PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BODY SCIENCE TARGETED COMPRESSION
Every Body Science Compression garment is made of the finest Australian quality materials and workmanship Body Science knows the importance of sports science. While many companies claim compression, Body Science boasts the new generation Multi Directional Targeted Medical Grade Compression Garment Sounds technical – it is, but it still looks and feels great.
Targeted Compression
Targeted compression to major muscle groups improves performance, delays fatigue, reduces injury and speeds recovery.
Superior Fabric
Therapeutically rated knit construction offers highest denier and gsm for longer life compression and durability.
Body Mapping Technology
Enhanced circulation from independently tested body mapping gradient compression.
Muscle Power +
Calculated power yarn means focused force, power and control over muscle vibration.
Perma-Dry
Advanced permanent catch, move and release system, wicks moisture faster and further.
Thermo-Control
Optimises body temperature for the life of the garment. Keeping athletes cooler, faster and longer.
Body Fresh
Anti-bacterial and microbiological silver weave does not wash out, unlike other chemical treatments.
UV Block
SBF50+

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY
Targeted Compression, Targeted Muscles.
BSc Targeted compression is a science that takes into account knowledge of muscle shapes and their functions allowing the design of the most advance compression garment on the market today. The art behind BSc targeted compression garment lies in its multiple patents ten panel design enabling unprecedented muscle support and graded compression to the entire leg group.
Leg Group
Often described as the heart muscle of the legs due to its continual venous return, the Calf Muscle is often responsible for dynamic plantar flexion, an important component of any explosive activity of the leg. The cut and panel arrangement of BSc targeted compression garment allows the ultimate in graded compression to this key muscle group allowing an enhancement in blood flow and reduction in lactic acid accumulation to the lower leg whiles reducing muscle vibration across this muscle group. A complex muscle in design, the Hamstrings consists of 3 muscles which are predominantly responsible for flexion of the knee and extension of the thigh making it a central muscle in athletic disciplines. The cut of BSc targeted compression hamstring panel has been designed to keep these 3 muscles in line and at optimal position. This allows a reduction in the delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) by accelerating the inflammatory and repair timeframe within the muscle. The action of running involves constant movements between extension and flexion causing a great degree of oscillatory movement to occur in skeletal muscles particularly the quadriceps as they are forced to accelerate, decelerate and absorb impact shocks. The panel arrangement implemented by BSc targeted compression garment acts to enclose each of the 4 Quadriceps muscles like a sheath significantly reducing longitudinal and anterior-posterior muscle oscillation ultimately aiding muscle recovery post exercise. The Adductors or Groin consists of 4 muscles which are responsible for Adduction, hip flexion and lateral rotation of the thigh. Groin Strains are quite common with these muscles due to muscles becoming hypertonic with use and when stretched often tear. BSc targeted compression panels have been designed to increase groin proprioception via greater feedback from skin proprioceptors as a consequence of the tactile interaction between the garments and the skin surface whiles also enhancing the core muscle temperature, ultimately resulting in fewer incidents of injury. The actions of running, jumping and even walking are all extremely important aspects of athletic performance however repeated performances of these activities can unfortunately cause a stress reaction in the mid-shaft of the tibia commonly known as shin splints. Shin splints often arise as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Knowledge of this common athletic injury has led to the design and placement of panel that directly targets the shins. This specific panel reduces impact shock by reducing oscillatory movement around the tibia during heel strike whiles providing improved blood flow to the lower leg group. Both these mechanisms aid in reducing DOMS around the tibia and in turn shin splints. Explosive actions of the leg often start from the Gluteal muscle. One of the strongest muscles in the human body, special attention has been made in BSc targeted compression design in targeting this muscle group. Seam and panel alignment provide the ultimate in compression by enhancing blood flow to the Gluteal muscle group and acting as an elastic band by providing stored potential energy in the compression garments to facilitate explosive power.
Torso Group
Upper body Explosive muscular power is highly correlated with success in a vast array of sports. The Pectoral muscle group forms a thick fan-shaped muscle of the chest responsible for flexing, adducting and medially rotating the Humerus, or put simply the majority of pushing or pulling actions of the upper body. Knowledge of the importance of this muscle group has lead to BSc designing specific compression panels that target the pectoral muscle group via panels and seams so compression is applied across the whole chest. This ultimately reduces oscillatory displacement of muscle in the chest optimizing neurotransmission and the mechanics of muscle contraction at the molecular level. The Deltoid muscle also known as the shoulder muscle is an extremely complex muscle due to the arrangement of three different sets of muscle fibres that form together to comprise the deltoid. This unfortunately makes the deltoid muscle susceptible to fatigue further promoting serious injury. The cut and arrangement of BSc deltoid panel has specifically been designed to enclose the deltoid muscle sheath, providing strength and support to the muscle group reducing the likelihood of injury. As a natural consequence of performing exercise the body produces heat, however in many sports the environmental conditions athletes are subjected to can further challenge the body’s ability to regulate temperature. Knowledge of this has lead to BSc to employ a catch, move, release moisture management technology in the fabric of all its compression garments to ensure superior temperature regulation. This technology is coupled with breathable mesh panels in differing targeted areas of the body further promoting the body’s ability to regulate shifting temperatures.
