Enhancing Athletic Performance-Place Kicking and Vertical Jumping

Two primary observations were made of athletes wearing Goode Wraps products (compression shorts, ankle and knee wraps) compared to placebo wraps. One involved a standing vertical jump and the other place kicking a football. Two motor tasks, vertical jumping and kicking, with two different athletes were investigated.

A NAC 400 High Speed Video Recording System was utilized to record ten kicks and jumps. In addition, the vertical jump was measured with a Kistler force plate. Each was tested 5 times with/and without the semiconductor imbedded wraps. The results for both were digitized utilizing an Ariel Performance Analysis System (ASPAS).

The vertical jumper wore ankle wraps, knee wraps and compression shorts. The kicker wore knee wraps.

The vertical jump results showed average jump height, vertical take-off velocity and vertical push-off impulse to be greater in the semiconductor jumps. Comparison of the best semiconductor and best control jumps revealed larger vertical impulse—resulting in larger vertical take-off velocity and jump height for the semiconductor jump. The kicking results showed that maximum ball velocity, knee joint angular velocity, and thigh and shank angular velocities at contact were larger in the semiconductor kicks.

Paired t-test, however, showed that the differences between the two conditions were not statistically significant (p greater than .05). Although no significant performance improvement was found, trends in the data suggest that external application of semiconductors may have a positive effect on motor performance. It is recommended that a larger study be undertaken to further illuminate the subject.

"thank you. i just received my second pair or compression shorts. i had a problem with my upper leg for months. i finally went to my doctor who diagnosed it as a groin pull and suggested physical therapy. rather than go through that i ordered your shorts. after wearing you product for a short period of time i was able to run again without pain. i call them magic shorts. I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect or if the thing actually works. what’s more, i don’t care. my leg is almost 100% now. unbelievable."

Additional Benefits from Power Compression Shorts
Improve Athletic Performance and Reduce Injury

It has been proven throughout the research at Penn State Center for Sports Medicine that garments engineered to meet DuPont Lycra Power® Compression Shorts standards ensure a competitive edge. Research at Ball State concluded: Through various mechanisms, these findings may translate into an effect on athletic performance and reduction of injury. Goode Wraps pilot studies show Power Compression Shorts with external application of semiconductors may have a 5% additional positive effect on motor performance (kicking a foot ball and standing high jump).

LA Times - Some say compression garments can enhance performance by improving the body's awareness of motion

We have had only one person tell us he re-injured himself while wearing our shorts, he was a sprinter who pulled a quadriceps muscle, and he told us the story while ordering another pair.

The quadriceps muscle group ("quads") is made of four muscles along the front of the thigh. They all share the tendon that encloses the kneecap and attaches to the top of the shin, and they extend your lower leg. Three of them just work the knee joint, and the fourth, the one on top and in the middle of the front of your thigh, also helps raise your thigh. Trigger points in these muscles can cause pain in your knee and all along the front and outside of your thigh as far up as your pelvis. Trigger points in quadriceps are one of the chief causes of running pain in both children and adults. Goode Wraps Power Compression Shorts relax muscles and tendons to relieve pain and enhance athletic performance.
