AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing running wear does not effectively support the pelvis during running, particularly when wearing thick-soled shoes, leading to inefficient energy consumption and muscle vibrations.

Method used

A running wear design featuring tights with two types of fabrics with different elasticity and silicone prints, combined with an elastic belt, to stabilize the pelvis and reduce muscle vibrations.

Benefits of technology

The design enhances running performance by maintaining an ideal pelvic position, reducing energy expenditure, and minimizing muscle vibrations, especially when wearing thick-soled shoes.

Abstract

To provide apparel that can improve performance during running. [Solution] The garment comprises tights that cover the waist, buttocks, lower abdomen, and thighs, while exposing the kneecaps and lower legs, and an elastic belt. The tights have a first fabric that continuously covers from one anterior thigh to the other anterior thigh through a portion of the lower abdomen, and a second fabric that has higher elasticity than the first fabric. The tights are coated with a silicone print containing silicone resin. The silicone print includes a first silicone print positioned to extend along the gluteal crease, a second silicone print positioned closer to the hem than the first silicone print and extending towards the hem on the posterior thigh, and then extending towards the lateral thigh, and a third silicone print positioned closer to the hem than the first silicone print and extending towards the hem on the posterior thigh, and then extending towards the medial thigh.
