Article of sports clothing
The invention relates to an article of sports clothing ( 10 ) for wearing next to the skin, comprising at least on base basic zone of elastically expandable textile fabric and at least on compression section ( 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 11 ) comprising means for compression, which are formed by ridges that are provided on the face of the textile fabric facing towards the skin. The compression sections ( 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 11 ) are arranged asymmetrically in relation to the body halves, divided into the sections provided for the trunk ( 20 ) and/or the upper and/or lower extremities ( 21, 22, 23, 24 ).
1. A sport compression shirt with sleeves having a first sleeve and a second sleeve adapted to cover the arms of a wearer, a first shoulder region and a second shoulder region adapted to cover the shoulders of the wearer, and a trunk region adapted to cover a trunk of the wearer comprising:
an elastically expandable textile base fabric having an interior surface for contacting skin when the shirt is worn, and an exterior surface;
a plurality of fabric compression sections on the interior surface of the base fabric distributed over portions of the trunk region, the first shoulder region, the second shoulder region, the first sleeve, and the second sleeve thereof; the compression sections comprising a plurality of spaced ridges configured to contact the skin when the shirt is worn;
wherein, the compression sections are arranged and configured to provide (a) a different level of compression in the first shoulder region relative to the second shoulder region when the shirt is worn, and (b) a different level of compression in the first sleeve relative to the second sleeve when the shirt is worn;
wherein at least one of the compression sections is arranged in a first pattern in the first sleeve and at least one of the compression sections is arranged in a second pattern in the second sleeve; and the ridges in at least one of the compression sections in the first sleeve are arranged with different spacing and have a different coefficient of elasticity relative to the ridges in at least one of the compression sections in the second sleeve; and
wherein the first pattern of the compression sections in the first sleeve is different from the second pattern of the compression sections in the second sleeve.
2. The compression shirt of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the compression sections is arranged in a first pattern in the first shoulder region and at least one of the compression sections is arranged in a second pattern in the second shoulder region; and the ridges in at least one of the compression sections in the first shoulder region are arranged with different spacing and have a different coefficient of elasticity relative to the ridges in at least one of the compression sections in the second shoulder region.
3. The compression shirt of claim 1 , wherein each of the first sleeve and second sleeve comprises an upper arm portion, a forearm portion and an elbow portion therebetween.
4. The compression shirt of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the compression sections is located in the upper arm portion of the first sleeve and at least one of the compression sections is located in the upper arm portion of the second sleeve.
