Does my activewear affect my physical performance?

To achieve the best results from different exercises and activities it is important to match the right sportwear to each type of physical activity.

Riding a bike, running, doing yoga or aerobics classes each feature completely different motions and flexibility requirements and sweat absorption. It is important to understand how sportswear influences your comfort and performance in each activity.

Obviously, it is not just functionality - but comfort and durability should also be considered when you purchase your workout garments.

Today it is clear that functional sportswear is also merging with fashion in fabrics, colors and fibers, but just because something looks great, doesn’t mean that it is the right garment – you also need to understand how it interacts with your body during workouts.

VIGOSA appreciates the opportunity to share some of our knowledge to help you choose the right sportwear for you – and the three most important aspects to consider when making your purchase.

Look for Tailor-made Garments

Even though they might feel comfortable, baggy pants are not ideal for cycling, while clothing with little flexibility limits your movements in Yoga or Pilates classes.

VIGOSA has designed sportswear that focus on flexibility and lightness, which will give you greater comfort for all these different types of sports activities.

Appearance Is Important, But Don’t Forget Comfort

Appearance plays an important role for motivation - we all like to feel and look good, but we should make sure that we don’t sacrifice comfort for vanity because ultimately the most important goal is to make sure that the garments enhance our performance during physical activities.

We have chosen specialized fabric that looks great with flattering designs – but still factors in managing moisture and sweat while providing the necessary compression for your movements. This is what we were focused on we created our designs.

Remember that colors can help a lot in appearance. The designs that we offer are meant to look lively and fun and - combined with vibrant colors - will make you look great.  When you look good and are comfortable, it helps keep you motivated through the most intense workouts!

The Fabric and Fibers Can Make All the Difference!

Each physical activity has a different impact on the body and the amount you sweat will vary a lot depending on the intensity of your workouts. It is also obviously affected by the location where and when your activity is carried out - whether outdoors or in the gym, in winter or summer.

In each case the important thing is to stay as dry as possible and have enough ventilation to avoid overheating. The longer you stay dry and comfortable – the longer you feel motivated to keep working out and making the most of your exercise regimen.
