Features

Thanks to its carbon heart, Resistex® Carbon features some special characteristics which are particularly positive for the human body: it provides an antistatic-dissipative effect and protects from electrical interference. Tecnofilati laboratories together with Doctor Davide Susta, the Scientific Director of the Como-based Training Development Centre, carried out some tests on a group of athletes, whose results proved to be very interesting.

Results of the tests carried out on Resistex® Carbon.
Temperature
The first noteworthy element emerging from these tests is the athletes' body temperature. When they were wearing Resistex® Carbon jerseys their temperature variation turned out to be three times lower than the one taken when they were wearing a 100% polyester jersey. The fabric promotes perspiration and moisture evaporates faster.

Breathing
While training, the respiratory parameters of the subjects wearing Resistex® Carbon jerseys turned out to be positively modified. The oxygen need decreased by three litres per minute and the respiratory rate diminished as well.

Heart rate
The heart rate resulted to be by 4 heartbeats per minute lower than in those subjects wearing a 100% polyester jersey: in a 4 hours' run you can save up to 1000 heartbeats per minute.

Lactic acid
With a Resistex® Carbon jersey on while exercising, the lactic acid concentration in capillary blood proved to decrease by about 12%.

And then, it is also durable!
Thanks to Resistex® Carbon special structure, its precious features remain unaltered through time. The conductive material continuous filament guarantees the product effectiveness even after many washes.
