Sportswear

The present invention relates to a garment, and more particularly to a sports garment.

As people pay more attention to activities such as sports and leisure, they increase the opportunities for people to engage in sports, and most people also expect to have good athletic performance. For example, although training muscles or stretching exercises can increase muscle strength every day, there are still many people who are engaged in golfing. They hope that they can improve the swing speed of the club without good training muscles every day. which performed. Moreover, while increasing the amount of exercise, people may also cause sports injuries due to excessive exercise. Therefore, how to effectively help people improve their performance and prevent sports injuries is one of the concerns of developers.

The present invention provides a sportswear that can increase the performance of sports while preventing sports injuries.

The present invention provides a sports garment that is adapted to be worn on a user for asymmetric movement. The sports garment includes a first elastic fabric and a second elastic fabric. The first elastic fabric has 90% elastic recovery rate and garment pressure is 10~40mmHg, wherein the first elastic fabric covers a plurality of main muscle groups of asymmetric movement, and the first elastic fabric is arranged asymmetrically on the left and right sides of the user's body . The elastic recovery rate of the second elastic fabric is smaller than the elastic recovery rate of the first elastic fabric, and the garment pressure of the second elastic fabric is smaller than the garment pressure of the first elastic fabric.

Based on the above, in the sports garment of the present invention, since the first elastic fabric having high elastic recovery rate and high garment pressure covers a plurality of main muscle groups of asymmetrical movement, the first elastic fabric of the sports garment can be utilized. The rebound ability (ie, the stored elastic potential energy) assists the muscle contraction to increase the functional force, thereby enhancing the muscle strength of the muscle group used in the asymmetric movement, thereby enhancing the performance of the exercise.

1A and 1B, the sportswear 100 (including the top or pants, or both the top and the pants) is adapted to be worn on the user U (including the upper body, the lower body, or the whole body) for asymmetric movement. The asymmetrical motion described herein means that the main muscle groups (i.e., the maximally activated muscle group or the most powerful muscle group) used on the left and right sides of the body are different when performing a movement. Therefore, with the central axis of the human body as the axis of symmetry, these main muscle groups are asymmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the body (for example, obliquely distributed). Furthermore, the sportswear 100 includes a first elastic fabric 110, a second elastic fabric 120, and a breathable fabric 130. The first elastic fabric 110, the second elastic fabric 120, and the breathable fabric 130 may be formed with each other by, for example, seam bonding, needle bonding, or other suitable joining method to form the sports garment 100.

The action (that is, the sportswear 100 is a close-fitting golf apparel) is illustrated as an example.

The first elastic fabric 110 has 90% elastic recovery rate, and the clothing pressure is 10~40mmHg, preferably 15~30mmHg. Among them, the elastic recovery rate reflects the ability of the fabric to return to the original state after an external force (for example, stretching). Apparel pressure is a reflection of the force of compression into the human body due to the elastic deformation of the fabric. Therefore, the clothing pressure is generally related to the elastic recovery rate of the fabric material. The first elastic fabric 110 is, for example, an elastic cloth or an elastic breathable cloth.
