The compressor unit is rechargeable, meaning you can plug it into the wall at home and charge it up in case you are going to a remote area for a race or trail run. If you do have an area you want to focus on, like a hamstring or calf issue, you can hit the Zone Boost button and it’s going to work that area more. While testing it around the Runner's World offices, we've been starting people much lower, around a three or four. A power level offers a pressure gauge of 1 up to 7. You can dial in as much time as you want, for example 20 minutes or 30 minutes, and then how much squeeze you want. When it gets up high, it will let pressure off, so basically it’s just moving the fluids through your legs much like a compression sock, but you're getting the massaging benefits as well. It pulses, working its way up to the fifth zone and holding pressure in the zones below. They work their way up from the feet, giving you a really snug squeeze, almost working like a massage. There are five zones in these boots, and they’ll start inflating to the shape of your body. They run from your foot to your hip, and they plug in with an air hose to a compressor, which is where all the magic happens. This system is basically inflatable boots. For the past couple of years, NormaTec has been targeting everyday runners who are training for marathons and and need the benefits of recovery. You may have seen elite athletes such as Meb Keflezighi and Ryan Hall using these inflatable boots after a hard race or workout to recover. This is the NormaTec Pulse leg recovery system.
