Been reading a little more.. Ver facinating concept.. cool idea..

I am certainly far from convinced though..

"We have created our new garments to wrap key muscle groups. Muscle wrapping works to reduce muscle movement and vibration resulting in reduced soft tissue damage. Soreness (DOMS – delayed onset muscle soreness) is reduced, recovery times are accelerated and muscle injury risk is reduced."

This make some sense to me. I'm no expert here but it makes sense that support the system and taking out vibration will minimize the trauma on the soft tissue..

But I see a problem with that..

How does the soft tissue strengthen? How will it hold up in competition? When the real stress is put on it? i could see a swimmer wearing when running... but lets say a runner wore it for training and ran without... does anyone else see a possible problem here?

Some of the same ideas with pumping blood... so in training you get help with the circulation and in competition you don't??

I could be wrong but it doesn't sound like a good idea to me...

Now time and place usage.. teams with big bucks using here and there at specific times for specific reasons...there may be applicational use there but as something to train in... I'm not convinced..

any ideas? anyone know more?
