Description

Sportswear

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

With the prevalence of exercise, regardless of age, gender, ethnic group, race, or age group, it is necessary to improve or maintain cardiopulmonary capacity, muscle endurance, promote metabolic rate, and improve immunity through normal regular exercise. Eliminate the psychological stress, improve the quality of life and other benefits to have the best physical and mental state.

However, whether it is yoga, running, playing basketball, volleyball, playing football, etc., it is necessary to have a correct posture to prevent sports injuries and soreness caused by poor posture. Therefore, many athletes will use a special elastic and stretchable patch to attach to the surface of human skin, and use the mechanical effect of the patch on the skin to protect muscles and joints to prevent injuries, reduce pain, and reduce tissue pressure. , Relax and support muscles, improve exercise performance, and also help promote lymph metabolism and blood circulation. However, using the patch method requires athletes to attach before each exercise, which is not only troublesome, but once the attachment position is incorrect, it often causes discomfort, and the patch can also be caused by hair after it is applied to the skin. Or sebum affects the viscosity, so it is difficult to reuse it after the patch is removed.

There are a number of functional tight-fitting exercises designed to adjust the body to the correct posture according to the attributes of each exercise, muscle support, lactic acid accumulation, calories consumed by muscle swings, body temperature maintenance, and kinetic energy utilization. Clothing, sports pants, and the above-mentioned functional tight sportswear and sports pants are knitted by using elastic fabric, and an elastic tightening portion is formed on the fabric to tightly bind the binding, so as to provide the athlete through the elastic tightening portion Moderate tightening pressure during exercise stabilizes and strengthens muscle groups, and accelerates muscle compression to accelerate blood circulation, increase metabolic rate, and accelerate the breakdown of lactic acid, which is not easy to cause soreness and weakness, and thus increase muscle strength and endurance, and improve exercise Efficiency, so that athletes have better performance.

However, currently the functional tight-fitting sportswear and sweatpants sold on the market, which are specially provided for athletes, are focused on improving the performance of the sport, so the pressure value of the elastic tightening part is very high, which not only causes the athlete's It is inconvenient to put on and take off, and if the elastic tightening portion is pressed on the human body for a long time, it will cause problems such as nerve compression or blood circulation obstruction, so it is only suitable for short-term competition wear.

On the other hand, the pressure value of the elastic tightening portion of a functional tight-fitting sportswear, sports pants, etc. that is suitable for ordinary consumers who are not athletes is relatively small. This allows ordinary consumers to wear comfortably, but its compression effect It doesn't improve significantly.

The invention provides a sports clothing for improving the efficiency of movement of the human muscle group.

The sportswear of the present invention is integrally formed and has a compression and compaction zone woven from a first composite yarn, an elastic breathable zone and a buffer zone woven from a second composite yarn, wherein the buffer zone is located in the compression and compression zone.

Press to meet the needs of exercise.

In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments are hereinafter described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B are schematic diagrams of sports clothing according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial schematic diagram of the sports clothing of FIG. 1A. Please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, and FIG. 2 at the same time. The sports clothing 100 of the present invention may be a single-finger top, a single-finger top, or a set of tops and bottoms, which is determined according to actual needs. In addition, the sports clothing 100 of the present invention adopts a one-piece molding technology, which means that the sports clothing 100 is formed by weaving various regions in an uninterrupted weaving manner, rather than first weaving individual regions and then using stitching or stitching to combine them. Made. By applying different types of yarns with different elasticity, different counts, different materials, and fabrics with different degrees of tightness (compact tissue, compact tissue, according to ergonomics in different areas of the sports clothing 100 according to ergonomics) , Elastic tissue, etc.) are woven with circular weaving in a staggered and matched manner, so that the pressure value of the clothing provided in different regions is different, which can enhance the muscle strength and take into account the comfort of the wearer.

In detail, the sportswear 100 integrally woven by using at least two or more composite yarns has a compression and compacting region 110 made of the first composite yarn, and elastic breathability made of the second composite yarn. Area 120 and buffer area 130, wherein the buffer area 130 is located between the compression and compaction area 110 and the elastic breathable area 120, and the compression and compaction area 110 and the buffer area 130 are changed tissues, and The elastic breathable region 120 is a basic structure. Here, the change structure means that the fabric structure of the area is, for example, a rib texture, and the basic structure means the fabric structure of the area, for example, a plain texture.

Following the above, the first composite yarn includes a first yarn and a second yarn, wherein the denier number of the first yarn may be between 40 and 150, and the denier number of the second yarn may be between 70 and 260. . The material of the first yarn may be a chemical fiber or a natural fiber, and preferably a durable fiber; and the material of the second yarn may be an elastic fiber. In addition, the second composite yarn includes a third yarn and a fourth yarn, and the denier number of the third yarn may be between 30 and 100, and the denier number of the fourth yarn may be between 10 and 70. The material of the third yarn may be a chemical fiber or a natural fiber, and preferably a durable fiber; and the material of the fourth yarn may be an elastic fiber. In some specific designs, the denier number of the third yarn is preferably between 35 and 50, and the optimal denier number of the third yarn is 40; and the denier number of the fourth yarn is preferably between 10 ~ 20, and the optimal value of the denier of the fourth yarn is 15.

For example, the compression and compacting region 110 is woven with a rib of a first composite yarn having a relatively large diameter. The first yarn of the first composite yarn has a denier number of 80, for example, and the material is Chemical synthetic fibers, such as nylon fibers; and the denier of the second yarn is, for example, 180, and the material is, for example, elastic fibers, such as polyurethane fibers. Because the rib structure itself has strong shrinkage characteristics, and then combined with thicker synthetic fibers and elastic yarns, the overall fabric has high tension and stretch characteristics, which can maintain the dual effects of compression and firmness. The compression and compact area 110 in this embodiment is presented in a 3 × 5 rib structure.

Furthermore, the compression pressure of the compression region 110 is between 10 mmHg and 35 mmHg. The compression-compact region 110 can be roughly classified into two types: a support type and a compression type. In the gluteus maximus, the compression and compaction zone 110 needs to provide stable action muscle groups and reduce energy consumption as the target, so it is mainly supported; in the biceps femoris, medial femoris muscle, gastrocnemius muscle, Achilles tendon, etc. It emphasizes the purpose of covering and improving muscle strength, so it is mainly compression type. The compression and compacting area 110 is woven with elastic yarns with high recovery ability according to the required pressure value of different block shapes. The fabric structure is focused on different isometric rib structures, and the fineness of the elastic yarn is, for example, 75 Denny or more.

The elastic breathable area 120 is woven by a plain weave of a second composite yarn with a relatively small diameter. The third yarn of the second composite yarn has a denier number of, for example, 50, and the material is, for example, a chemical synthetic fiber, such as Nylon fiber; and the denier number of the fourth yarn is, for example, 15, and the material is, for example, elastic fiber, such as polyurethane fiber. Due to the larger interstices between plain weave loops and the use of finer diameter yarn combinations, the yarn has a lower density and can retain the dual effects of elasticity and air permeability.

The buffer zone 130 between the compression and firming region 110 and the elastic and breathable region 120 is woven with a rib (variation) structure similar to that of the compression and compacting region 110 using the same second composite yarn as the elastic and breathable region 120 (The buffer zone 130 is, for example, a 2 × 2 rib structure), so it is better than the elastic breathable area 120 because it is woven using a rib structure with strong shrinkage characteristics, and can have better compression and firming effect. For the compression and compaction region 110 (using the first composite yarn), because the diameter of the second composite yarn used for the buffer zone 130 is thinner and the rib structure is loose, the shrinkage characteristics are not as strong as those of the compression and compaction region 110. Therefore, the buffer zone 130 can have the advantages of the compression and compact area 110 and be more elastic than the elastic and breathable area 120, and have the advantages of the elastic and breathable area 120 and have a more breathable effect than the compression and compact area 110.

The garment pressure of the elastic breathable region 120 is less than or equal to 5 mmHg. The elastic breathable area 120 mainly provides the wearer with a comfortable covering feeling. Therefore, a yarn with a Denny number of 75D or less is used, and the fabric structure is mainly a plain weave and a mesh structure. The buffer pressure of the buffer zone 130 is between 5 ~ 10mmHg. Since the buffer zone 130 is located between the elastic breathable zone 120 and the compression and compact zone 110, it is used to alleviate the difference in performance between the high and low pressure difference zone, and it is comfortable to wear. Sexuality is preferred to weave dot-shaped staggered tissues.

From the above, it can be known that the pressure difference between the clothing pressure of the compression and compact area 110 and the elastic breathable area 120 of the sports clothing 100 of this embodiment can reach more than twice, which can fully exhibit the characteristics of the high-pressure difference area.

Depending on the composite yarn used and the texture of the fabric, the zones described above also have different thicknesses. The thickness of the compression compact area 110 is the thickest, which may be greater than or equal to 1.0 mm; the thickness of the buffer zone 130 is the second, which may be between 0.5-1.0 mm; and the thickness of the elastic breathable area 120 is the thinnest, which may be less than or equal to 0.5 mm.
