- Title
Compression garments for enhanced performance.
- Abstract
The article reports on the findings of an industrial research conducted by Research and Markets Ltd. regarding compression garments. According to the company, compression garments are skin tight items of clothing which provide mild compression on the muscle of the body to increase the flow of blood. Meanwhile, these garments have been worn on long haul flights to prevent deep vein thrombosis due to the materials used such as the proportion of elastane and blends of polyester. High-end yarns are also used by the manufacturers in order for the garments not to stretch out of shape after repeated laundering and wear.
