Take your training to the next level with AQF’s range of knee supports and compression knee sleeves. Whether you’re lifting heavy in the gym, recovering from injury, or preventing knee strain during everyday activity, our products provide the stability, comfort, and performance boost you need.

Made from high-grade neoprene and breathable fabrics, our knee supports are designed to:

  • Protect your knee joint and ligaments from strain.
  • Improve blood circulation and reduce swelling.
  • Provide gentle compression for recovery and performance.
  • Enhance stability during squats, lunges, and high-impact training.

Note: Knee supports are training aids and not medical devices. If you’re recovering from injury, consult a qualified professional.

 

Why Choose AQF Knee Supports?

Injury Prevention & Protection – Studies show compression knee sleeves can reduce joint vibration and increase proprioception, lowering the risk of injury (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Research).
Faster Recovery – Compression helps accelerate muscle recovery by reducing lactic acid buildup and swelling.
Improved Performance – Many athletes report greater confidence and stability when lifting weights with knee sleeves.
Trusted by Athletes in the UK – With thousands of satisfied customers, AQF is one of the UK’s go-to brands for gym supports.

 

Knee Sleeves vs Knee Braces: What’s the Difference?

  • Knee Sleeves – Best for gym workouts, squats, running, and mild joint support. Flexible, breathable, and ideal for performance enhancement.
  • Knee Braces – Provide stronger stabilization, typically used for recovery after injuries or for medical conditions like ACL/MCL sprains.

If you need everyday workout support, go for neoprene knee sleeves. If you’re recovering from a serious injury, consult a physio and consider a brace.

 

Knee Support Sizing & Fit Guide

A sleeve should feel snug—firm compression without numbness or pinching.

How to measure (60 seconds):

  • Stand naturally; knee slightly bent (~30°).
  • Measure knee circumference at mid-patella (centre of kneecap).
  • Compare to our AQF size chart on each product page.
  • Too loose → reduced support and slippage.
  • Too tight → restricted blood flow and discomfort.
    Tip: If you’re between sizes, lifters chasing max stability often size down; for longer workouts, stay true to size.

Care: Air-dry after sessions; cold hand-wash when needed; avoid tumble-drying to preserve neoprene elasticity.

Which type of knee support is best?

It really depends on what you need. If you're looking for something light and flexible, a neoprene knee sleeve is a great choice. It provides warmth and mild support for everyday activities. If you need more stability or are recovering from an injury, you might want a stronger brace.

How tight should knee support be?

Your knee support should be snug but not too tight. It should give support without being uncomfortable or cutting off circulation. Neoprene knee sleeves are made to fit well but still let you move easily. If it’s too tight or loose, it won’t work as well.

Can knee support prevent injuries?

Yes, wearing a knee sleeve can help reduce the chance of injuries by providing stability. But keep in mind, it won’t stop all injuries. It’s important to also work on proper movement and strengthening your knee to stay safe.

How long can knee support be worn?

You can wear knee support during most activities, but take breaks to avoid any irritation. A neoprene knee sleeve can be worn for long periods, but removing it when resting or sleeping is a good idea to let your skin breathe.

When should knee support be replaced?

You should replace your knee support when it starts to lose its stretch or doesn’t fit well anymore. A worn-out neoprene knee sleeve won’t offer the same support. Keep an eye out for any signs of wear and replace it to ensure proper protection.

Will knee sleeves help me squat more?


They won’t add kilos by themselves, but the warmth and compression can improve joint feel and confidence, helping you focus on technique and power.

Which thickness should I choose?


5 mm for mixed training and longer sessions; 7 mm for heavier, shorter sets where stability is the priority.

Can I wear sleeves for running or conditioning?


Yes - 5 mm is typically better for running and circuits thanks to its mobility.

How tight should they feel?


Secure but not painful. If you feel numbness, pins-and-needles, or sharp restriction, size up.

Are AQF sleeves competition-legal?


Rules vary by federation. Check your federation’s current equipment list before meet day.

How do I stop sleeves from slipping?


Choose the correct size, pull them over dry skin or light leggings, and ensure the seam sits straight. Wash occasionally to remove chalk/sweat that reduces grip.
