Abstract

The present specification relates to a compression taping functional sock, and more particularly, to a functional sock for improving blood circulation and enhancing exercise performance. In one aspect, with respect to a functional sock according to one embodiment of the present invention, a Kinesio taping technique is applied so as to improve a user's blood circulation, and enhanced support is provided so as to enable the performance of stable and accurate exercise.

Description

compression taped socks

The present specification relates to a functional sock capable of producing a compression taping effect that improves blood circulation and enhances exercise performance by itself.

In general, socks refer to woven yarn or fibers to be worn on bare feet.

These socks are worn by covering the legs of the user's body to protect them from external stimuli.

It protects the feet, maintains body temperature, and absorbs sweat and moisture to keep the body comfortable.

Recently, in relation to these socks, functional socks that provide additional functions beyond the classic function of enclosing and protecting the feet are being released in various ways for each function.

Among functional socks, compression socks improve blood circulation by providing pressure to the wearer's wearing area, or increase exercise performance by providing adequate support during exercise. This compression sock provides pressure to the user when worn by weaving the entire or one area with elastic yarn.

In the case of conventional compression socks using inappropriate elastic yarn, there is a problem of poor fit, such as generating numbness in the legs or obstructing blood circulation due to excessive elastic force during long-time activity and exercise, and leaving marks after taking off the socks. In addition, if the elastic force is insignificant, there is a problem in that the supporting force is not sufficient because the pressure cannot be provided.

[Example 1] Preparation of functional socks

Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 with the configuration of Tables 1 and 2 below

socks were made. The socks of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were manufactured in a shape that could wrap the calf from the sole of the foot, and the compression area was performed using the Kinesio taping method.

applied. Each yarn was woven by twisting at 1500TM. Functionality of Example 3

A photograph of the socks is shown in FIG. 2 .

[Example 2] Evaluation of blood circulation improvement effect

The blood circulation improvement effect of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was measured. Specifically, 30 adults in their 20s and 40s were allowed to wear Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 for 6 hours, and then a questionnaire on the improvement of blood circulation was conducted. The blood circulation improvement effect was averaged on a 5-point scale for the degree of leg swelling and leg pickle, and the results are shown in Table 3. The lower the score of leg swelling and pickle leg, the better the effect of improving blood circulation in the lower extremities.

As shown in Table 3, Examples 1 to 3, which provide step-by-step compression by varying the modulus of elasticity of each compression area, showed lower leg swelling and leg pickling compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 3, thereby improving the blood circulation of the lower extremities. excellence was confirmed.

[Example 3] Evaluation of the effect of improving the feeling of use

The effect of improving the usability of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was measured. Specifically, after wearing Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 for 20 men in their 20s and 30s, and having them play futsal for 1 hour, a questionnaire was conducted on the feeling of use and support. The feeling of use and the degree of support were averaged on a 5-point scale, and the results are shown in Table 4.

As shown in Table 4, Examples 1 to 3, which provide step-by-step compression by varying the modulus of elasticity of each compression region, provide not only better feeling of use during exercise, but also higher support than Comparative Examples 1 to 3 could check
