Explosive muscular power is of key importance to performing a wide array of exercises. Knowledge of the importance of this athletic component has led to the unique targeted compression design that enhances power by targeting specific muscle groups via panels and seams so compression is applied across the whole targeted muscle groups. Independent research in track and field athletes has reported a 5.2% increase in maximal vertical jump height by simply wearing the targeted compression garments, so how does this athletic phenomenon take place?
The art behind targeted compression increasing power relies on two central principles, the stretch shortening cycle of muscles and enhanced neuromuscular recruitment of dynamic muscles.
The first mechanism in power gains of targeted compression relies on a scientific anatomical design that positions panels and seams to enhance the stretch shortening cycle of muscles. Panels and seams are positioned in unison with muscles and tendons; this enables the garment to act as an elastic band that has stored potential energy. Therefore the compression garments under stretch can then be used to promote power levels. This fabric phenomenon facilitates the stretch shortening cycle ultimately enhancing your explosive power.
A second potential mechanism in targeted compressions ability to increase power is related to neuromuscular recruitment. Targeted compression allows an enhancement of proprioception and a reduction in muscle oscillation the likes which have never been seen in any compression garment on the market. Improved spatial awareness and reduced muscular oscillation enables a superior neuromuscular recruitment pattern resulting in more explosive and efficient muscular contractions. Train, play, and recover with BSc targeted compression.
