Compression and its influence on physiology 4. Compression for medical uses 5. Evaluation of compression for sportswear 5.1 Effects of using compression garments 6. Application of compression sportswear 6.1Cycling 6.2 Skiing 6.3 Rugby 7 Market trends in compression sportswear 8 Contextual factors affecting compression garment performance 1. Garment sizing 2. Body shape 3. Sizing and designing with stretch fabrics 4. Fabric panels 9 Summary and conclusions 10 References 1.0 INTRODUCTION Sport and exercise involves physical movement of the body (torso, upper and lower limbs) and, in some cases, amateurs and professionals alike endure soft tissue injury. At the elite level, improved individual performance during a tournament or a game is vital. Many athletes consider that compression of muscles to support, enhance muscle alignment and improve the efficiency of muscle movements is essential. They also adopt the adage of strapping the injured part to assist recovery from injury. In recent years, there has been an increase in usage and demand for compression garments for a 1 number of sportswear applications and recreational activities due to their ability to offer functional support to the wearer. The main aim of this chapter is to present research relating to compression garments and highlight the recent developments relating to specific sports such as cycling, skiing and rugby. The benefits of compression garments were documented in various settings (sports, clinical and non-clinical), although convincing evidence remains elusive. The reported benefits of using compression garments were mainly in enhancing blood circulation, reducing the recurrence of injury, aiding recovery, providing muscle support and reducing muscle soreness.

    Performance of Compression Garments for Cyclists

    Venkatraman et al PERFORMANCE OF COMPRESSION GARMENTS FOR CYCLISTS The Textile Institute’s International Conference on ADVANCES IN FUNCTIONAL TEXTILES 25-26th July 2013 Chancellor’s Hotel and Conference Centre, Manchester, UK Authors: Venkatraman, P.D., Tyler, D.J., Ferguson-Lee, L., and Bourke, A. Manchester Metropolitan University Department of Clothing Design and Technology Hollings Faculty, Old Hall Lane, Manchester, UK M14 6HR Abstract Base layer compression garments had been used by professional cyclists to enhance their performance. To date there is significant body of evidence relating to compression modalities in treating patients suffering from leg ulcers. However, research relating to sportswear compression garment is varied and inconclusive, a few research suggested benefit to athletes or aid recovery from exercise. This depends on a number of factors such as material (fabric/garment design, interaction), athlete (body shape, intensity of use, fitness, and perception) and type of sport or use (intensive or casual). The current research intends to establish a knowledge base by exploring the performance of garments using a combination of laboratory investigations and wearer perceptions. Four commercially available compression garments were evaluated for its performance. These include two professional brands (SKINS, RAPHA) and retail brands (Sub-dual and Sports Direct Muddyfox). The pressure profile of these garments was investigated on participants using Tekscan pressure sensors on various points (lower limb). Wearer trial investigated their perceptions for its fit, comfort, ease of wear, tactile sensation, and overall satisfaction. Various textile parameters evaluating garment durability, comfort, colourfastness and stability facilitated in determining its efficacy. In addition, wearer trials were conducted to measure physiological measurements.
