How can a skinsuit protect the body while running?

Aerodynamics and Reduced Air Resistance: A skintight suit can offer aerodynamic advantages by reducing drag and improving airflow over the body, ultimately reducing the resistance a runner faces.

Compression: Skinsuits are designed to exert a gentle amount of compression on the muscles and joints. This compression has several benefits, including increased blood circulation, improved oxygen delivery to the muscles, reduced swelling and soreness, and enhanced shock absorption, all of which can lead to improved performance and reduced fatigue during a run.

Reduced Muscle Vibration and Oscillation: The compression effect of the suit can also help reduce muscle vibration and oscillation during running, which can potentially minimize energy expenditure and muscle damage, allowing for more efficient movement.

Body Temperature Regulation: Some skinsuits are designed with specific materials and technologies that can help regulate body temperature. They may feature moisture-wicking fabrics that pull sweat away from the skin and enhance breathability, keeping the runner cool and comfortable.
