Before begining my review of My EXOFORCE, I read a few studies done by Penn State and Ball State Unviersities to better understand how and why compression clothing works. I was very impressed in the way compression affects vasodilation. Penn State confirmed in their study that compression "helps the muscle pumping action on the cardiovascular system to remove lactic acid from the muscles being exercised."
I had often seen powerlifters wearing types of compression shirts while lifting. I was never interested in them however, due to how restrictive they appeared. I just couldn't see myself being able to work each upper body muscle group while wearing one. Exoforce's product provides higher levels of compression than many of the brand name training shirts, while still allowing the skin to breath and release moisture.
When my shirt first arrived, I couldn't believe how light it was. The 'fabric' was unlike any I had felt before, and I couldn't wait to try it on. Once I put it on, I could immediately feel the radial compression being equal across my entire upper body. The zipper on the side allows it to be easily put on, while providing a tighter fit than if it were not there. I was really suprised that I was unable to feel the zipper while wearing it.
Ball State found that compression increases skin temperature and that it could both increase performance and reduce injury. I could immediately notice my muscles feeling 'warmed up' yet my skin was still able to breath.
