Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a wearable product that promotes the body's self-regulation (the body's ability to naturally maintain balance). Background Technology
[0002] Previously, various functional wearable products designed to assist the wearer's movements were known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an underwear shirt having a strong-pressure area with high binding force and a weak-pressure area with low binding force. The strong-pressure area is an intersecting X-shaped area near the center of the wearer's back. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a wearable product with an ink-printed pattern on the upper body. This ink-printed pattern is formed by printing ink containing powders of minerals such as radium ore, germanium, crystal, terahertz ore, and tourmaline, thereby providing an indirect bandaging function that regulates the body through weak stimulation.
[0003] Existing technical documents Patent documents Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2004-263362 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2024-16259 Summary of the Invention The technical problem that the invention aims to solve However, clothing that physically supports muscles or posture through strong compression, as in Patent Document 1 mentioned above, carries the risk of obstructing blood flow due to compression. Furthermore, while there are compression shirts like those in Patent Document 1, or types that use elastic bands or straps to fix specific muscles and joints and forcibly correct posture, these are not suitable for prolonged wear and are prone to causing fatigue. Products using minerals, as in Patent Document 2 mentioned above, have unclear durability issues, such as reduced functionality due to ink peeling or washing. Moreover, products utilizing the warming effect of far-infrared rays emitted by minerals are not directly related to fundamental posture correction, and some wearers experience discomfort after wearing them for a certain period. Additionally, while there are garments utilizing Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS), they require a power source, necessitating regular charging, and are not easily washed due to their connection to the power source.
[0004] The present invention was made in view of the above facts, and its purpose is to provide a wearable product that promotes the body’s self-regulation (the body’s ability to try to maintain balance naturally).
[0005] Solution to the above technical problems In order to achieve the above objectives, the structure (1) of the wearable article of the present invention is characterized by comprising: a body part having elasticity and surrounding the wearer's body part; and a tension-applying part disposed at a predetermined part of the body part, and having elasticity less than other parts of the body part, wherein the tension-applying part is provided with multiple strips, each of which is arranged as a non-overlapping and directional strip.
[0006] The wearable products of the present invention can be applied to all wearable products such as T-shirts, leggings (Spats), socks, knitted hats, gloves, abdominal binders, protective gear, and wristbands. According to the following embodiments, the wearable products involved in the present invention may also have the following subordinate structures.
[0007] <Structure (2)> In structure (1), the tension-applying part can be arranged radially from the center of the front or back of the main body.
[0008] <Structure (3)> In structure (1) or (2), the tension-applying portion may have: a first strip formed along the center of the front or back of the body portion; and a second strip and a third strip arranged in pairs that do not intersect with the first strip and are linearly symmetrical with respect to the center portion.
[0009] <Structure (4)> In structure (1) or (2), the tension-applying part may have a fourth part and a fifth part arranged in a pair with linear symmetry relative to the central part, the fourth part being disposed below the second part, and the fifth part being disposed below the third part.
[0010] <Structure (5)> In structure (1) or (2), the tension-imposing part can be provided by embroidering or attaching a cord.
[0011] <Structure (6)> In structure (1) or (2), the tension-applying part can be arranged in a straight line or a curve.
[0012] <Structure (7)> In structure (1) or (2), the tension-applying portion may be configured to apply stimulation to the back or sacral periphery of the wearer.
[0013] Invention Effects Because the wearable product of the present invention adopts the above-described structure, it can promote the body's self-regulation ability. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] The wearable article 1 of the present embodiment includes: a main body part 2, which is elastic and surrounds a body part of a wearer; and tension applying parts 5, which are disposed at predetermined positions of the main body part 2 and have lower elasticity than other parts of the main body part 2. A plurality of the tension applying parts 5 are provided, each of which is arranged as a directional strip shape without overlapping each other. The detailed description is given below.
[0040] <Application example to T-shirt> First, refer to Figures 1-4 to describe an example in which the wearable article 1 of the present embodiment is applied to T-shirts 10, 10A to 10I. Figure 1 is a schematic plan view showing the front surface 2a side and the back surface 2b side of the T-shirt 10. The T-shirt 10 has: a main body part 2 that surrounds the upper torso, which is a body part of the wearer; sleeve parts 3, 3 through which the left and right arms of the wearer pass; and a neck part 4 through which the head and neck of the wearer pass. The main body part 2 has a front body panel and a back body panel, and is sewn at the underarm portions to form a tubular shape. Figure 1 The upper side shows the front surface 2a side (chest side) of the T-shirt 10, and the lower side shows the back surface 2b side (back side) of the T-shirt 10. On the main body part 2 of the back body panel (back surface 2b side) of the T-shirt 10 serving as Figure 1 five tension applying parts 5 are provided, each of which is arranged radially from the central portion 20 without overlapping (without intersecting) each other. Specifically, the tension applying parts 5 provided on the T-shirt 10 have a first strip part 51, a second strip part 52, a third strip part 53, a fourth strip part 54, and a fifth strip part 55. The first strip part 51 is formed in a straight line along the central portion 20 of the main body part 2 of the T-shirt 10. The second strip part 52 and the third strip part 53 are arranged as a pair in line symmetry with respect to the central portion 20 (across the central portion 20). The fourth strip part 54 and the fifth strip part 55 are also arranged as a pair in line symmetry with respect to the central portion 20 (across the central portion 20). The fourth strip part 54 is disposed on the lower side of the second strip part 52, and the fifth strip part 55 is disposed on the lower side of the third strip part 53. The portions where there is no strip-shaped tension applying part 5 (places other than the tension applying parts 5), such as the approximate central portion of the tension applying parts 5, are all non-tension parts 50 that have not been subjected to any treatment. Therefore, the entire front body panel side of the main body part 2 of the T-shirt 10 is the non-tension part 50, and although reference signs are not marked in the drawing, the sleeve parts 3 are also the non-tension parts 50.
[0041] The tension applying parts 5 may also be disposed on the front body panel side of the T-shirt 10, but the inventors have found through various trials that the effect is better if the tension applying parts 5 are disposed at sites that should originally have high sensitivity but have dulled sensitivity due to factors such as aging or lack of exercise. For example, it is generally considered that the sensitivity of the body extremities or the back tends to dull with aging. Therefore, Figure 1The T-shirt 10 does not have any tension-applying portion 5 on the front 2a side, but only on the back 2b side. Furthermore, through various experiments, the inventors discovered that the tension-applying portion 5 can not only be a perfectly straight line, but also a curved shape that maintains a certain directionality (see...). Figure 2 (b) can also achieve sufficient effect. For example, if it is a wavy line or a complex serrated shape with vectors dispersed in multiple directions, the tension stimulation on the fascia will be dispersed, resulting in a significant reduction in the self-regulating effect that is the purpose of this invention. Therefore, the shape of the tension-imparting part 5 is preferably a straight line or a gentle curve, and it is desirable to maintain a shape with a single or nearly single-directional vector.
[0042] According to this embodiment of the T-shirt 10, by constructing a tension-applying part 5 at a predetermined location on the T-shirt 10, the body's inherent self-regulating function (the body's ability to naturally maintain balance) can be elicited. This invention was conceived by the inventor, inspired by the ancient Japanese practice of "Tasuki-gake" (sleeve binding), and focusing on fascia, often referred to as the "second sensory organ." Fascia contains numerous sensory sensors called proprioceptors, which are said to detect subtle changes in tension, pressure, vibration, etc. The human body possesses the ability to instantly perceive minute tension changes in fascia and adjust posture or movement. This invention aims to maximize the utilization of this ability and is based on theories and principles related to human body structure, such as "Fractal Theory," "Reflexology," "Tensegrity Theory," and "Mirroring Theory." "Fractal," also known as self-similar form, refers to the property of repeating common patterns in large and small structures; it refers to patterns with self-similar structures where parts and the whole form similar shapes. "Fractal theory" refers to the idea that stimulation of a specific area can have a ripple effect throughout the body, meaning that stimulation influences the body. For example, in reflexology, stimulating acupoints on the soles of the feet or palms can affect internal organs, which can be considered based on fractal theory. Furthermore, the "tension-holistic theory" posits that fascia supports the entire body while maintaining tension balance, thus local stimulation can spread throughout the body; this can also be seen as based on fractal theory. "Mirror image" refers to the long-range effect produced by the interaction of different parts of the body. For example, it is known that the sacrum and head, although geographically distant, interact like a mirror image. In other words, based on these theories and principles, even a small, direct or indirect tension stimulus can have an effect not only on the stimulated area but also throughout the entire body.
[0043] Based on the above ideas, the inventors experimented with various structures for the tension-imparting part 5, and found that if multiple parts are arranged radially without overlap, a self-regulating function can be achieved. Furthermore, the inventors confirmed through various experiments that the above effect remained unchanged regardless of whether ink was applied to the tension-imparting part 5 in an overlapping manner. It is preferable that there are three or more tension-imparting parts 5, with an odd number being better than an even number. Using five radially arranged parts will act on the wearer's fascia, maximizing the self-regulating effect based on the aforementioned overall tension theory. That is, as... Figure 1 The first to fifth sections 51 shown are all formed in a straight line. When the tension-imposing section 5, consisting of five sections, is arranged in a star shape similar to the head, arms, legs, and limbs of the body, the tension of the star shape enhances the awareness of the extremities and promotes the outward release of tension in the body. It can be said that this is an effective shape that increases the efficiency of the overall tension structure. Specifically, the first section 51, which forms along the center part 20 (the wearer's spine) of the body section 2, corresponds to the head; the second section 52, which slopes from the center part 20 toward the sleeve 3 (sloping along the wearer's shoulder blades), corresponds to the left arm; and the third section 53 corresponds to the right arm. In addition, the fourth section 54, which forms in pairs and symmetrically slopes toward the lower corner of the body section 2 across the center part 2, corresponds to the left leg; and the fifth section 55 corresponds to the right leg.
[0044] Wearable items 1 and T-shirt 10 according to this embodiment, simply by wearing them, can promote the body's self-regulation and release unnecessary muscle tension. As a result, support is no longer based on muscle strength but on the body's original structure, posture is corrected, and consequently, the continuous relaxation effect on easily tense areas produces a massage-like effect on the circulatory system, improving blood flow. Therefore, range of motion increases, flexibility improves, and the degree of muscle tension and relaxation is improved, leading to enhanced athletic performance. Furthermore, due to improved blood flow, it has an improving effect on lower back pain, shoulder stiffness, cold extremities, and neurological symptoms. The relaxation effect was also confirmed in the evaluation test, and all records in the exercise test showed improvement. The evaluation test will be described in detail later.
[0045] Furthermore, the wearable garment 1 and T-shirt 10 of this embodiment apply tension stimulation to the wearer's fascia through the tension-applying part 5, achieving the effect through the body's reflex action, unlike compression shirts or clothing with a taping function that strongly compress or restrict a part of the body. Therefore, even after prolonged wear, fatigue will not be felt, and the effect is not affected by the wearer's body shape or physique. Wearable garments printed with mineral powder ink may experience functional degradation due to ink peeling or washing, but the wearable garment 1 and T-shirt 10 of this embodiment, as long as they are equipped with the tension-applying part 5, can continue to exert their effects throughout their lifespan. In addition, no power supply is required, and if they are made of materials that can be machine washed, maintenance is easy, and the effect will not be diminished by washing. Furthermore, in the case of the T-shirt 10, the tension changes caused by gravity during wear and the friction caused by actions such as standing, sitting, and lying down easily generate an effect, so the aforementioned effects are also easily achieved in the wearable garment 1. Based on various attempts by the inventors, it has been confirmed that the wearable garment 1 and T-shirt 10 of this embodiment can maintain a certain aftereffect even after being worn and removed. This fact indicates that wearing the wearable garment 1 and T-shirt 10 improves the wearer's self-regulation ability, fundamentally improving the state of body balance, and this effect is not temporary but continuous.
[0046] The tension-applying part 5 is not particularly limited in structure as long as it is provided at a predetermined location on the main body 2 and its elasticity is less than that of other parts of the main body 2 (parts where the tension-applying part 5 is not provided). For example, embroidery can be applied, or the rope or thread can be cut into predetermined lengths and glued with tape, heat transfer printing, glue, etc., to prevent the rope or thread from moving. It can also be used as a tension-applying part 5 by using an embossing member that forms a raised or recessed tension-applying part 5 on the fabric of the T-shirt 10, similar to a stamp. In the case of embroidery, for example, embroidery thread of size 60 to 90 can be used, and embroidery can be done with a sewing machine needle of size 9 to 14. The embroidery thread is not particularly limited; rayon, acrylic, polyester, cupro fiber, cotton, silk, etc., can be used. The thickness of the embroidery area is set to 0.7 mm to 2 mm. Therefore, when using rope or thread, its thickness is about 0.7 mm to 2 mm, or thick tape (about 0.7 mm to 2 mm thick) can be applied. Furthermore, if printing can be applied in a manner similar to foaming rubber ink (foam printing) to create a thick printed portion with less elasticity than other areas, then the tension-imparting portion 5 can also be formed through printing. The tension-imparting portion 5 is not limited to a structure that protrudes from other areas; it can also be a concave structure relative to other areas. Evaluation tests conducted by the inventors have shown that as long as the tension-imparting portion 5 is a radial strip (line) with greater tension than other parts of the main body 2, it still has a certain effect even if there is a difference in effect, as long as it is not in direct contact with the wearer's skin. Therefore, the T-shirt 10 can be used as underwear or worn over underwear.
[0047] Figure 2 (a) ~ Figure 2 of (d), Figure 3 (a) ~ Figure 3 (c) Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 (b) shows a modified example of the tension-applying part 5 provided on T-shirts 10A to 10I. Furthermore, explanations of the structure and effects common to the embodiments described above will be omitted or simplified.
[0048] Figure 2 (a) ~ Figure 2 The variation shown in (d) is similar to the above embodiment in that it has a total of 5 tension-applying parts 5, but it differs from the above embodiment in that the tension-applying parts 5 are not necessarily arranged radially from the center part 20. The tension-applying parts 5 are not limited to the above example. Through various attempts, the inventors have confirmed that the above effect can be achieved even if they are not radial or linear.
[0049] Figure 2The difference between the T-shirt 10A shown in (a) is that the first stripe 51 is configured to be more... Figure 1 In the example shown, the second stripe 52 and the third stripe 53, which are arranged in pairs symmetrically with respect to the center portion 20, are positioned further below the wearer's armpit. Furthermore, the fourth stripe 54 and the fifth stripe 55 are formed approximately parallel to the center portion 20 and across it, which is another difference.
[0050] Compared to Figure 2 The tension-imparting part 5 in (a) is all linear. Figure 2 The difference in T-shirt 10B shown in (b) is that the second stripe 52 to the fifth stripe 55 are curved. Figure 2 The structure of the first stripe 51 to the third stripe 53 of the T-shirt 10C shown in (c) is the same as that of the T-shirt 10C shown in (c). Figure 1 The examples shown are the same, but Article 4, Section 54 and Article 5, Section 55 are different. Specifically, Figure 1 The example shown is a structure in which the gap between the fourth section 54 and the fifth section 55 gradually widens from top to bottom, while Figure 2 The difference in the example shown in (c) is that the interval between the fourth section 54 and the fifth section 55 gradually approaches (narrows) from top to bottom. Figure 2 In the T-shirt 10D shown in (d), the first stripe 51, the fourth stripe 54, and the fifth stripe 55 are all arranged in a generally parallel configuration. The first stripe 51 is positioned along the center portion 20, and the fourth stripe 54 and the fifth stripe 55 are positioned opposite each other across the center portion 20. The second stripe 52 and the third stripe 53 are positioned approximately orthogonal to the first stripe 51 and do not intersect with the first stripe 51.
[0051] Figure 3 (a) ~ Figure 3 Examples (c) differ from the embodiments described above in that they have a total of three tension-applying parts 5. The examples described above all illustrate examples with a total of five tension-applying parts 5, but are not limited to this. Through various attempts, the inventors have confirmed that the above-mentioned effect can be achieved as long as there are at least three parts. Furthermore, if there is only one tension-applying part 5, the effect on the whole body is limited, remaining only at the local stimulation level. If there are two tension-applying parts 5, tension balance cannot be achieved, remaining only at the unidirectional tension action, and the effect on the whole body cannot be confirmed.
[0052] Figure 3 (a) ~ Figure 3 The common feature of T-shirts 10E to 10G shown in (c) is that, as the structure of the first strip 51, they are all formed along the center part 20, and the second strip 52 and the third strip 53 are arranged in pairs symmetrically with respect to the center part 20, but the structures of the second strip 52 and the third strip 53 are different. Figure 3The second strip 52 and the third strip 53 of (a) are formed to gradually rise from the center part 20 toward the sleeve part 3. Figure 3 The second part 52 and the third part 53 of (b) are formed to extend approximately horizontally to each other. Figure 3 The second part 52 and the third part 53 of (c) are formed to gradually decrease downward from the central part 20 towards the armpit.
[0053] Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 (b) is that the tension-applying part 5 is arranged radially from the center of the back of the main body part 2, which is consistent with... Figure 1 Examples are common, but differ in number. While the effects differ, tension in part 5 can be achieved as follows: Figure 4 As shown in (a), there are a total of 4 items, or as shown in (a). Figure 4 A total of 6 examples are shown in (b). Evaluation tests for these examples were conducted as Test 2, details of which are described later.
[0054] <Other Application Examples> The inventor will Figure 1 The described implementation method was applied to wearable items 1 other than T-shirts, and it was found that it could also exert a self-regulating effect. Figures 5-7 Application examples are shown. It has been confirmed that in any application example, the tension-applying part 5 can be provided on the front 2a or back 2b of the main body portion surrounding the wearer's body, achieving the desired effect. Furthermore, explanations of the structure and effects common to the above embodiments will be omitted or simplified.
[0055] first, Figure 5 (a) is an example of applying this embodiment to the leggings 1A. In the case of the leggings 1A, the tension-applying part 5 can be provided in such a way that it can stimulate the sacrum S. Therefore, a first strip 51 is provided along the center portion 20 of the back of the body part 2 so that the first strip 51 runs along the sacrum S when the leggings 1A is worn. The structure of the other second to fifth strips 55 is the same as that of the body part 2. Figure 1 The examples are the same, so the explanation is omitted.
[0056] Figure 5 (b) is an example of applying this embodiment to sock 1B. When applied to sock 1B, a tension-applying part 5 can be provided on the front 2a of the body part 2, which is connected to the ankle portion on the instep side. In addition, the location of the tension-applying part 5 in sock 1B is not limited to the front 2a of sock 1B as shown in the figure; it can also be provided in contact with the sole of the foot or on the Achilles tendon side. Figure 6(a) is an example of applying this embodiment to glove 1C. When applied to glove 1C, it is preferable to provide the tension-applying part 5 on the back of the hand side, i.e., the front side (not shown) of the body part 2, but it may also be provided on the palm side. Figure 6 (b) is an example of applying this embodiment to the knitted cap 1D. When applied to the knitted cap 1D, the tension-applying part 5 can be provided on the front 2a of the main body 2 that contacts the forehead, or it can be provided on the inner surface of the main body 2 that directly contacts the forehead. In this way, the tension-applying part 5 is not visible when the knitted cap 1D is worn, does not hinder the overall design of the knitted cap 1D, and can improve the unique effects of this embodiment. Figure 6 (c) is an example of applying this embodiment to the abdominal support belt 1E. When applied to the abdominal support belt 1E, a tension-applying part 5 can be provided on the back side 2b of the main body part 2 that contacts the sacrum S. In the illustrated example, in addition to the tension-applying part 5, a position confirmation part 57 is also provided at the radial center portion. This is provided so that when wearing the abdominal support belt 1E, one can use their fingers to confirm whether the position confirmation part 57 is located at the center portion 20 on the waist / sacrum side. It is not a necessary structure, but it is more convenient if it is present. Figure 7 (a) is a variation of this embodiment applied to the leggings 1F. In this example, tension-applying portions 5 are provided on the front 2a side of the left and right thighs, but it is not limited to this example. Tension-applying portions 5 may also be provided on the shin side or calf side of the leg. Figure 7 (b) is an example of applying this embodiment to slippers 1G. It is not limited to the slip-on type shown in the illustration; it can also be a front-opening type, a heeled type, or a portable type. When applied to slippers 1G, the tension-applying part 5 can be provided on the front 2a that contacts the instep, as shown in the illustration, or it can be provided on the bottom side. Furthermore, although not shown, as an application example of wearable items 1, it can also be applied to jewelry such as rings or necklaces, and achieve the aforementioned effects. In the case of a ring, it is sufficient to provide the tension-applying part 5 on the inner side that contacts the fingers when worn; in the case of a necklace, it is sufficient to provide the tension-applying part 5 on the back side that contacts the chest.
[0057] <Evaluation Experiment> Next, we will describe various evaluation test examples conducted by the inventors in order to objectively evaluate the effect of the wearable product 1 of this embodiment.
[0058] <Test 1: Product Comparison> (Test Summary) Subjects: 22 men and women aged 27 to 53.
[0059] Test content: Wearing 3 types of T-shirts, various measurements were taken, including (1) punching power, (2) standing long jump, (3) upper body backward lean, (4) back muscle strength, and (5) seated forward bend.
[0060] The T-shirts used in the tests: Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and the Example were all products made of 100% cotton by GU Corporation.
[0061] Comparative Example 1: Use plain-colored products without embroidery or printing.
[0062] Comparative Example 2: such as Figure 4 As shown in (c), the product uses a strap with an X-shaped length of 29cm and a width of 1cm.
[0063] Example: Figure 1 As shown, five tension-applying sections 5 were applied via embroidery. The length dimensions of each tension-applying section 5 are as described below, and the width dimension is 3 mm. The first section 51 is 7.8 cm, the second section 52 and the third section 53 are 12.8 cm, and the fourth section 54 and the fifth section 55 are 22.8 cm. The radial center section 50a has a diameter of approximately 4 cm. To conduct blind testing that concealed the treatment applied to the subjects, printing was applied to the tension-applying sections 5 of the test T-shirt. In all tests, including Test 1, subjects were completely kept in the dark about the functionality of the T-shirt. The same structure was also used in other test embodiments.
[0064] Test Procedure: First, wear the T-shirt of Comparative Example 1 and perform the measurements (1) to (5) above in sequence. In (1), wear gloves and measure 3 times, recording the highest value. In (2), jump from the starting line with both feet and measure 2 times at the heel position of the landing foot, recording the highest value. In (3), lean back from a prone position and measure the chin position once. In (4), adjust the grip position to a slightly forward tilted position, separate the hand from the thigh during measurement, and measure once. In (5), keep the pelvis, back, and shoulder blades close to the wall, straighten the elbow and touch the fingertips to the third line of the measuring device, and measure once. After removing the T-shirt of Comparative Example 1, perform three forceful hand movements with both hands, namely making a fist (clenching a fist), making a scissor (V-sign), and making an open paper gesture (hereinafter referred to as "hand movements"). After resetting the posture, body structure, circulation, and other physical states adjusted by the T-shirt of the embodiment (hereinafter referred to as "reset"), put on the T-shirt of Comparative Example 2 and perform various measurements using the same method as described above. After removing the T-shirt of Comparative Example 2, perform the above "hand movements" three times again to "reset" the body state. Then, put on the T-shirt of the embodiment and perform various measurements using the same method as described above.
[0065] (Test Results and Assessment) Test results are as follows Figure 8The table shows the results. The higher proportion of subjects in the calculation examples, approximately 70%, showed numerical improvements in all items (1) to (5) compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2. Five out of 22 subjects showed numerical improvements in all items, with subjects No. 1-5 showing significant improvements in all items. In the punching power measurement (1), subjects No. 1-12 improved by 12 kg. In the standing long jump (2), subjects No. 1-14 and No. 1-17 improved by 20 cm. In the upper body backward lean (3), subjects No. 1-19 showed an improvement of 10.6 cm. In the back muscle strength measurement (4), subjects No. 1-4 showed an improvement of 18 kg, and subjects No. 1-20 showed an improvement of 13 kg. In the comparison between Comparative Example 2 and the examples, no subject showed a better result in Comparative Example 2 than in the examples. For example, subjects No. 1-3 and No. 1-6 recorded significant improvements in all items compared to Comparative Example 2. The average improvement rate of the higher proportion of the embodiment was 69%. While Comparative Example 2 aimed to improve local performance by fixing specific areas or enhancing awareness through overlapping straps, the results were only slightly better than Comparative Example 1 in some measurements. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the embodiment, simply by wearing it, could improve all items such as punching power, jumping ability, back muscle strength, and flexibility.
[0066] <Test 2: Comparison of Number of Items> (Test Summary) Subjects: 22 men and women aged 29 to 51.
[0067] Test content: Wearing 3 types of T-shirts, various measurements were taken, including (1) punching power, (2) standing long jump, (3) upper body backward lean, (4) back muscle strength, and (5) seated forward bend.
[0068] The T-shirts used in the tests: Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and the Example were all products made of 100% cotton by GU Corporation.
[0069] Comparative Example 1: such as Figure 4 As shown in (a), four tension-applying sections 5 are applied by embroidery. The length of the first section 51 to the fourth section 54 is 12.8 cm, and the width is 3 mm.
[0070] Comparative Example 2: such as Figure 4 As shown in (b), six tension-applying sections 5 are applied by embroidery. The length of the first section 51 to the sixth section 56 is 12.8 cm, and the width is 3 mm.
[0071] Example: Using a product with the same structure as Test 1.
[0072] Test Procedure: First, wear the T-shirt of Comparative Example 1 and perform the measurements (1) to (5) above in sequence. In (1), wear gloves and measure 3 times, recording the highest value. In (2), jump from the starting line with both feet and measure 2 times at the heel position of the landing foot, recording the highest value. In (3), lean back from a prone position and measure the chin position once. In (4), adjust the grip position to a slightly forward tilted position, separate the hand from the thigh during measurement, and measure once. In (5), keep the pelvis, back, and shoulder blades close to the wall, straighten the elbow and touch the fingertips to the third line of the measuring device, and measure once. Remove the T-shirt of Comparative Example 1, perform the above hand movements 3 times with force, reset, and wear the T-shirt of Comparative Example 2, performing various measurements in the same manner as above. Remove the T-shirt from Comparative Example 2, and perform the above hand movements three more times with force. After resetting, put on the T-shirt from the embodiment, rest for 10 minutes, and then perform various measurements using the same procedure as described above. Additionally, the testing order was changed for subjects No. 2-19 and later.
[0073] (Test Results and Assessment) Test results are as follows Figure 9 The results of various measurements show that the results of the embodiment demonstrate the best effect. However, this does not mean that the results of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are bad, with an average improvement rate of 49%. Based on this, Comparative Example 1 showed an average decrease of 20% compared to the embodiment, and Comparative Example 2 showed an average decrease of 10% compared to the embodiment. Therefore, it can be seen that setting the tension-applying part 5 to 5 is most ideal, setting the tension-applying part 5 to 4 is also possible, but 6 parts are better than 4. In addition, considering the persistence of the effect (aftereffect), the measurement order was changed, but it was clear that the effect of the embodiment was higher. In particular, in terms of improving flexibility and muscle strength, it showed a higher effect compared to Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2.
[0074] <Test 3: Joint Range of Motion Measurement Test> (Test Summary) Subjects: 23 men and women aged 20 to 64.
[0075] Test content: Wearing two types of T-shirts, a total of 20 items were measured, including the left and right sides, covering (1) shoulder flexion, (2) shoulder extension, (3) hip flexion, (4) hip extension, (5) trunk flexion, (6) trunk extension, (7) trunk rotation, (8) trunk lateral flexion, (9) neck flexion, (10) neck extension, (11) neck rotation, and (12) neck lateral flexion. The measurement was performed using a digital joint range of motion measuring instrument (Ributo Co., Ltd., model DG2019).
[0076] T-shirts used in the test: Both the comparative and example T-shirts used were 100% cotton products manufactured by GU Corporation.
[0077] Comparative example: Use the same unembroidered, unprinted solid color product as Test 1.
[0078] Example: Using a product with the same structure as Test 1.
[0079] Test Procedure: First, wearing the comparative example T-shirt and resting for 10 minutes, the range of motion of the joints was measured. To prevent compensation through other joints during the measurement of each joint, the body was stabilized using a wall or chair. Next, wearing the embodiment T-shirt and resting for 10 minutes, the range of motion of the joints was measured.
[0080] (Test Results and Assessment) Test results are as follows Figure 10 and Figure 11 The results of various range of motion measurements are shown in the table. Trunk rotation improved by 15%, hip flexion by 12%, with an average improvement rate of 83%. This demonstrates the remarkable result that almost everyone experienced an improvement in range of motion simply by wearing the T-shirt described in this example. Among the subjects, the 64-year-old women (subjects No. 3-9) showed significant improvements in all measurements. Furthermore, an interesting result is that the higher the proportion of subjects with higher values, the greater the improvement. Consequently, significant improvements were observed in the shoulder and hip joints, which are the centers of motion, leading to the expectation of improved movement efficiency.
[0081] <Test 4: Thermal Imaging Measurement Test> (Test Summary) Subjects: 32 men and women aged 20 to 64.
[0082] Test Procedure: After wearing two types of T-shirts, a thermal imager (HIKMICRO, model HM-TJ12-3ARF-MINI2V2) was used to measure the temperature changes throughout the body. The distance was set to 2 meters, and measurements were taken of the subject's entire body (front and back). Subjects No. 4-1 to No. 4-23 underwent tests focusing on temperature changes before and after wearing the T-shirts. Subjects No. 4-24 to No. 4-32 underwent five measurements, with a 10-minute rest period between measurements, before the next measurement was taken, focusing on the temperature changes at the first and fifth measurements. Subjects were prohibited from eating or drinking during the test and remained seated and quiet.
[0083] The T-shirt used in the test was a 100% cotton product manufactured by GU Corporation. The example used a product with the same tension-imposing part 5 as in test 1.
[0084] Test Procedure: In the tests conducted on subjects No. 4-1 to No. 4-23, subjects were invited to enter the test room and wait quietly for 20 minutes. Measurements were then taken before wearing the T-shirt. Next, subjects wore the T-shirt of the embodiment, rested quietly for 10 minutes, and measurements were taken after wearing it. In the tests conducted on subjects No. 4-24 to No. 4-32, subjects were invited to enter the test room and wait quietly for 20 minutes. They then wore the T-shirt of the embodiment, rested quietly for 10 minutes, and took their first measurement. Afterward, while still wearing the T-shirt of the embodiment, subjects rested quietly for 10 minutes before taking measurements. This process was repeated for a total of 5 measurements.
[0085] (Test Results and Assessment) Test results are as follows Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown in the table. Figure 12 In tests focusing on temperature changes before and after wearing the garment, the fingertips showed an average increase of 1.4°C, the abdomen an average increase of 1.6°C, and the back, waist, and shoulders an average increase of 2.1–2.2°C. Figure 13 In the first and fifth temperature change tests, the fingertips showed an average increase of 1.6°C, the abdomen an average increase of 1.7°C, and the back, waist, and shoulders an average increase of 2.2–2.4°C, while the toes showed an average increase of 2.2°C. It can be inferred that this temperature increase is due to the tension applied to the T-shirt in this embodiment stimulating the fascia, thus improving blood circulation. Therefore, it is expected to alleviate cold extremities and stiff muscles, confirming the improved blood flow to the extremities. In particular, a temperature increase of more than 1.6°C in sensitive areas such as the fingertips and toes should provide a feeling of warmth beyond the actual temperature. In fact, many participants reported experiencing an improvement in their cold extremities.
[0086] <Test 5: Running Test> (Test Summary) Subjects: Six male track and field athletes aged 18 to 39.
[0087] Test content: Wearing two different T-shirts, participants ran 50m, 200m, and 400m, and their times were measured. They were then asked to describe their feelings while running. A stopwatch (CASIO model HS-3C-8AJH) was used for measurement, and the running distance was close to the distance of each athlete's specialty event.
[0088] T-shirts used in the test: Both the comparative and example T-shirts used were 100% cotton products manufactured by GU Corporation.
[0089] Comparative example: Use the same unembroidered, unprinted solid color product as Test 1.
[0090] Example: Using a product with the same structure as Test 1.
[0091] Test Procedure: First, measurements were taken while wearing the comparative example T-shirt. After a full rest, measurements were taken while wearing the embodiment T-shirt. For multiple measurements, the following procedure was repeated: the embodiment T-shirt was removed, and the aforementioned "hand movements" were performed forcefully with both hands three times. After the aforementioned "reset," measurements were taken again while wearing the comparative example T-shirt.
[0092] (Test Results and Assessment) Test results are as follows Figure 14 and Figure 15 The table is shown. Figure 14 The results and feedback of three track and field athletes' 50m sprints are displayed. Two of the three athletes showed a noticeable improvement in their times, and these two athletes provided positive feedback regarding the perceived difference. Figure 15 The results and feedback from four separate 400m and 200m runs are presented. Three out of three participants showed a noticeable time reduction, and all participants reported positive feedback indicating a perceived difference. These results confirm that applying tension to the fascia via the tension-inducing portion 5 of the T-shirt in this embodiment promotes overall tension relief, leading to improved movement efficiency and athletic performance. Furthermore, participant No. 5-2 showed improved speed maintenance at the finish line, confirming fatigue reduction and improved endurance. Moreover, participants No. 5-5 showed a noticeable reduction in running time after wearing the T-shirt in this embodiment, and further reductions were achieved when measuring while wearing the T-shirt in this embodiment. This indicates that the T-shirt in this embodiment has a lingering effect even after removal.
[0093] <Test 6: Posture Change Test> (Test Summary) Subjects: 8 men and women aged 36 to 48.
[0094] Test content: Wearing two different T-shirts, photos were taken using a smartphone (Samsung, model SCG07). The changes in pose were evaluated using an app (Naradewa, Inc., product name: Grid Line Photography App Professional) that adds grid lines to the photos. A tripod was used for stabilization to prevent deviations in the photographer's distance and position.
[0095] T-shirts used in the test: Both the comparative and example T-shirts used were 100% cotton products manufactured by GU Corporation.
[0096] Comparative example: Use the same unembroidered, unprinted solid color product as Test 1.
[0097] Example: Using a product with the same structure as Test 1.
[0098] Test Procedure: First, wearing the comparative example T-shirt, take full-body photos from the front, back, and side while standing. Then, wearing the example example T-shirt, allow approximately 10 minutes for body adaptation before taking photos.
[0099] (Test Results and Assessment) Test results are displayed along with photos. Figure 16 and Figure 23 The table shows the effects of the wearable embodiment product on the wearer's posture, including center of gravity position, muscle balance, skeletal structure, and typical examples of poor posture (straight neck, backward bending, hunched shoulders, etc.), based on the captured image data. It can be said that over 80% of the subjects experienced a noticeable improvement in posture, particularly in the stability of the center of gravity, the tightening effect on the entire back, and the improvement in relaxed posture. The effect of tension stimulation on the back by the tension-applying part 5 was confirmed to reposition the scapula to the correct position and improve overall trunk safety. This posture improvement and correction effect helps to address problems caused by desk work and excessive smartphone use. Subject No. 6-1, when wearing the comparative example T-shirt, exhibited a significant forward lean and raised right shoulder, disrupting body balance. However, by simply wearing the T-shirt of the embodiment, the shoulder height became equal on both sides, the scapula stabilized, the entire body was lifted upward, and the center of gravity was in a good central position. Subjects No. 6-3 exhibited significant hunchback and scapular stiffness when wearing the comparative example T-shirt, with visibly tense lower back. However, simply by wearing the example T-shirt, their scapular position adjusted, their chest naturally opened, and their lower back tension was relieved. Their overall posture improved to a more relaxed state. Subjects No. 6-7, when wearing the comparative example T-shirt, showed forward lean and stiffness in their left scapula. However, simply by wearing the example T-shirt, their center of gravity and head position shifted backward, reducing scapular stiffness and relaxing their back, resulting in a noticeable improvement in posture. This is believed to be related to the elimination of shoulder stiffness.
[0100] <Test 7: Running Test with Socks and Leggings> (Test Summary) Subjects: Six men aged 24 to 37, primarily with track and field experience.
[0101] Test content: After wearing socks and tights, run 50m and measure the time. A stopwatch (CASIO, model HS-3C-8AJH) was used by two people during the measurement. A blind test was conducted on the subjects without disclosing the order in which the socks and tights were worn. The test was performed three times in the order of comparative example → implementation example → comparative example. The aftereffect was verified by testing the comparative example again after the implementation example.
[0102] The socks used in the test: Both the comparative and example examples used the product of men's short socks (8439) manufactured by Daiso Sangyo Co., Ltd., which is composed of 73% polyester, 22% cotton, 3% rayon, and 2% polyurethane.
[0103] The leggings used in the test: Both the comparative and example samples used products manufactured by LZLLZQ Company, which are 95% polyester and 5% polyurethane.
[0104] Comparative example: Use plain-colored products without embroidery or printing.
[0105] Example: Using applied Figure 5 (a) and Figure 5 The tension of the stockings and leggings in part 5 is given by the form shown in (b).
[0106] Test Procedure: First, measurements were taken while wearing the comparative example socks and leggings. Afterward, the user rested fully and then measured again while wearing the embodiment's socks and leggings. Next, the user removed the embodiment's socks and leggings, vigorously performed the aforementioned hand movements three times, and after resetting, measured again while wearing the comparative example's socks and leggings.
[0107] (Test Results and Assessment) Test results are as follows Figure 24 As shown in the table, 3 out of 6 participants showed a significant reduction in time. This result confirms that by applying tension stimulation to the fascia through the tension-imposing part 5 of the socks and leggings in this embodiment, overall tension is relieved, leading to improved movement efficiency and athletic performance. Furthermore, in subjects No. 7-2 and No. 7-5, the second measurement of the comparative examples showed a noticeable reduction in time compared to the first measurement. This indicates a lingering effect even after removing the socks and leggings of this embodiment. Further results from tests 5 and 7 show that by using the T-shirt, socks, and leggings of this embodiment together, the overall tension effect is further enhanced, potentially impacting a wider range of body areas.
[0108] In addition, although not shown in the figure, the inventor has provided the tension-applying part 5 with the structure shown in the attached figure on the tights 1A ( Figure 5 (a) of, socks 1B ( Figure 5 (b) of), Gloves 1C ( Figure 6 (a) ), Knitted hat 1D ( Figure 6Regarding (b), the same measuring instruments were used in all tests, and the same range of motion measurement test as in Test 3, the same thermal imaging temperature change test as in Test 4, and the same posture change test as in Test 6 were performed. In addition to the above tests, tests were also conducted where all wearable items 1A to 1D were worn simultaneously for evaluation. Through various experiments, in these evaluation tests, similar to the T-shirt, even better effects were confirmed depending on the item. The following describes the experimental results and overall assessment of subjects who demonstrated particularly noteworthy effects.
[0109] <Leggings> The compression pants used: The comparative and example examples used the same products as in test 7. In the compression pants individual item test, the 39-year-old male experienced a 3°C increase in waist temperature, an 18°C increase in hip joint range of motion, a 2°C increase in shoulder temperature, and a 9°C increase in shoulder joint range of motion. In addition to improved hip flexibility, the shoulder range of motion was improved, overall body movements became smoother, and the comfort of daily activities was significantly enhanced.
[0110] <Overall Assessment> Although leggings are worn on the lower body, they also affect the opening of the shoulders and chest, thus improving breathing depth. The average body temperature increased by 1.8°C, confirming the activation of systemic circulation beyond local effects. This is believed to be related to pelvic stability leading to improved posture and natural chest opening.
[0111] Socks Socks used: The same products as in Test 7 were used in both the comparative and example tests. In the sock-only test, the 41-year-old male showed a 4.2°C increase in instep temperature and a +12° increase in hip joint range of motion, and a 1.6°C increase in shoulder temperature and an +8° increase in shoulder joint range of motion. This suggests that the effects of the foot extend to the upper body. In particular, it confirmed improved stability during walking and reduced shoulder tension.
[0112] <Overall Assessment> A 1.5°C increase in average body temperature significantly confirmed the relief of cold extremities. Many participants showed improved knee stability and a naturally wider stride after wearing socks. Consequently, overall balance was enhanced, leading to increased stability while standing. This also confirmed the correlation between foot balance and improved upper body flexibility.
[0113] <gloves> Gloves used: Both the comparative and example gloves used 100% nylon products manufactured by Takeda Corporation. In individual glove tests, the temperature of the back of a 34-year-old woman's hand increased by 2.0°C, and her shoulder range of motion increased by +12°. Furthermore, the head temperature increased by 1.8°C, and the neck rotation increased by +9°, thus confirming that wearing gloves alone affects blood flow and the nervous system throughout the body.
[0114] <Overall Assessment> Gloves are generally thought to affect the hands or arms, but it was found that they affect not only the shoulders but also the pelvis and lower body mobility. Temperature changes were more pronounced on the outer periphery of the back of the hand than on the palm. The increased shoulder temperature showed a tendency to concentrate on the lateral aspect of the scapula rather than the central deltoid. One subject experienced a +6° hip elevation, suggesting that stimulation of the hands may have influenced pelvic movement via the spine. Furthermore, the average shoulder range of motion increased by +10°, confirming increased scapular freedom. This confirms a strengthened motor chain from the shoulder to the scapula, and subsequently to the trunk.
[0115] <Knitted Hat> The knitted caps used: Both the comparative and example caps used were manufactured by Daiso Sangyo Co., Ltd., and contained 52% acrylic, 45% polyester, 2% nylon, and 1% polyurethane. In the individual knitted cap test, the neck temperature of a 57-year-old male increased by 2.5°C, and the range of motion of neck rotation increased by +10°. In addition, the back of the hand temperature increased by 1.8°C, and the range of motion of the shoulder joint increased by +7°, suggesting that the effects on the head involve blood flow to the extremities.
[0116] <Overall Assessment> Wearing the knitted hat resulted in an average increase of 2.3°C in head temperature. Although the tension-enhancing part 5 is closest to the forehead, improved blood flow from the back of the head to the neck was also observed. The average overall body temperature increased by 1.2°C, confirming a positive effect on blood circulation in the trunk and extremities, not just in localized areas. Head position stabilized, and the neck angle improved to a natural position, with a significant correction to the forward-leaning posture. The position of the scapula was also adjusted, confirming the effect of chest opening and deeper breathing due to the backward pull of the shoulders. Furthermore, the increased temperature in the lower back stabilized the lower body, thus regulating overall balance.
[0117] Simultaneous Wearing Test Wearing the aforementioned leggings 1A, socks 1B, gloves 1C, and knitted hat 1D, tests 3, 4, and 6 were conducted. The 25-year-old male showed a 3.1°C increase in overall body temperature and a +19° increase in hip joint range of motion. In particular, trunk stability improved, shoulder and pelvic positions were adjusted, and balance during walking was significantly improved. Furthermore, neck rotation range of motion increased by +11°, and shoulder and neck tension was relieved.
[0118] <Overall Assessment> Wearing the garments simultaneously resulted in a more even increase in body temperature, with an average increase of 2.8°C. This temperature change surpasses the effect of wearing the garments individually. Improved blood flow was observed in the ankles, sacrum, upper scapula, and back of the head, demonstrating an overall improved circulation. Furthermore, the range of motion was enhanced, with a +15° increase in shoulder joint range of motion, an +18° increase in hip joint range of motion, and a +12° increase in neck rotation – all results exceeding those of wearing the garments individually. Additionally, it was confirmed that postural stability while standing was maximized, making it easier to maintain a natural, effortless posture.
[0119] The wearable garment 1 in this embodiment is not limited to the wearable garment and its structure and design shown in the figure. For example, a T-shirt can be used for long sleeves or three-quarter sleeves, and the collar 4 of the T-shirt 10 is not limited to... Figure 1 The round neck shown can undoubtedly be adapted to any style, such as a V-neck or U-neck. Tension-reducing parts 5 can also be provided at the sleeve 3. Simply adjust... Figure 1 The example can be applied to various tops such as women's shirts, collared shirts, hoodies, and polo shirts. Just adjust... Figure 5 The example in (a) can be applied to all kinds of bottoms, such as pants, skirts, culottes, and shorts. Just adjust... Figure 6 Example (b) can be applied to various headwear such as headbands, brimmed hats, and helmets (in which case the tension-applying part 5 can be provided on the inner lining (back) of the helmet). For example, in the case of headwear such as hats, the tension-applying part 5 can be provided on the top or side of the head. The material of the wearable item 1 can be a regenerated fiber such as rayon or cupro fiber, a semi-synthetic fiber or synthetic fiber such as nylon or acetate fiber, a natural fiber such as cotton, linen, silk, or wool, or artificial leather or natural leather. In the case of knitted or woven fabrics, there are no particular limitations on the weaving or weaving methods. The design and shape of the wearable item 1 are not limited to the illustration. It can be designed so that the tension-applying part 5 is not conspicuous, or it can be designed to utilize the structure of the radially applied tension-applying part 5. Furthermore, regarding each tension-applying part 5, it can be a straight line as illustrated, or a curved line as illustrated. Furthermore, although examples of tension-applying parts 5 being provided on the front 2a or back 2b of the main body 2 have been given, depending on the wearable garment 1, as described above, it may also be on the surface, inner surface or side surface, and the location of tension-applying parts 5 is not limited to the examples.
[0120] The wearable item 1 of this embodiment is suitable for wearing in any occasion, whether as casual wear, formal wear, or office attire. In particular, it can improve performance and reduce fatigue when used in sportswear, nursing, childcare, transportation, construction, restaurant staff, hotel employees, cleaning staff, school uniforms, and gymnastics uniforms. Furthermore, in addition to the above, this embodiment can also be applied to the back of judo or karate uniforms, the wrist area or back of the hand of boxing gloves, and shoe insoles or soles. It can also be used as a brace for the knees, elbows, and waist, or as a wristband. In the case of a knee brace, various experiments by the inventors have confirmed that it is effective at the angle of the knee joint and the middle of the patella. However, the position of the tension-applying part 5 does not need to be strictly limited; various experiments by the inventors have confirmed that even when worn in a slightly off-center position, it can exert a self-regulating effect through the aforementioned "fractal theory."
