Under Armour® uses "Strategic Compression" as the engineering platform for all the RECHARGE™ compression products. That means tweaking fabric composition, garment construction and the degree and placement of compression strategically on the body to maximise the full effect of compression for recovery.
A superbly well styled and striking Theraputic Compression Top from the RECHARGE™ range constructed using HeatGear® fabrication for rapid moisture wicking and heat eradication with a fabric mix of Polyester (81%) & Elastine (19%), the RECHARGE™ brand is a marvel of technical fabric engineering and fully embraces the known benefits of Athletic Post Exertion Muscle Compression, to the full. A Flatlock Seam construction ensures there is no seam abrasion dispite wearing the garment for extended periods.
If it's compression for gameday, it's built one way. If it's a women's training piece versus a men's training piece, they're built differently, strategically. A single type of compression doesn't answer every athlete's needs. With RECHARGE™, the end purpose is fixing any stress or damage, helping an athlete get back to full strength faster after experiencing muscle distress.
This concept first came from looking at back support that is used when lifting, used by weight lifters to home removals. The braces they wear are specifically aimed towards the lower lumbar region of the back and primarily work by compressing that area, adding more support by doing this. This helps the muscles hold the lumbar region of the back in place.
The under armour would provide a start to making the back support more discrete by making it a base layer that would be worn under normal clothing. By using materials that have better compression and using them around the lumbar region. This would work similar the support that weight lifters use.
