Whether you choose long or short pants for sports usually depends on the weather.
Nevertheless, you can often see that (mostly) men wear long leggings under their short sports trousers, even when it’s warm or in the gym.
Nima Mashagh, a sports scientist, reveals the purpose of the double trousers and personal trainer from Hamburg, in conversation with FIT FOR FUN.
What’s behind the leggings look
According to Mashagh, Founder of Personal Training Studio Athletik Docks, the wearing of long sports trousers in fitness sport is primarily for visual reasons.
“Originally it was advertised that wearing compression underwear has a performance-enhancing effect should have an effect. This assumption didn’t really catch on,” says the personal trainer.
The reason for this is that the compression strength of the Sports leggings is not strong enough and therefore cannot achieve any performance-enhancing effects.
For some, wearing long leggings underneath is simply a matter of the mind: A more comfortable fit can lead to more concentration during training.
However, Mashagh emphasizes that compression underwear makes sense in other sports can.
Increased performance thanks to long pants?
In other sports, compression pants can support athletes’ performance. Nima Mashagh explains that there are so-called squat suits, which are particularly tight and stable and are similar to wetsuits. These are mainly used in the field of powerlifting and can increase performance.
“There are also sports such as athletics or cycling with leggings that have effects in relation to aerodynamics and friction achieve”, explains the coach.
Conclusion:
