Compression in a competition suit is associated with increased support, efficiency and power, but high compression can have a restricting effect on movement. The swimmer in motion is also a dynamic form with complex requirements for support and compression. How can you get more of the benefits of compression, without its drawbacks? Squeezing the swimmer harder will not help! To deliver a breakthrough solution to the compression challenge, arena has incorporated carbon fibre into the weave of the POWERSKIN Carbon Pro fabric. Known for its unique structural and mechanical properties, the carbon fibre locks down when and where a critical stretch level is reached, while retaining the suit’s elasticity. This delivers a ramp-up in compression on those specific overextended zones, increasing support and control where and when they are needed without detracting from the swimmer’s mobility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Layered Benefits \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompetition swimsuits have traditionally compromised between compression (to achieve optimum muscle power) and optimum fit and comfort (for freedom of movement). A tight-fitting garment provides greater muscle compression but loses freedom of movement, with the converse being true for a loose-fitting garment. Now, with the Arena Carbon-Pro, this kind of compromise is a thing of the past. The Carbon-Pro offers both maximum muscle compression AND total freedom of movement, thanks to the unique properties of its carbon-based fabric. Not only that, the benefits kick in from the moment you pull on the suit, and last until you touch the wall at the end of your race.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore the Race \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMechanical resistance and durability – able to withstand more handling and stretch with less chance of tearing or surface damage when putting it on\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the Blocks \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMechanical resistance and durability – endures stretch while remaining comfortable against the skin Intelligent compression – maximum support and control during the crouch and dive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the Water \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntelligent Compression – carbon thread ‘locks down’ on over-extended zones, increasing support and control where and when it’s needed Power return – strategic placement and construction of elasticized bonding tape delivers added power on kicks and turns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowerskin Carbon-Pro: No Compromise \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Compression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stiff, strong carbon fibres combined with high-stretch elastomer yarns in a woven construction create a ‘lock-out’ effect. These fibres lock down when a critical stretch level is reached, much like a car’s seat belt is locked when the vehicle experiences a high impact. With a swimsuit, the lock down of the carbon fibres maximizes compression on over-extended zones, increasing support and control where it’s needed and when it’s needed. At the same time, the stretch fabric remains comfortable without compromising the swimmer’s mobility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Return:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strategic placement of elastic bonding tape on the inside of the legs and the gluteal muscles delivers added power through a “spring back” action on each dive, kick, and turn.
