THE BRITISH TRIATHLON TEAM WEAR LINEBREAK - WHY SHOULD YOU?
For recovery?- LineBreak's™ scientifically designed and tested garments use gradient compression to improve circulation to muscles affected by Delayed Onset
- Improved circulation speeds up recovery by dispersing lactic acid and providing more efficient flow of re-oxygenated blood to the muscles.
- LineBreak's™ superior moisture management technology works with the body's thermoregulatory system to actively warm or cool the wearer regardless of exertion levels and ambient air temperature. LineBreak™is clinically proven to reduce sweat rates by a staggering 30% (Robert Newton et al, 2006).
To reduce soft tissue injury?
- During exercise, LineBreak™ products stabilise muscles from the dynamic forces that cause micro-tearing to muscle fibres. Reduced muscle oscillation means the natural degradation that causes fatigue and performance declineis slowed significantly.
- The key benefits of stabilising muscles and speeding venus blood flow is maximised endurance, power and performance (Bringard A et al, 2005).
During Training:
- Tights Increase blood flow reducing the build up of lactic acid
- During Sprint sessions tights give extra support and power to legs
- Tights reduce muscle vibration which is a cause of muscle tearing & soreness
- They actually keep your muscles cool in the heat and warm in the cold
- Reduced chaffing – items are designed to move with you offering complete comfort
After Training:
- Put on immediately after training or a match the tights help get rid of the lactic acid and waste product build up in the muscles – making your legs fresher
- The tights reduce muscle and joint swelling
- Worn prior to training Linebreak helps prepare the muscles for exercise
Travelling:
- An ideal aid to recovery when driving home, flying abroad or on the bus home from a game
And so to bed…..
- LineBreak should be kept on after training for at least 4 hours but why not for the rest of the day? You will get more benefits the longer they stay on & will wake up fresher and ready to go the following day
