Benefits of technology
The present invention is a seamless circular or warp knitted garment compression garment that provides targeted anatomical musculature support to address the shortcomings of current compression garments in the market. The garment comprises targeted higher compression muscle support zones and relative lower compression zones that are seamlessly knitted in the garment, resulting in a seamless construction that defines and overlays the wearer's muscle surface anatomy. The fabric is made of nylon, polyester, and spandex. The garment has antimicrobial and moisture-wicking properties and can be applied to various forms of compression garments for men and women.
Problems solved by technology
Most compression garments do not however provide targeted support to areas of the body, but rather overall compression.
As a result, compression garments have inherent unwanted push-pull effects that reduce the garment ability to maintain optimal compression support for complex moving muscles.
Some compression garments provide some targeted higher compression zones by sewing higher compression fabric panels in dedicated areas and adjoining the panel shapes at the seams, however the amount of targeted support zones is always limited due to the practical construction complications that will always arise from sewing too many seam lines in the garment.

Embodiment Construction
[0024]The illustrated garments as seen in all embodiments comprises of targeted higher compression muscle support zones knitted in seamlessly and lower compression zones knitted seamlessly in-between and around the targeted higher compression muscle support zones, thereby isolating each targeted higher compression muscle support zone from one another; wherein the total seamless construction provides targeted anatomical muscle compression support, and said construction collectively defines and overlays the human musculature surface anatomy of the wearer of the garment.
[0025]In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the compression garment is a men long sleeve top, comprising of targeted anatomical muscle support for the chest 10, shoulders 11, front arms 12, back arms 13, abdominals 14 and back 15 and partial glute 16.
[0026]In FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the compression garment is a men's short, comprising of targeted anatomical muscle support for the glutes 16, thighs 17 and hamstrings 18.
[0027]In FIG. 5 and FI...

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a compression garment and in particular a seamless compression garment for providing targeted anatomical muscle support, as well as increased circulation, and better recovery from athletic activity.BACKGROUND[0002]In today's athletic environment, many athletes wear compression garments for numerous purported advantages including muscle support for injury prevention, as well as reduced muscle vibration and better circulation, which can aid in recovery from fatigue.[0003]Most compression garments do not however provide targeted support to areas of the body, but rather overall compression. As a result, compression garments have inherent unwanted push-pull effects that reduce the garment ability to maintain optimal compression support for complex moving muscles. Some compression garments provide some targeted higher compression zones by sewing higher compression fabric panels in dedicated areas and adjoining the panel shapes a...
