1 ISPO Munich 2015, Messe München, Germany, 5 8 th February 2015 ISPO is one of the leading international outdoor and sports trade shows. It has been reported that close to 80,000 visiting professionals from more than 100 countries came to ISPO MUNICH from February 5 to 8; this further proves the exhibition s high popularity 1. The target audience was primarily for athletes or sportsmen with the aim of improving performance during sports or improving the recovery period for rehabilitation, however, there were many types of technology which were presented at ISPO that could also be applied into an elderly market, see examples below. Wearable Life Science (WLS) Antelope Suit Antelope innovation incorporates seamless textile electrodes (ABP System ) into compression garments. The garment promotes natural muscle contraction by using electrical impulses. The suit is controlled by an app (either smartphone or tablet). The garment can be integrated into any sporting activity. The product has been designed to enhance strength, endurance, coordination and speed suitable for regeneration after sports and competitions or for rehabilitation purposes after injuries. The garment is constructed from a blend of fibres which provide breathability and antibacterial properties that are washable. The garment can stretch in multi directions in order to conform to the 1 Center/Press releases overview_2048.html

2 wearer s personal body shape. The use of compression fabric ensures that the electrodes are always in contact with skin in the correct positions. The electrodes are produced from a special yarn with silver woven in. Rehband Rehband is a Scandinavian brand which has a range of products which include: braces and support, protection, functional clothing and insoles. Rehbrand s target audience is athletes with products which enhance performance or relieve pain. From fall 2014 the previous Rehband Medical range will be re branded as Ottobock. This change is an important step in Ottobocks overall portfolio strategy, to clarify the brands for the consumer products (Rehband) and the medical orthoses (Ottobock) in a whole new way. Spider Tech Spider Tech is a pre cut sports tape which is 100% drug free. SpiderTech is unique because its pre cut elastic therapeutic tape designed to mimic the thickness and elasticity of human skin helping protect tissues during recovery for safer range of motion during exercise and everyday movements. Unlike clunky braces, compression wear, smelly creams and pills, SpiderTech is goes on fast, is so light you barely feel it and is completely safe for children, adults and seniors. PST Kniesiology Tape, Fortbildungs Akademie Following the idea of Dr. Kenzo Kase, comes a completely new method of taping in Germany using a coloured and very elastic material. This technique does not rely on mechanical stabilization of joints like in classic taping, but activated on the sensitization of receptors endogenous processes. It usually comes to quickly relieve pain and improve muscle and joint functions, releases tension and eliminates problems resulting there from. The effect is explained both by the sensorimotor effect, on the other hand, by the significant improvement of blood circulation and Lymphmotorik by the specific properties of the elastic material. Course content: Principle of the method, material science, special effects and various techniques. Tape systems: Tennis elbow, shoulder, cervical / lumbar, static knee, ankle, Achilles, TMJ, Lymphtaping and much more. akademie.de Apple Skin Anti cellulite Slimming Pants The trousers are produced from a high quality fabric composed by an 84% air texturized polyamide and 16% elastane yarn, which achieves high compression with balanced elasticity and unique

3 smoothness. The high level of compression in the fabric and its elasticity, together with the movement of your body while you do sport produces a massaging effect that increases blood circulation so helps to burn fat faster. Its main attribute is the thermal comfort; for the heat and humidity quick transfer between the body and the fabric, it quickly transports moisture from the interior to the surface for a maximum evaporation. Other important characteristics of the fabric are: it doesn t shrink, retains its colour, doesn t wear, keeps its shape, stretches up to 40% its original size, breathable, dries quickly, provides support where necessary and incorporates millions of microcapsules that contain active ingredients that fight against cellulite and fat. Composition of the microcapsules: Caffeine: Consecrated as the anti cellulite and reducing cream s classic substance, it deeply penetrates and improves the skin s microcirculation. Just like L Carnitine, it is lypolitic which helps burn fat, thus reducing local adiposities. Vitamin E: Powerful antioxidant that acts protecting cell structures. Hemp oil: One of its benefits is its ability to regulate the sebaceous glands secretion, making it ideal to treat disorders related to both dry skins and oily skins. Among the hemp oil ingredients, linoleic (Omega 6) and linolenic (Omega 3) polyunsaturated fatty acids are those in greater amounts, providing a smooth texture as well as anti inflammatory properties. Therefore, it is greatly beneficial when treating irritated, inflamed or itchy skins. Cosmetic products that contain hemp oil have moisturizing, firming and regenerating properties. It doesn t contain THC, a psychoactive element found in the marijuana s resin, so it has no side effects. Soybean oil: Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids as well, it is ideal for skin care. It helps normalize linoleic acid levels in particularly dry skin, improves irritated skin and preserves the skins lipid barrier. Used in cosmetic products, soybean oil has two primary qualities, its ability to retain water, which improves the skin s elasticity and flexibility, and its antioxidant power than comes from its large amount of vitamin E, suitable to prevent and delay cellular aging. Pflexx Knee Exerciser Pflexx Sports was set up specifically to research and develop devices that would speed up physical rehabilitation. Les Pape, Managing Director has over 30 years experience in Executive Management & Product Development having headed manufacturing, technical and R&D operations in the UK, Europe and USA. The PFLEXX Knee Exerciser is the only wearable exercise product that strengthens and supports the muscles around the knee joint, designed and developed for Physiotherapy exercise, General fitness and Sports Performance improvement. It may look like a knee support but it does much more, always boosting strength and power in the muscle areas around the knee.

4 The PFLEXX range of products is based on patented bio mechanical resistance technology. Resistance to joint movement when wearing for example the Knee PFLEXX creates increase in muscle activation. It is University tested and the findings illustrate up to 30 % increase in muscle activation when walking and up to 400% when running. (Newcastle University) The technology incorporates biomechanical resistance fitted either side of the joints which work naturally against physical movement and strengthens the adjacent muscle groups. Leguano Barefoot Shoe Material composition for barefoot leguano PREMIUM A discreetly stylish design in black, navy blue, red and white, with an ideal fit thanks to a new material mix comprising 67% pure new wool, 21% polyamide, 2% polypropylene, 8% cotton and 2% elastane.

Besides being particularly comfortable to wear, leguanos promise high heat density while releasing moisture more effectively; the reinforced, specially knit heel area provides exceptional support. We also go to great lengths to ensure the wool we use is sourced from sheep that have not been subjected to mulesing. The soles are made from biocompatible LIFOLIT, which complies with the specifications of toy safety standard EN 71/9; the material is tough enough to protect the wearer even from sharp stones and similar objects without losing that sensitive barefoot sensation.

CW X CW X offer so called conditioning wear. Their compression claf sleeves, socks, shirts, tights and shorts have a patented built in CW X Support Web TM derived from kinesiology taping techniques. Products are made from seamless, variable compression 4 way stretch fabric which improves circulation and from built in webbing that follows the main muscle structures. The supportive built in webbing reduces muscle fatigue, creates better stability and balance, reduces knee impact and makes the body more efficient. In a warm up phase, the compression fabric increases blood flow, supports the muscles and joints during sports and accelerates recovery increasing circulation again and reducing lactic acid levels. x.com/
