Although this is just a joke, why the swimsuit is so tight is actually very particular. In order to help athletes achieve better results, they can only improve the four key sections of pressure resistance, structure, sensitivity and support through the wrapping materials and design. Make your body slightly flatter and create a streamlined posture that reduces the water resistance during swimming and allows players to swim faster.
The SpeedoFastskin Sharkskin Professional swimwear worn by Fu Yuanhui is made of a special material called LZRRacerComprex, a uniaxially stretched fabric that offers excellent flexibility and high extrusion in specific areas. In addition to helping the body to be more streamlined and thus reducing water resistance, the high compression of the swimsuit allows the player to reduce muscle vibration, avoid muscle wrinkles on the skin surface, affecting body fluency, reducing inefficient energy consumption, increasing explosive power, and helping Athletes get better results.
However, in order to pursue the "tight enough" effect of the swimsuit, the swimsuit will be sacrificed in terms of elasticity, which will cause Speedo's "shark skin" to wear enough patience to "snap" its meat a little bit. ".
Speedo has always been the most typical example of high-tech support for the Olympics. Since Speedo used NASA's buoyancy and drag reduction technology to design a full-body suit for Michael Phelps to win the 2008 Olympic medal and break the world record, the swimming competition was subject to the strictest regulation: preventing high performance Sportswear is another “stimulant†that helps improve the game, but apparel manufacturers are still innovating.
High-tech products have always been on the track and field, and many apparel manufacturers are committed to developing clothing and shoes that allow athletes to run faster and jump higher. In this Olympic Games, Nike has brought a new kind of textile technology. Through the small silicone protrusions distributed on the sportswear, the air resistance can be reduced and the athletes can run faster. The AeroSwift series is sportswear, while the AeroBlade is an accessory for arms or leggings. After all, for a 100-meter athlete, even if you can improve the score of one tenth of a second, you can decide the ownership of the gold medal.
3D printing technology has also played a big role in this Olympics. Nike has developed a 3D printing product - a silicone nail that changes the air flow around the player, allowing the athlete to run faster. In particular, Nike has also developed an athlete's seat with a large number of sensors and cold and warm air conditioning. The seat is said to be made of flexible carbon tape and carbon. Its magic is that it can intelligently adjust the cooling and heating temperature. The formation of a micro-climate, with a ventilated throat, allows athletes to cool the body faster, maintain muscle elasticity, and restore physical and mental state more quickly. If athletes rely on such seats during the intermission, for athletes who need to consume a lot of physical energy such as badminton, basketball, etc., if they can recover the state more quickly, compared with other athletes in the same field, no doubt It constitutes a hidden advantage.
In competitive sports such as cycling and swimming, the clothing must fit in order to minimize air resistance. Even without considering speed factors, suitable sportswear can reduce the burden of sweat or heat. The famous sports brand UnderArmour is responsible for creating competition suits for the American gymnastics team. It is specially designed for the hot climate of Rio de Janeiro. The new competition suit can prevent athletes from sweating during the competition.
The American gymnastics team also used a new LumiWave technology to help heal the wound. The device is said to contain 50 infrared LED lights. The athlete puts the bracelet in a painful position, and the pulse signal emitted by the LED lamp promotes the release of nitric oxide in the human body and enhances the function of individual cell recovery.
This has some similar principles and effects as the high-tech elements contained in the Chinese sportswear. It is reported that China's sportswear is made of high-strength elastic fiber fabric, which is said to promote limb venous return, reduce blood stasis, remove metabolic waste, improve energy supply and shorten recovery time. Therefore, China and the United States will compete in the Olympic arena, and in terms of equipment, they will be able to tie for the time being. In addition, UnderArmour designed uniforms for the Canadian rugby team, the Swiss and Dutch beach volleyball teams. The clothing draws on NASA's spacesuit technology and has a built-in wafer device that absorbs body heat and lowers body temperature.
Technology has also played an increasingly important role in the adjustment of athletes' mentality. South Korea used light therapy to help players overcome jet lag, and used the enzymes in saliva to analyze the pressure of the players and use the neural feedback system to guide the players. Especially in the project of archery, which requires a stable psychological state, the neurofeedback system that can read the changes of brain waves can accurately grasp when the athlete has stable or unstable brain waves and adjust to the optimal state.
However, high-tech equipment has also caused public opinion to accuse the Olympics of being unfair. From the current point of view, as long as the high-tech equipment that serves athletes can be guaranteed to be within the Olympic rules, there will be no objection. Adam Clement, senior creative director of the American sports brand UnderArmour Sports Team, believes that "technology can be close to the edge of the rules."
The executives of a sports equipment company in the United States even said: "Engineers have already designed the design of Olympic athletes' sportswear for the next 10 years. In the future, athletes will have higher requirements and new technologies will be invested."
