Training & Recovery – Your Body Deserves the Best Equipment

Compression Massage Devices – Active Recovery Like the Pros

Do you know that feeling after a long road bike ride or an intense interval session, when your legs feel like lead and training is already on the schedule for the next day? Compression massage devices from Reboot were developed precisely for these situations.

The pneumatic compression systems envelop your legs, feet, or hips and massage them with rhythmic air pressure pulses from the extremities toward the center of your body. This promotes venous return, accelerates the removal of lactate and metabolic waste products, and noticeably reduces muscle soreness. What was once reserved for pro teams like WorldTour squads is now accessible to ambitious amateur athletes.

When and Why You Should Use It:

• After intense sessions, races, or multi-day tours
• During high-volume training phases (e.g., training camps)
• For heavy or swollen legs after long day rides
• To prevent muscle soreness and shorten recovery time

Lactate Meters – Train with Data, Not Just Feeling

If you really want to know which intensity zone you're in, lactate measurement is essential. Heart rate and power meters are useful—but lactate concentration in the blood is the most direct physiological marker of your current exertion level and metabolic state.

With a lactate meter, you can test for yourself at what heart rate or wattage your aerobic threshold lies—and use this data to precisely define your training zones. Pros and their coaches have been doing this in labs for decades. Today, mobile devices are available that deliver reliable results from capillary blood taken from your earlobe or fingertip.

When and Why You Should Use It:

• To determine your individual lactate threshold (aerobic/anaerobic)
• For regular step tests to monitor your training progress
• To check recovery and fitness trends during peak phases
• As a scientific basis for precise training control

Core Body Temperature Sensors – The Invisible Performance Factor

Heat is one of the most underestimated performance killers in cycling. If your core body temperature rises above a critical threshold, your body automatically reduces performance—a protective mechanism that prevents heat damage but can become uncomfortable during races or training camps.

Core body temperature sensors enable continuous real-time monitoring of your core temperature. This allows you to train specifically for heat acclimatization, detect overheating early, and better manage your hydration and cooling strategies.

When and Why You Should Use It:

• During races or training camps in hot climates
• For targeted heat acclimatization before summer events
• For triathletes and endurance athletes during long efforts
• As a safety tool during physical activity in extreme heat

Blood Pressure Monitors – Keep an Eye on Your Heart

Endurance athletes often have remarkably low resting heart rates and blood pressure—a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. Still, it’s worth checking these values regularly. Persistently high blood pressure is a silent risk factor that can affect athletes too, especially with high training volumes, stress, or genetic predisposition.

A blood pressure monitor should therefore be part of every serious athlete’s basic equipment—someone who doesn’t just focus on external performance data but also on internal health. Modern devices provide precise readings in seconds and can be easily integrated into daily monitoring.

When and Why You Should Use It:

• For morning resting measurements as a health indicator
• If you notice signs of overtraining (elevated resting heart rate, sleep disturbances)
• As part of a regular athletic health check
• If you have pre-existing conditions or a family history of high blood pressure

Wound Care & Spray Plasters – So a Fall Doesn’t End Your Season

Crashes are part of cycling—whether on gravel, MTB trails, or during an unfortunate moment in a road race. What matters then is quick and clean wound care to prevent infection and promote fast healing.

Spray plasters form a transparent, waterproof protective film over wounds and abrasions within seconds—ideal for on-the-go use without bandages, plasters, or tape. Wound dressings sterily cover larger injuries and can also be sensibly carried in a first-aid kit on your bike. Anyone who regularly rides long tours or races should always have the essentials with them.

When and Why You Should Use It:

• For crashes and scrapes right at the roadside
• For clean wound coverage until medical treatment is available
• In your jersey or backpack as compact emergency supplies
• For blisters and minor skin injuries caused by equipment

Acupressure Plasters – Traditional Method Meets Modern Athlete

Acupressure plasters (also known as magnetic plasters or acupressure patches) are small, usually round plasters with integrated metal beads or special materials that are applied to acupuncture points. They are intended to stimulate local blood circulation through pressure on meridian points, relieve tension, and reduce pain sensations.

In a sports context, they are primarily used for knee problems, neck and back tension, or to complement recovery. Whether you believe in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine or not—many athletes report positive experiences, and the risk is minimal.

When and Why You Should Use It:

• For recurring tension in the neck, shoulders, or back
• To support pain relief for knee or hip issues
• As a complement to other recovery measures
• While traveling or on tours when physiotherapy is not available

Recovery Is Not a Luxury – It’s Training

Whether you're an ambitious hobby rider who races on weekends or an athlete who rides multiple times a day: those who approach recovery professionally will improve faster. The products in this category help you understand your body as a system, intelligently manage load and recovery—and stay healthy and high-performing in the long run.
