EmbioZ Support Application — Why Do You Need Compression Apparel?

Compression apparel is widely applied for multisport athletes in recent years. It has been confirmed that graduated compression garment can have positive effect on the physical and physiological performance of athletes. Recently, there has been an increase in the use ofgraduated lower extremity compression clothing within athletic populations both during training and after competition.

However, the benefits provided by the usage of compression apparel differ depending on when the apparel is being used. Research suggests that wearing compression apparel during exercise enhances the performance of the athletes in two ways:

THE ANAEROBIC APPLICATION

Compression garments has been shown to be beneficial in that it helps in force production Furthermore, compression clothing also lowers the duration needed to achieve peak power output. In addition, the injury rate is significantly reduced by wearing tightly bound wraps around joints of the body, since this mechanism improves proprioception input during exercnse.

THE AEROBIC APPLICATION

The beneﬁts associated with compression apparel have included increases venous hemodynamics, muscle oxygenation, limb blood ﬂow, and a lower heart rate during prolonged exercise. Moreover, compression garment also reduces the incidence of low frequency fatigue throughout the extensive training periods for athletes.

Recently, many athletes are turning to compression apparel to be worn during rest and sleep as a means of increasing recovery rate for subsequent training and competitions. The recovery rate is shortened so that the athletes are able to train at the required intensity, complete the required load at every training session. It has been demonstrated that wearing compression apparel post-exercise acts to enhance the sporting performance by decreasing indices of muscle soreness. This is due to the ability of graduated compression garments to increase venous blood flow thereby increasing muscle blood flow during subsequent recovery.

SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY

As the leading brand in sports medicine, LP shares the athlets desire to stay in the game and achieve breakthrough performance. That's why LP developed the EmbioZ- Men‘s Support series. LP EmbioZ- Men's Support series aims to inspire extraordinary possibilities enhance your sports performance and provide optimal comfort during competition or training by developing the technique of Power System and Comfort Systems

LP strives to fulfill 3 main purposes for the athletes — enhance sports performance, improve muscle power & endurance, offer optimal comfort through analysis of the physiological and psychological factors that affect the outcome of the performance.

The Support Series draws on the principles of biomechanics, Comfort System and the psychological strategies to fulﬁll these purposes:

POWER SYSTEM

POWER BAND + SQUARE BUFFER

The Power Band and Square Buffer that work together as Power System help correct movement pattern and maximize energy. Power System provides the athletes with the following beneﬁts:

Keeping You Stable
Storing Your Muscle Force
Increasing Your Endurance
Improving Your Coordination
Awakening Your Proprioception

Keeping You Stable

Power System alongside the center of the trunk or the limb drives an inner force to stabilize the proximal joint posture and ensure a smoother extension of the distal part through the release motion. It transfers the inner force to coordinate limb movements and to generate energy which is created with the larger segments and muscles, this energy transfers up through the trunk and out to the limbs. By strengthening the central core, athletes will have better control of motion.

Storing Your Muscle Force

Power System along the direction of the muscle contraction saves energy like a compressed spring. It helps concentrate the force rapidly upon the direction of movement to improve muscle power. Power System also covers the proximal muscle groups such as shoulders, hips and thigh which play a major role in providing movement force and helps improve energy transferring from proximal segment to distal segment to strengthen the propulsive force. Power System, covering the larger muscles, can reduce muscle oscillation in longitudinal rotation and anterior-posterior movement and save these energies to maximize muscle force.

Increasing Your Endurance

Power System compresses superﬁcial limb tissues, which in turn compress the underlying veins, this reduces total cross-sectional area of the veins to increase venous blood ﬂow velocity and reduce venous pooling. By increasing in arterial inﬂow through proper compression, the EmbioZ Men‘s Support series improves muscle oxygenation and accelerates metabolism. That's how EmbioZ- Men's Support series reduces edema and swelling of the body and prevent fatigue. This process prolongs the duration before muscle fatigue would set in and thus allows for better endurance.

Improving Your Coordination

Power System covers the anterior and posterior of the major muscles to get muscular balance. Muscle balance is important in the prevention of injuries and may assist in the development of maximum speed and improve muscular performance. Strength enhancement needs the development of not only agonist but also antagonistic muscles. Agonist muscles create a motion, and antagonist muscles then perform a motion that is the opposite of what the agonist muscles did to decelerate body segments and stabilize joints. The appropriate balance between agonists and antagonists is extremely important for executing correct movement pattern and ensuring excellent performance.

Awakening Your Proprioception

Power System around the major joint improves spatial and kinesthetic awareness and strengthens the relationship between them. It helps to make a better adjustment among body, space and force. This allows for the athletes to further reﬁne skill performance and increases the ability of selecting the correct movement pattern in achieving optimal balance, agility and speed for maximal performance.

COMFORT SYSTEM

3D WEAVED CHANNEL + MESH ZONE

Keeping body temperature constant is important during exercise. when core body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate to carry the excess heat to the skin's surface, causing increased blood ﬂow to the skin rather than to the muscles which may impair muscle function levels, physical performance and cause fatigue.

To solve the problem, LP develops the Comfort System to manage moisture and heat, and offer optimal wearing comfort for longer training and for better sports performance.

Staying Dry
Maintaining Ideal body Temperature

Staying Dry

The 30 weaved channel design helps manage moisture by the following ﬁve steps:

Absorbency : the bottom of channel which has direct contact to the skin has increased absorbency. This allows moisture to be absorbed quickly into the fabric.
Wicking : the thin channel acts as a capillary tube causing the spontaneous flow of a liquid in a porous substrate and transporting moisture away from the body surface.
Diffusion : water is absorbed into the fabric and diffused to the outer surface of the fabric. Diffusion increases the surface area of the liquid, which helps speed up the evaporation rate.
Evaporation : moisture vaporizes quickly on the fabric surface allowing the fabric to dry faster.
Isolation : moisture is retained in the outer layer to keep the skin feeling dry and comfortable. Air flow comes into the porous substrate and speeds up the evaporation and reduces the drying times during exercise.

Maintaining Ideal Body Temperature

The design of the mesh zone positioned along the core muscle and the curved site allows for faster heat dissipation during exercise. The higher air permeability allows the heat to transfer through fabrics quickly due to the thinner structure. The thinner fabric contributes to more comfort and prevents heat exhaustion during physical exercise.
