HOW, WHAT & WHY?
Linebreak is a technological garment but in reality it's uses and benefits are simple to understand, and hugely beneficial. Read on but also Click on the links below to find out more.
RECOVERY
Designed in conjunction with leading sport biomechanists and using input from elite and grassroots athletes, Linebreak performance sportswear is the missing link in getting the best results on and off the park.
At all levels of sport knowledge about hydration, nutrition and training techniques are commonplace but the age old problem of muscle soreness taking it’s toll on an athletes ability to develop has been left unaddressed – until now.
Linebreak is a specialist in recovery technology using the latest developments in fabrics to get an athlete back on the road quicker and fresher than ever before.
Gradient compression is the key to enhanced circulation, which is Linebreak’s standout feature. This gradual increase in compression from the waist to ankle promotes optimal blood flow throughout the entire leg feeding oxygenated blood to the muscles worst affected by lactic acid build up.
Better blood flow means this debilitating bi-product of exercised is ‘flushed’ out of the muscles making the time to recovery vastly quicker, and faster recovery means you’re back on the road fresher and ready to get the most from your next session.
Add to this the research proven moisture management qualities of the fabric that keep you drier and regulate your core temperature and you have a product that works for you both during and after exercise.
What this means is that the Elite athletes can train hard and recover quicker allowing them to stay at the top of their game for longer, but the real benefit is that us ‘weekend warriors’ can play hard on a Saturday and still be able to play with the kids on a Sunday, or even get into work on a Monday after a half marathon on Sunday.
TRAINING & PLAYING
Temperature Management/Regulation – Linebreak’s fabric works with you to keep your core temperature regulated. It’s not hot gear that overheats you and it’s not cold gear that keeps you too cold, but regulates the core to ideal levels.
How? Well worn in the winter it is an extra layer when you first go out but as you get hotter the moisture wicking properties of the fabric help move moisture to the garment surface away from the skin keeping you drier. But there at the surface it evaporates quicker allowing cooling to stop you overheating.
In the summer the same applies but the wicking and enhanced evaporation quickly brings your temperature down and reduces fluid loss – Research in hot conditions shows that wearing a Linebreak T-Shirt the athletes skin was drier, sweat rate was reduced by 31% and the overall rating of perceived exertion was reduced.

Proprioception – ‘the awareness of position of limbs in space’. Linebreak’s muscle compression supports your joints when running and allows for correct body alignment when lactic acid (obla) sets in, reducing the chance of injury and muscle tears.
Non-Chafing – Linebreak is lightweight, comfortable and durable and reduces the chafing from inner-shorts on traditional running garments. Ideal for the long distance runner
Calf Guards – The revolutionary new lower leg support, guarding against leg fatigue, muscle soreness & cramping, to keep your legs fresher for longer.
