About Body Science:
<p>To The Body Science High Performance Team,<br>
</p>
<p>During our trial game against Auckland in January (2006), the Team from Body Science
approached some of our boys who suffered from acute & chronic lower back fatigue
and pain to wear their BSC "KompressorZ" (compression garments). Several
players in a variety of positions were issued a number of garments – namely
the upper body garment (forwards) and the compression socks (backs). <br>
The consensus amongst all players who wore the garments was very positive. Players
found them very comfortable to wear and felt it enhanced their performance in
a number of ways.</p>
<p>Players reported some beneficial effects of the garments as being;
<ul>
<li> Fast drying (sweat evaporates well from the garment)</li>
<li> Greater circulation which assist in recovery & warmth to injured muscles/areas</li>
<li> Greater compression (assists in biofeedback of joints & muscles which
is very important during specific rehab exercises) </li>
</ul>
</p>
From a more scientific standpoint, the gradient compression material used in the
KompressorZ would be effective in recovery & decreasing the risk of DVT and
stiffness during travel whether it be train, bus or plane, especially some of
the distances and time our boys have to travel – these will be further trialled
on trips to NZ & South Africa.
<p> The advantage the BSC Body Science compression garments has is that it is
ergonomically patterned to human anatomy as opposed to being straight up and
down – an important design component to assist recovery & rehab of
your athlete. </p>
<p>In professional sport, it can be as little as 1%’s that decides the difference
between winning or losing - whether it be a getting an athlete back into full
training earlier by a few days or 1 week or recovery more efficiently to come
back into a full training week refreshed. If that comes from a placebo, I’ll
take it. The BSC Body Science garments make the players feel more confident
coming back from injury and during recovery and to me – that’s a
good thing for a player who plays off confidence to feel!</p>
<p>I have no hesitation in recommending BSC garments as a valuable tool in increasing
the recovery & performance and rehabilitation of your athlete whatever the
level they are participating at. </p>
<p>Your Sincerely,</p>
