ASAHI KASEI FIBERS developed a specially structured original-brand fabric “ELACTION PRO”, which has a good elastic recovery and is stretchable in all directions. The wearing test was conducted in collaboration with Professor Hamaoka (Ritsumeikan University) and confirmed an appreciably faster soothing effect on legs in comparison with a bare foot or a conventional wear. Here the quantity of deoxygenated hemoglobin (a blood component) was monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy during knee bend exercise, and observed that the venous return from the lower extremity was promoted by wearing “ELACTION PRO”.
