Lycra Power

We are always looking for ways to improve athletic performance. For that reason, we have incorporated Lycra Power as a component of our Aenergia™ fabric. Used in our high-end shorts and bibs, Lycra Power has more stretch and recovery than regular Lycra, which provides muscle compression. This reduces oscillation of muscles, lowers muscles fatigue, heightens body awareness and sharpens muscle response. All of which have been proven through scientific study to extend muscular endurance and efficiency of movement.

Facts about Lycra Power

• Our shorts and bibs with Lycra Power contain a minimum of 20 percent Lycra, providing optimum stretch and recovery with minimum weight.
• Properly designed garments completely cover the thigh, from the hip to just above the knee, providing firm yet gentle muscle compression.
• Lycra Power garments fit the body like a second skin, assuring comfort and improving the athlete’s ability to sense body movements – essential in sports that require great precision of movement.

Test Results of Athletes garments designed with Lycra Power

• Studies at the Centre for Sports Medicine at Pennsylvania State University demonstrated that athletes wearing Lycra Power garments achieved an average of 12 percent improvement in performance levels
• Tests conducted at the ETH Laboratory for Biomechanics in Zurich showed that keeping the muscles at an optimum temperature with Lycra Power improves performance and delays exhaustion. Both performance and endurance benefit from a reduction in the amount of energy required to cool the body core. Further tests prove that the muscle compression provided by Lycra Power garments can improve accuracy of movement up to 73 percent.
