New suit for athletes offers improved energy output and muscle management

In controlled laboratory tests conducted together with the University of Calgary, an average 5.3% improvement in energy output and 1.1% faster sprint time was measured over 30 metres. But most importantly, the testers registered a 1.3% reduction in oxygen consumption on test subjects wearing the new suit. A clear indication that the onset of fatigue is delayed.

With its shaped, three-dimensional engineering, the adidas Clima TechFit suit fits like a second skin, helping muscles work more powerfully and efficiently while maintaining your body at the optimum temperature using the Clima365 system and Powerweb technology.

Clima365 system: Its objective is to provide athletes with the optimal comfort and climate solution using the latest technologies.

ClimaLite technology: The fabric wicks and transports sweat away from the skin to the outer fabric face for quick evaporation. ClimaLite thus enhances the body’s natural temperature regulation functions.

ClimaProof technology: The fabric will stop wind and rain while maximizing sweat evaporation. ClimaProof® technology uses a thin breathable membrane located in a strategic position on the suit to prevent wind chill effect and to optimize freedom of movement.

Powerweb technology (i.e. TPU bands): The highly elastic TPU bands (TPU = thermoplastic urethane) support the natural expansion and contraction of the musculoskeletal system while performing. They provide elastic support and performance enhancement of key muscle groups.

Power Lycra technology: Controls and reduces muscle vibration, maximizing power while reducing energy loss, muscle fatigue and the risk of cramps.

Further details on the suit as they come to hand. The suits are being won by selected athletes at Turin, including Kati Wilhelm, Alexander Wolf, Simon Hallenbarter and Sven Fischer.
