Muscle fatigue that occurs after exercise refers to the temporary loss of power or torque production capacity due to repeated muscle contractions. It helps to effectively relieve muscle fatigue caused by game delay and to restore muscle strength (Sports Med. 13: 99-107, 1992). The main cause of fatigue after a short period of explosive exercise is energy depletion and accumulation of lactic acid. Therefore, methods for removing fatigue products or lactic acid from muscles and blood are very important factors in improving athletic performance of athletes and preventing injuries.

As such, various exercise equipment or therapies have been developed for improvement of exercise capacity and recovery after exercise, and among them, taping therapy for suppressing or promoting muscle tension by attaching an elastic tape to the muscle skin has been developed. However, the taping therapy is difficult to perform alone, it takes a relatively long time to get used to it, and it is cumbersome to perform every time you exercise. In addition, in the case of existing functional clothing that exerts an effect of compressing muscles, it is inconvenient to put on and take off due to the shape of a sleeve or a toe, or there is a limitation in that improvement of blood flow is not effective because the degree of pressure on the wearing part is the same. did.

At least one of the first fabric layers 101, 201, 301, 401, the second fabric layers 102, 202, 302, 402, and the third fabric layers 103, 203, 303, and 403 also has a fabric density that is not fixed to a constant value and the fabric along the extension direction of the wearer's leg or arm. The density can be changed gradually.

Specifically, in at least one of the first to third fabric layers 101 to 103 and 201 to 203 in the first and second pressing units 100 and 200 , the fabric density may decrease as the distance from the wearer's feet increases. Even in this case, when the maximum fabric density of the first fabric layers 101 and 201 is 100%, the minimum fabric density of the third fabric layers 103 and 203 may be 40%. In the third and fourth pressing units 300 and 400 , at least one of the first to third fabric layers 301 to 303 and 401 to 403 may have a reduced fabric density as it moves away from the wearer's hand. Even in this case, when the maximum fabric density of the first fabric layers 301 and 401 is 100%, the minimum fabric density of the third fabric layers 301 and 401 may be 40%.
