compression shirt
Tight athletic garment
A compression shirt is a tight-fitting athletic garment made of stretchy fabric that hugs the body.
Worn during exercise or recovery, compression shirts are claimed to improve blood flow, reduce muscle fatigue, and speed healing—though evidence for these benefits varies.
They also wick sweat and provide a streamlined layer under uniforms or other clothing.
