BIRGE-TEK is established in 2004 to work on special textile products using in sports and medical applications. As a new company, we have become the represantative of Forex.
We have been able to cut gradient compression into our garments at specific places to enhance circulation and aid lactic acid assimilation after activity as well as DOMS recovery. Our garments are much stronger and continue
To work on the body after activity has ceased.
Forex products, because of the nature of the compression cut into the garments have the design to give the desired thermoregulation. Forex products create an evaporative cooling mechanism where perspiration is transferred from the skin to the outside of the fabric. The body is kept dry next to the skin; whilst perspiration is evaporated creating a cooling effect that is then transferred back to the skin.
Forex aid the athlete's recovery and promote strength and stamina and on average offer 12% increase in power and stamina whilst keeping the body thermo-regulated. Forex can also reduce muscle strain and ligament damage by keeping muscles in line and in optimum position, particularly when suffering from slight injury. In addition, pilot studies show a 54% reduction in blood lactate levels when wearing Forex for warm-up and warm-down.
