Sports Garment

Abstract

A sports garment capable of producing the same effects as taping, and of preventing various sports injuries is provided through a simple method in which a taping theory is applied to actively endow a sports garment with frictional resistance with respect to a body (skin surface) so as to create an environment in which muscles, joints, and other parts move in appropriate ranges. A garment body ( 2 ) is formed using a material that has low frictional resistance and slides easily against the skin surface of a body ( 1 ); a resistance lining part ( 3 ) is formed on the internal surface of the garment body ( 2 ) using a material that has high frictional resistance and does not easily slide against the skin surface of a body ( 1 ); and the resistance lining part ( 3 ) is formed in a direction whereby the same effects are obtained as a taping effect in which tape is wrapped onto a body ( 1 ) to restrict movement of muscles, joints, and other parts so as to prevent contusions, bruising, muscle strain, sprain, bone fracture, and other injury.

       6 . A sports garment characterized in that
 a garment body for adhering to a body is formed using a material that has low frictional resistance and slides easily against the skin surface of a body;   a resistance lining part is formed on the internal surface of the garment body by using a material that has high frictional resistance and does not easily slide against the skin surface of a body;   a position at which the resistance lining part adheres to a skin surface of the body varies less easily than that of another adhering internal surface of the garment body;   said garment body and said resistance lining part are formed so as to be elastic, and an elasticity of the resistance lining part is set so as to be less than an elasticity of the garment body; and   the resistance lining part is formed in a direction whereby the same effects are obtained as a taping effect in which tape is wrapped onto a body to restrict movement of muscles, joints, and other parts so as to prevent contusions, bruising, muscle strain, sprain, bone fracture, and other injury.   
   
   
       7 . The sports garment according to claim  1 , characterized in that said resistance lining part is bonded and fixed to an internal surface of said garment body.
