrong.....

    and in football it is more related to the massively bad idea from the start, of schools and franchises switching to synthetic turf....

    I really hope this is sarcasm... but in case it's not, just a reminder that muscles don't need to breath. Your lungs do a perfectly good job of taking in oxygen and your vascular system distributes that oxygen to the rest of the body.

    If your theory were correct, hockey players would just keel over instantly.

    Compression sleeves are helpful in the sense that they can add external support to relieve a little bit of stress from tendons and joints. It's not a long term fix, but just that little bit of support can go a long ways.

    I do agree that the synthetic turf leads to more injuries. It allows guys much more traction, which increases the impact and torque they can put on joints and tendons. It's just so much harder on the body.

    Hopefully some of the new turfs can fix that. They need allow just the smallest amount of slip so guys feet don't get caught, but not enough where guys are falling down.

    I 100 percent disagree with you.

    Your muscles do not need to breathe when compressed not in full rotation -- but when you wrap everything in ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS CRAP, you are giving your muscles & cartliage no room for a safety blanket. And that is where the enormous uptick in ACL injuries comes from in the NBA... and makes it even worse considering the area they play on is a HARDWOOD FLOOR -- and in the NFL it comes from the same thing, but with the same areas in question having no richochet and driven into synthetic fiber.

    That and the shoes in the NBA does NOT HELP either, with most of the jordans and nba star made shoes having extended shoe rear supports --- leading to more rolled ankles --- the shoe wants to stay one way, and the ankle flips to another.



    As for Hockey Players... you do realize a LINE of hockey players only stays on the ice for about 2-3 mins in spurts right?... coupled with 2 20 min intermissions

    Fisher thought that about LeGarrette Montez Blount.

    I was so pissed about that. How stupid was Fisher for thinking that.
