What do professional football teams think of CAPE?   Cape Bionics’ compression garment technology has significantly enhanced our recovery process following intense training sessions and competitive games. This innovative solution not only helps us bounce back quicker but also ensures we are ready for our next challenge with optimal performance. Cape Bionics has truly revolutionized our recovery routine, making it an indispensable part of our athletic regimen.   Mathieu Lacome Chief Performance and Analytics Officer, Parma Calcio 1913 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gU-deqt5

How can professional football players benefit from custom fit compression? Players may not fully recover between games in such congested seasons, and this may impact performance on the field. Players participating in two or more games per week with less than 4 days recovery are also at greater risk of injury (Alterriba – Bartes et al., 2020). Compression garments are widely used by professional footballers to reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery during the competitive season. However, for compression garments to be consistently effective, it’s important that they fit correctly and accurately. Standard fit (off the shelf garments) which are sized on height and weight, have been shown to provide variable levels of compression and inconsistent benefits (Hill et al., 2015, Brown et al., 2022). Given the variation in body shapes and sizes within a team, it is impossible for all players to receive accurate compression with off the shelf brands. The only way to guarantee that compression is effective, is to size garments to each individual player based on a 3D scan. This ensures each player receives correct fitting garments with accurate compression regimes for maximal benefits. A study with rugby players showed a 10% improvement in recovery with custom fit compression compared to off the shelf (Brown et al., 2022). During the competitive season, with only a few days between matches, football players can maximise recovery by choosing custom fit compression garments. https://lnkd.in/g6Ec9uTH #customcompression #capebionics

CAPE is chosen by many professional sports teams to improve player wellness and recovery. Here is what they have to say.... “In professional sport, players are all shapes and sizes, they don’t fit standard sized garments. The players love the custom fit of Cape, it takes our level of care and player recovery to the next level.”   Ian McKeown, Vice President of Athlete Performance and Wellness, Philadelphia Flyers “Our athletes often apply Cape compression garments between practices, during travel and after games to support increased circulation & reduce muscle soreness.” Dave Hamilton, Director of Performance Science, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Read more about the benefits here: https://lnkd.in/gUDKV7RU

Taking advanced compression technology to infinity and beyond 🚀 Cape Bionics' digital scanning technology and accompanying software allow clinicians to scan patients to create personalised, medical-grade compression garments tailored to their unique needs for a variety of performance and therapeutic uses, including currently being used by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. “We’re passionate about revolutionising compression therapy. Our 3D scanning and garment design technologies allow superior medical-grade custom-fit compression garments to be easily prescribed by practitioners anywhere in the world, offering a new level of treatment across a range of healthcare sectors. “With so many options ahead of us, we need deep and broad expertise in market assessments and commercialisation strategies to steer our growth along an optimum path. That’s why we’re ecstatic to be in cohort 4 of the ANDHealth program!” – Dr James Waldie, Founder & CEO, Cape Bionics Learn more about ANDHealth cohort 4: https://loom.ly/Nf0-Q_Q Learn more about Cape Bionics: https://loom.ly/2ZCf8NE ANDHealth is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care Medical Research Future Fund Early Stage Translation and Commercialisation Support Program.

Custom fit compression improves player recovery Fixture congestion in team sports reduces time available for player recovery, increases injury risk and can affect player wellbeing. This can reduce a team’s performance over the course of a season and have significant financial implications. In the days following an intense match, reductions in muscle function, increases in muscle damage, and increases in perceptions of fatigue and muscle soreness have been reported amongst players. Muscle soreness is reported to peak around 24-72 hours post competition, therefore strategies to reduce feelings of muscle soreness can enhance player recovery and readiness to train post match. Compression garments can improve player recovery, however for garments to be effective it is essential that they fit correctly and apply the correct compression regime. Research has shown that standard sized (off the shelf) compression garments provide variable levels of compression and inconsistent benefits (Hill et al., 2015). Custom fit compression garments are individually sized to every player and are proven to improve player recovery by 10% compared to off the shelf garments (Brown et al. 2021). For professional teams wanting to improve player recovery between games, custom fit medical grade compression is the only compression to maximise recovery and performance for every player.

Athletes and airline pilots love our custom-fit travel garments! Cape has released custom-fit compression garments for travel, and the feedback is coming in: The calf sleeves worked magically, no cankles! That’s the longest flight and my ankles are normal! So stoked, I used to think I had to suffocate my legs for that, but I can barely feel these.” Isabella Nichols, Pro Surfer, Surfing Australia “Since trialling CAPE compression on 3 to 4 sector days for up to 11 hours flight time, I’ve benefitted from a decrease in muscle soreness and stiffness, I no longer suffer swollen ankles and I feel less fatigued.” Chris Jenkins, 737 Pilot Read more here, and contact us for a team sample: https://lnkd.in/gzaxQQXZ

Many elite athletes are required to travel extensively, causing swelling, ‘heavy’ limbs, and risks of DVT. Custom-fit compression garments are a practical and affordable option that can consistently address these impacts.  During travel, heart rate is normal and movement is limited, therefore low to moderate grade compression is a comfortable method to invoke vasodilation, improve circulation and reduce swelling. This is very different to athletic performance or recovery which requires a different compression regime.  Custom-fit travel garments deliver the ideal compression accurately for maximum impact, and calf sleeves are widely recommended as the ideal garment type.
