When you train hard, support matters.
Whether you’re sprinting, lifting, changing direction on the pitch or returning to movement after a tough session, your groin and upper thigh area can experience significant stress.
That’s why our Ductor Shorts and Ductor Leggings feature an integrated neoprene support band - designed to provide targeted support where athletes need it most.
What Does the Neoprene Band Do?
The neoprene band is positioned to provide additional support around the adductor and groin area.
Your adductors are a group of muscles located on the inside of the thigh. They play an important role in bringing the leg towards the body, stabilising the pelvis and controlling movement during running, jumping and changes of direction.
That means they’re working hard in a huge range of sports.
The neoprene band in our Ductor range is designed to work alongside the garment’s compression, creating a supportive feel around this key area while still allowing you to move.
Think targeted support without unnecessary restriction.
Can It Help With Injury Prevention?
No piece of sportswear can guarantee that an injury won’t happen. Good conditioning, appropriate training loads, warm-ups, recovery and technique all play important roles in reducing injury risk.
However, additional support can be valuable during demanding movement.
By providing a secure, supportive feel around the adductor and groin area, the Ductor’s neoprene band is designed to help athletes feel more stable and supported while training and competing.
For athletes who regularly sprint, accelerate, decelerate or rapidly change direction, that targeted support can be particularly useful.
What About Recovery?
Recovery isn’t just about what happens when you stop moving.
Athletes may also want additional support when gradually returning to activity after experiencing muscular tightness or completing a demanding training session.
The combination of compression and the integrated neoprene band makes the Ductor range a useful option when you want a secure, supported feeling around the upper thigh and groin.
If you’re returning from an injury, however, sportswear shouldn’t replace professional medical or physiotherapy advice. Follow the guidance of your healthcare professional on when and how to return to training.
Which Sports Could Benefit?
The Ductor Shorts and Leggings can be particularly useful for sports that place repeated demands on the groin, hips and upper legs.
Football
Sprinting. Shooting. Tackling. Turning.
Football demands repeated acceleration, deceleration and changes of direction, while kicking places additional demands on the muscles around the hip and inner thigh.
The Ductor range provides targeted support while allowing the freedom of movement needed on the pitch.
Rugby
Powerful running, tackling and rapid directional changes put the lower body under significant load.
Ductor Shorts or Leggings can be worn as a supportive base layer during training or match preparation, providing compression with additional targeted support around the adductor area.
Running & Sprinting
Your adductors contribute to stability throughout the running stride and can be placed under even greater demand during sprinting and high-intensity running.
The Ductor range is ideal for athletes looking for a supportive compression layer during running, speed sessions and conditioning work.
Gym & Strength Training
Squats, lunges, deadlifts and lateral movements all require stability through the hips and upper legs.
Ductor compression can be worn during strength and conditioning sessions when you want an additional feeling of security and support without sacrificing movement.
Padel & Racquet Sports
Lunging, reaching and explosive lateral movement are part of almost every rally.
For sports where you’re constantly pushing off, stopping and changing direction, targeted support around the upper thigh and groin can make the Ductor range a valuable addition to your kit.
Shorts or Leggings?
Both options deliver the targeted support of the Ductor design. The right choice comes down to your sport, conditions and personal preference.
Ductor Shorts are a versatile choice for training, competition and warmer conditions. Wear them independently or underneath your usual sports kit.
Ductor Leggings provide extended compression through the legs, making them a great option for cooler conditions, training sessions and athletes who prefer more coverage.
Either way, the goal stays the same:
When Can You Wear Them?
The Ductor range isn’t limited to competition.
Wear them for training when your session involves sprinting, lifting or high-intensity movement.
Wear them for competition when you want a secure, supportive compression layer beneath your kit.
Use them during your return to training, where appropriate and alongside professional advice, when additional support helps you feel more confident getting moving again.
And make them part of your wider recovery routine when you want compression and support after demanding periods of activity.

Performance isn’t only about pushing harder. It’s about giving your body the support it needs to keep moving.
