Korean startup Wave in the field of sports technology has created kinesiology taping wear, a first of its kind in the world. It has labeled the range as Wave Wear, apparel that gives you the best endurance performance helped by kinesiology taping compression wear.
WaveWear, The Startup
The company was launched to create daily high-performance athletic wear using bio silicone and science. It was started in 2010, and now it aims to reach the global top 10 sports apparel market.
WaveWear, how is it different from other sports clothing?
The WaveWear has the kinesiology taping effect, which comes from a bio-adhesive silicone interlocked into the fabric. It has the exclusive BWAS™ Technology (Bio Waved Adhesive Technology), which is economical and environmentally friendly. The silicone interwoven into the fabric is non-toxic, retains its adhesiveness when dry, leaves no residue and is most important; it is elastic.
But, what is kinesiology taping?
This is mainly used by athletes and in physical therapy for different purposes such as pain reduction, correction of posture, prevention of injury, and many others. An athletic tape (compression tape) is applied in certain areas to prevent sprain and muscle fatigue to prevent injury and reduce the burden on muscles and joints.
Unlike traditional compression tape, kinesiology tape is more elastic, and it has a wave-shaped adhesive underneath that supports muscles and joints.
What makes kinesiology taping in WaveWear unique?
The BWAS™ Technology aligns and adheres to skin closely, and it mimics the effects created by traditional kinesiology taping. Even with the compression, the blood flow remains optimized, and the muscle vibration is minimized. This results in the lowering of muscle fatigue to the extent of 35% as compared to normal compression wear.
WaveWear Range
The company started making sleeves for different body parts – calf sleeves, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, and a forearm sleeve. It has now expanded into apparel – tops, and bottoms for both men and women.
