The Gastrocnemius and the Soleus form what is more commonly known as the Calf Muscles, responsible for plantar flexion of the foot. In sporting situations these muscles become fatigued and ruptures are common at the point where the Achilles tendon merges with the belly of the Calf muscle. The cut of the Body Science Gradient Compression Garment assists in compression of this area aiding in enhanced circulation, lactic acid removal, keeping muscles warm without overheating, increased oxygen flow, reduced muscle vibration, reduces delayed muscle soreness and reduced muscle and ligament strain by keeping muscles in line and at optimal positions and finally aids recovery after exercise.

The Hamstrings consist of 3 muscles, 2 on the inside of the thigh called the Semitendinosus and the Semimembranosus with 1 on the outside of the thigh called the Biceps Femoris. These muscles are responsible for flexion of the knee and extension of the thigh and are often injured when inadequate warm ups are performed and also when kicking to the front, therefore special attention was given to this area when designing the cut of the Body Science Gradient Compression Garment. It also assists in compression of this area aiding in enhanced circulation, lactic acid removal, muscles kept warm without overheating, increased oxygen flow, reduced muscle vibration, delayed muscle soreness and muscle and ligament strain by keeping muscles in line and at optimal positions and finally aids recovery after exercise.

The Quadriceps are made up of 4 muscles, the Rectus Femoris which crosses both the hip and knee joint and Vastus medialis, Vastus Intermedius and Vastus lateralis which act on the knee joint only. They all aid in extension of the leg and flexing the thigh. Many problems with knees can be traced back to faulty alignment of these muscles through training techniques or inadequate stretching. The Body Science Gradient Compression Garment has been specifically cut to assist in compression of this area aiding in enhanced circulation, lactic acid removal, muscles kept warm without overheating, increased oxygen flow, reduced muscle vibration, delayed muscle soreness and muscle and ligament strain by keeping muscles in line and at optimal positions and finally aids recovery after exercise.

The Adductors or Groin consist of 4 muscles, the Pectineus Adductor, the Adductor Brevis, the Adductor Longus and the Adductor Magnus. These are responsible for Adduction, hip flexion and lateral rotation of the thigh. Groin Strains are common with these muscles. They become hypertonic with over-use and when stretched often tear. When designing the Body Science Gradient Compression Garment special attention was given to these muscles to aid in compression of this area - assisting in enhanced circulation, lactic acid removal, keeping muscles warm without overheating, increasing oxygen flow, reducing muscle vibration, delaying muscle soreness and muscle and ligament strain by keeping muscles in line and at optimal positions and finally which aids recovery after exercise.

By incorporating this knowledge of muscle shape and function and adding the other previously mentioned advanced functions has assisted us in developing a far superior Garment.

GRADIENT COMPRESSION GARMENT Follows a simple but very effective mechanism: the muscles

• Ergonomically patterned to male anatomy
• Enhanced circulation
• Aid lactic acid removal
• Increase flow of oxygen
• Reduce muscle vibration
• Reduce delayed muscle soreness (DOMS)
• Reduce muscle and ligament strain by keeping muscles in line and at optimum position
• Aid recovery after exercise
• Keep muscles warm without overheating
