compression leggings

Tight athletic legwear

Compression leggings are tight-fitting athletic pants designed to apply steady pressure to the legs.

The compression is claimed to improve blood circulation, reduce muscle fatigue, and speed recovery during and after exercise.

They're worn for running, yoga, and other workouts, though many people wear them as everyday athleisure: I live in my compression leggings.
