Performance enhancing clothing range released by Body Science

Australia’s elite athletes are already benefiting from an exciting new range of sports garments, scientifically proven to significantly boost performance and recovery.

Developed in association with leading industry human performance specialists and using extensive research data from studies involving athletes at all levels, KompressorZ is the name given to the technology used to develop a unique range of patented and medically registered compression undergarments, which help to target muscle groups – a significant factor in sports performance. KompressorZ was developed by top Australian sports performance company, Body Science, to enhance and complement its already successful range of nutritional and sports supplements.

The Body

The Body Science range uses KompressorZ technology to help athletes at all levels - from the elite, to the ‘weekend warrior’ - perform at their peak.

The lightweight and comfortable range is based on research on real athletes, rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, and includes separate men’s and women’s design elements.

The Science

The key to garments’ performance benefits is the compression produced by their superior, targeted design.

Panels provide targeted compression to the relevant muscle groups. This means each muscle group is independently supported.

This unique feature is promoted during the muscle movement.

The fabric's return weave and the permanent and aggressive moisture management properties make its design an industry leader

The development of KompressorZ further enhances Body Science’s strong reputation in manufacturing excellence and consistency.

Innovative and well-respected international brands, including Sorbtek ®, Creora ®, X-static ® and UPF 50+ ® are all associated with the Body Science KompressorZ.

How muscle compression improves performance

Muscle compression has been proven to provide a number of benefits. Body Science KompressorZ targeted compression allows for both injury prevention and recovery.

• Improved targeted muscle alignment. Results in greater muscle stamina and endurance.
  
• The garment encloses each region like a muscle sheath. This strengthens and supports the targeted muscle groups, reducing muscular micro-tears caused by muscle vibration during sporting activities. This delays the onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) and improves recovery times.
  
• Improved proprioception. Provided in the standard (muscle belly) and the new targeted (muscle sheathing) range. Proprioception is the body's own sensory mechanism for balance, motor co-ordination and movement.
  
• Reduced oscillation. The targeted compression is used to improve the alignment of the muscles and reduce translational movement. The linear movements are promoted, thereby improving muscle efficacy. This leads to increased efficiency in movement and reduces the likelihood of injury due to muscle misalignment.
  
• Enhanced circulation by promoting venous return. This physiological improvement promotes oxygenated blood flow which assists the body’s performance, power, endurance, and the removal of waste, including lactic acid (a principal cause of muscle soreness post exercise).
  
• Sorbtek ® research has also proven that the moisture management qualities of the Body Science KompressorZ fabric keeps wearers drier, and regulates their core temperature both during and after exercise. This means Body Sciences KompressorZ keeps athletes cool when it’s hot and less chilled when it is cold. The ‘Catch, Move, Release’ system - moves moisture faster and further than any other yarn. Body Science KompressorZ instantly ‘catch’ moisture from the skin, ‘move’ it to the outer layer of the garment and ‘release’ it to the air. X-static ®, silver fibre in the groin region helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. This neutralises odour-causing ammonia and denatured proteins. X- static ® also aids in the reduction of electrostatic discharge.
  

Anyone who exercises will understand - KompressorZ just feels better.
