Forget cheap, ill fitting imitations, marketing hype and paid endorsements. These compression sports tights are the best we could find and they are developed only with the peak performance of athletes in mind. These tights are designed by sports professionals to outlast and outperform whilst always providing supreme comfort with increased compression exactly where its needed thanks to their unique strategic anchor points.

IT Sports Directors Carl McDonald, Graeme Langlands MBE and Steve Small have an impressive combined knowledge of sport in Australia. With 34 Tests for Australia and 195 goals Graeme ‘Changa’ Langlands MBE is a Rugby League Immortal. Small is a NSW cricket legend having played and coached for the blues. McDonald is actively involved with training the Australian rugby sevens. McDonald and the other two directors decided there was a need for a compression tight that helped with performance and recovery. The Directors of IT Sports approached NSWIS Applied Research Program Director Kenneth Graham in 2006 for his advice with the design of their compression tights.

itsports tights are compression garments designed to help give athletes a competitive advantage over their opponents.

The benefits are targeted towards two major areas:

1. Improving athletic performance by

Maintaining repeated jump performance
Reducing the oxygen cost of running

2. Aiding post workout recovery by

Reducing muscle soreness
Acceleration of the muscle's repair process
Increased clearance of Creatine Kinase (CK) - a marker of tissue damage

These factors allow the athlete to increase training load & quality in their schedule.

While the main goal when designing their tights was improved athletic performance they didn't neglect comfort or durability. The result is a durable product that is comfortable enough to wear for extended periods of time during training, competition or recovery.

The New South Wales Institute of Sport will play host to some super stars of sport next Monday as itsports launch a new garment in compression sportswear. With the help of the NSWIS Applied Research Program a new product in compression tights will be launched on July 16 at the NSWIS, Ian Thorpe Theatrette.

The sporting world has taken a huge interest in the product and many big names are expected to attend the launch. Confirmed VIPs include: Itsports directors Graeme Langlands MBE (rugby league immortal), and former-blues cricketer Steve Small; Australian Rugby Sevens coach Glen Ella; NSWIS CEO Charles Turner and Applied Research Program director Kenneth Graham.

Responses to the tights, which are designed to improve athlete performance and enhance the rate of recovery, have been exciting from NSWIS athletes, many of whom will be modelling the tights and available for comment on the day. NSWIS and Australian representatives Ben Kersten (cycling), Craig Stevens (swimming) and water polo goalkeeper Alicia McCormack were all part of the testing process and are now fine advocates for the garments.

NSWIS athletes competing for Australian team selection, ahead of the Olympics and Paralympics next year, have been given first priority to the tights as orders are already running in thick and fast as word of mouth spreads about this fantastic new product.

NSWIS athletes will be dressed more than just to impress when IT Sports’ compression tights hit the streets in July.

Often sports clothing is more about aesthetics than functionality. But the new sports compression tights to be released by IT Sports in July have certainly tested the boundaries of science and come up trumps.

According to NSWIS athletes Ben Kersten, Craig Stevens and Alicia McCormack, who have been involved in the testing process, this new product works magic for training and recovery needs. “They are very comfortable to wear between sessions and at night,” Stevens said.

“They help me to perform at my optimal level at each session by reducing recovery time and muscle fatigue.”

Australian water polo player McCormack agreed with Stevens. “Institute Tights are like a security blanket for me. I don’t go anywhere with out them.” she joked. “They help me train harder, lift heavier weights and recover painlessly and effortlessly.

“I started wearing the tights in the gym because I felt they gave me the confidence to lift heavier weights.

“Now I wear them to all my training sessions and if I need good recovery I will even wear them to bed.”

But the athlete testing is just one part of the process undergone by IT Sports to ensure they have the best product possible.

IT Sports Directors Carl McDonald, Graeme Langlands MBE and Steve Small have an impressive combined knowledge of sport in Australia. With 34 Tests for Australia and 195 goals Graeme ‘Changa’ Langlands MBE is a Rugby League Immortal.

Small is a NSW cricket legend having played and coached for the blues. McDonald is actively involved with training the Australian rugby sevens. McDonald and the other two directors decided there was a need for a compression tight that helped with performance and recovery.

The Directors of IT Sports approached NSWIS Applied Research Program Director Kenneth Graham in 2006 for his advice with the design of their compression tights.

Graham and his team discussed the key design criteria for the new product and this has resulted in a product that matches the way the body moves and operates in sport.

IT Sports’ thorough approach included consultation with tailors, sports science experts, and athletes and the result is very impressive. “The tights have a very high lycra content and heavy stitching to create anchor points,” Graham said.

“It’s a multi-functional design that allows for the disparate body positions that occur in sport.”

Graham said that his involvement with the tights had increased his knowledge of lycra, materials and stitching more than he imagined possible but that it was these finer points and IT Sports’ attention to detail that was integral to what he believes is a winning design.

Cyclist Ben Kersten agrees.

‘As I’m on the road so much, the tights have greatly improved my ability to recover, particularly between sessions and on long flights to competitions,” Kersten said. “I also believe that they have increased my maximum strength in the gym leading to improved performance when training and competing’.

Athletes like cyclist Ben Kersten who have been trialling the product are happy to get any help they can, and are convinced that IT Sports new tights could well give them the extra edge they need.

With the tights beginning to hit the market place the directors of IT Tights are hoping to design even more compression garments. And with products such as these on hand to help NSWIS athletes improved performances and recovery are sure to follow next.
