710814Python Compression - Working closely with PHD student's we've designed a new peice of compression clothing, using specialised weaving of nylon and elastine, we are able to increase compression around the joint for increased performance in sport, increasedClosedGRD Proof of ConceptInnovate UKThe Python Performance project is a game changer in the sports apparel markets. The sports apparel industry is now worth around $150bn and set to reach $178bn by 2019. Python will be pioneering research into compression clothing for sports. Using our methodology for a completely new way of weaving materials we’re able to pinpoint compression around joints. This gives the user a comfortable set of undergarments, which are streamlined, but provide the support, and heat around a joint required for increased performance in sport. This new technology will reduce recovery time of athletes, reduce joint deterioration over time and increase performance in selected discipline (whether sprinting, running, cycling, weightlifting, powerlifting, or general sports). The outcomes from the project will be a basic prototype, tested and proved, of an innovative game changing pair of compression tights, and a compression shirt, which will provide the results stated above.
