COMPRESSION SCIENCE WITH OWNRIVER

The Science Behind Compression Technology

OWNRIVER’s knee compression sleeves incorporate advanced compression technology and sports science to enhance athletic performance, accelerate recovery, and prevent injuries. Our product design is based on extensive scientific research and clinical practice. Here are the key scientific principles supporting the effectiveness of our products:

  1. Improved Blood Circulation

Compression garments enhance venous return and arterial blood flow by applying external pressure to muscles and blood vessels. This mechanism helps:

  • Increase oxygen supply: Studies show that wearing compression garments can significantly improve muscle tissue oxygenation[1].
  • Accelerate metabolic waste removal: Enhanced blood circulation helps clear metabolic by-products like lactic acid more quickly[2].
  1. Reduced Muscle Vibration

During exercise, muscles produce vibrations that can lead to fatigue and microtrauma. Compression garments can:

  • Decrease muscle oscillation: A study on runners found that wearing compression tights significantly reduced thigh muscle vibration[3].
  • Delay fatigue onset: Reducing muscle vibration can help athletes maintain high-intensity exercise for longer periods[4].
  1. Enhanced Proprioception

Compression garments can improve awareness of body position and movement:

  • Improved joint position sense: Research indicates that knee compression sleeves can enhance knee joint proprioception[5].
  • Better balance: Enhanced proprioception contributes to improved overall balance and coordination[6].
  1. Temperature Regulation

OWNRIVER’s compression sleeves use special materials that help:

  • Maintain muscle temperature: Keeping muscles at optimal temperature during exercise and recovery benefits performance and injury prevention[7].
  • Promote heat dissipation: Our fabrics have excellent moisture-wicking properties, aiding in temperature regulation[8].
  1. Inflammation Control and Edema Reduction

Compression can help control post-exercise inflammatory responses:

  • Reduce interstitial fluid accumulation: Moderate external pressure can prevent excessive fluid buildup in tissue spaces[9].
  • Accelerate lymph fluid return: Promoting lymph circulation helps clear inflammatory mediators[10].
  1. Psychological Factors

The effects of compression garments are not just physiological but also psychological:

  • Increase confidence: Research has found that wearing compression garments can enhance athletes’ self-efficacy[11].
  • Reduce perceived fatigue: Compression garments can lower athletes’ subjective perception of fatigue[12].

OWNRIVER’s Innovations

Based on these scientific principles, OWNRIVER has made a series of innovations:

  1. Scenario-Specific Compression:
    Using medical-grade equipment and data science technology, through expert design and testing, we achieve the optimal combination of compression, comfort, and durability across different scenarios. Each product is carefully calibrated to suit specific use environments and intensities.
  2. Optimal Compression Plan:
    Based on sports science and positive psychology, we’ve designed a compression usage plan. This plan ensures the optimal integration of compression effects with your body’s natural development, extending the duration of optimal effects and enhancing them by nearly double.
  3. Material Technology:
    OWNRIVER uses innovative fabric blend technology, such as fabrics embedded with semiconductor elements, providing unparalleled comfort and exceptional durability. Our 3D weave design ensures all-day comfort without restricting movement.
  4. Anatomical Design:
    Our products feature 3D anatomical designs to ensure a perfect fit, providing a custom-like comfort experience. For example, the built-in silicone patella ring in our Max Support series massages the kneecap during movement, promoting blood circulation.
  5. Graduated Compression:
    Our compression sleeves employ graduated compression technology, with pressure gradually decreasing from distal to proximal. This design more effectively promotes blood return and reduces edema[13].

Conclusion

OWNRIVER’s knee compression sleeves are not just sports equipment, but high-performance products that integrate advanced technology and in-depth research. Through continuous innovation and a relentless pursuit of science, we are committed to providing users with the best support and protection, whether in daily activities, intense sports, or during recovery. We believe that science and innovation are key to driving improvements in athletic performance and health, and OWNRIVER will continue to strive tirelessly on this path.
