Garments for optimized energy return

摘要

Garment, especially a sport pant, comprises at least one elastic element (20) arranged in at least a first region of the garment. A second region of the garment located on a side part of the body facing the first region contains no elastic element. The garment stores energy by elastic elongation during a first movement of the body part in a first direction. This energy is released during a second movement of the body part in the opposite direction so that the garment supports this second movement. Preferred Features: The elastic element is an elastic band made of a thermoplastic polymer.
