Abstract

Filler clothes 3 , which intersect with each other at a section corresponding to the middle point between the interspinal point and patellar midpoint of a human body, are formed on a front section of a bottom garment 1 . The filler clothes 3 which are formed in this manner stimulates the rectus femoris muscle 14 which is a part of the quadriceps of a wearer. When the quadriceps is stimulated while walking, the legs can be kicked backward significantly in a natural fashion, whereby the gluteus maximus muscles can be used efficiently.

Claims (6)

1. A wearable bottom garment having a front portion and a rear portion, comprising:

a main body portion including a groin portion and two leg portions, each leg portion comprising a thigh portion and a tightening portion, wherein the tightening portion comprises a first tightening portion and a second tightening portion,

wherein upon use the pressure applied to the wearer by the first and second tightening portions is greater than the pressure applied to the wearer by the main body portion,

wherein the first tightening portion extends from a starting point at the groin portion on the front portion, then extending around the front of the thigh portion, and further extending obliquely downwards to an end point at the outside of the leg portion on the front portion without extending to the rear portion, the second tightening portion extending from a single starting point at an area at substantially the same height as the groin portion, the area being on the outside of the leg portion on the front portion, then extending around the front of the thigh portion, and further extending obliquely downwards to an end point at the inside of the leg portion on the front portion without extending to the rear portion,

wherein the first and second tightening portions intersect at a section corresponding to a middle point between an interspinal point and a patellar midpoint of the wearer's body, the intersect section being located at the front side of the thigh portion of the wearer, and wherein the first tightening portion and the second tightening portion are connected to each other and to the garment but to no other tightening portion.

2. The wearable bottom garment according to claim 1 , wherein the middle point is located within a region in which the ratio between a length extending from the interspinal point to the middle point and a length extending from the middle point to the patellar midpoint of the wearer is between 4:6 and 6:4.
