CAPE Bionics have revolutionised sports compression by providing custom fit medical grade compression. CAPE garments are sized to each individual based on a 3D scan ensuring perfect fit and optimal compression for every player on the team. CAPE is the compression brand of choice for many professional sports teams around
Physiological and recovery demands of NBA competition The sport of basketball involves repeated bouts of high intensity exercise with explosive activity such as sprints, jumps, accelerations, decelerations, and rapid change of direction (Calleja-Gonzalez et al., 2016). The NBA is considered the highest level of basketball performance globally. NBA players are
CAPE are more than just another compression brand. CAPE garments are medical grade compression garments custom fitted to each individual based on a 3D scan. This ensures that elite athletes are provided with professional compression garments that actually work! CAPE Bionics Other compression brands Medical grade compression – TGA class
Compression garments have been widely used by soccer players for many years. We take a look into the demands of the game, competition schedules and how compression garments can assist soccer players with performance, recovery, and busy travel schedules. Demands of professional soccer The physiological demands of a professional soccer
Compression garments work but only if they fit perfectly and apply the correct compression regime. Research has shown that off the shelf compression garments provide variable levels of compression and inconsistent benefits (Hill et al., 2015). Custom fit is the only way to ensure that each athlete receives accurate compression
In our previous blogs we’ve introduced a new world of custom fit compression, highlighting differences between custom fit and standard sized compression garments in terms of the level of compression applied (Hill et al., 2015), and the proven recovery benefits of custom fit compared to off the shelf compression garments
Research has shown that custom fit compression results in faster recovery than standard sized (off the shelf) compression garments (Brown et al., 2022a). Why? For compression garments to work they must fit correctly and have the correct amount of pressure applied. Custom fit based on a 3D scan, is the
Compression works, but only if garments fit correctly and apply optimal compression regimes. Introducing custom fit compression, the new world of medical grade compression for elite athletes with proven benefits! If you think compression doesn’t work, then you’re thinking about standard sized (off the shelf) compression garments. These garments are
Inflatable compression boots and arm sleeves have become a popular tool amongst athletes for improving recovery but what does the science tell us about their effectiveness? The use of compression originated in the medical industry as a way of treating burns and vascular conditions. Due to the associated physiological benefits
Research into the effectiveness of compression garments has focused largely on the impact on athlete recovery. Both objective and subjective markers have been used in research and practice to determine the recovery status of an athlete. Objective markers may be performance markers, physiological markers or biochemical markers, whereas subjective markers
