Wear different sports shoes when doing different sports. Similarly, socks need to be matched. Wearing proper sports socks during exercise can also reduce sports injuries. The following mainly introduces several popular sports socks:
1. 1 yoga socks
Yoga practice is mainly about flexibility and balance, and some difficult movements are generally barefoot, so it is particularly important to choose socks. The bottom of the yoga socks has rubber particle anti-slip design, and the special anti-slip socks can not only effectively prevent yoga practitioners from slipping when doing actions, but also effectively protect the safety of yoga practitioners. Moreover, with the help of yoga socks, many yoga practitioners can easily master some essentials of yoga movements and increase the effect and harvest of practicing yoga.
In the process of yoga practice, it may happen that yoga practitioners will sweat when practicing barefoot. In this way, the floor or public yoga mat is very unsanitary, so using yoga socks can not only effectively maintain their own hygiene, but also maintain public hygiene.
1.2 running socks
Running socks are designed for runners looking for high-quality breathable running socks. Nowadays, high-performance socks can not only keep your feet dry and comfortable, but also play the role of cushion and support your feet. Running socks can provide support and help prevent slipping. The most important thing is to make sure that the size you bought is correct, so as to prevent the blisters from being too tight or too loose.
Running socks mainly have the following three characteristics: first, they should be breathable, and thin socks should ensure good breathability.
Sex; Breathable mesh accelerates perspiration; Second, support, the elastic band in the middle of the foot ensures the stability of the socks during running; Third, to prevent friction, the flat needle at the toe prevents friction from reddening.
1.3 ski socks
Skiing is becoming more and more popular and accepted and loved by everyone. This extreme sport is characterized by its high speed and steep slope. Speed skating is easy to stand up, especially ankle injury, so it is very necessary to choose a pair of suitable ski socks.
Ski socks should be worn when skiing, but ordinary long sports socks can also be used (basketball socks and baseball and softball socks can be added). Socks are only suitable for non-skiing time, mainly because ski boots are high, socks are too low, and the skin is in direct contact with the inner boots of snowshoes, which is easy to swell and ache due to friction. You only need to wear a pair of socks when skiing. Unless the shoes are a little bigger, you can add more socks to adjust them, because wearing too many socks sometimes affects the feeling of skiing.
Ski socks should be high-waisted and elastic, not too thick to ensure the flexibility of sports.
1.4 Basketball socks
Basketball socks are divided into high waist and low waist. The use of stockings on the basketball court is completely different from that on the football field: football players always wear stockings to their knees to fix the protective plate of the calf face bone. Although basketball socks also have the function of tightly wrapping calf muscles, their sports protection is far less than football socks. It can also be said that stockings on the basketball court bring more psychological factors to players than physical factors. Many players think that it is easier to exert strength after the calf is tightly wrapped, but in fact, this effect is really minimal and almost negligible. Knowing the importance of sports socks, after choosing different sports socks for different sports, you should know the material composition of sports socks before buying. Different materials will solve different problems, so in the end, choose the one that suits you. In addition to cotton, spandex, lycra and other conventional textures, here are several fabrics with special functions.
2. 1 THERMOLITE and COOLMAX
When COOLMAX and THERMOLITE are used as socks, they mainly use short fibers, such as polyester fibers, which are also hollow structures.
THERMOLITE is a special kind of thermal fiber. THERMOLITE is a patented fiber product of DuPont company in the United States. It is reported that THERMOLITE was developed inspired by the fur structure of polar bears. Its cross section is round, and the middle is hollow, like a tube, which can improve the bulkiness of fibers and thus achieve the effect of keeping warm. This principle is somewhat similar to down.
COOLMAX is also a patented fiber product of DuPont company in the United States, and it is also called four-channel profiled polyester fiber in textiles. Ordinary fibers are mostly solid circular or oval in cross section, while COOLMAX fibers are hollow in cross section, just like four pipes juxtaposed. This structure increases the contact area between fibers and air, and also ensures that there are many gaps between fabrics. This ensures that COOLMAX fiber has strong hygroscopicity and moisture drainage, and the fabric doped with COOLMAX fiber has good air permeability. It should be noted that COOLMAX is a kind of functional fiber with moisture absorption, perspiration and breathability, not a kind of thermal fiber. This is just a hot environment to keep the moisture as dry as possible.
2.2 nylon (nylon)
Some ingredients are also called nylon, which are specially used to strengthen the firmness in outdoor sports socks. Easy to wash, dry, durable and flexible. How can nylon prolong the service life of socks without being damaged easily?
2.3 Durability
In fact, the patented technology developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) research project in the late 1970s and early 1980s was developed by NASA for the moon landing program, with the purpose of making moon landing clothing for astronauts, including gloves, socks and underwear. Later, it developed into ordinary clothes, especially outdoor clothes, including ski shirts, pants, sweaters and so on.
The key of Outlast optical fiber technology is to use microencapsulated thermosensitive phase change materials to absorb, store and release heat in the form of latent heat. In the process of temperature change, it can be transformed from solid to liquid, thus achieving the effect of heat absorption and heat release. The microcapsule heat-sensitive phase change material in Outlast fiber is hydrocarbon wax, which can respond to the change of external environment temperature on the skin and buffer the temperature change.
The effect of this fabric applied to sports socks is to keep warm, reduce sweating, and is not easy to stretch and deform, so as to meet the wearer's demand for heat. You can't exercise barefoot with sneakers, even if you just walk 10 minutes. Often, after a ball game or a physical education class, I find bruises and blood bubbles on my feet. In addition to the possibility that shoes don't fit, improper wearing of socks is also a very important reason. How to choose a pair of socks suitable for exercise? There are four principles for choosing socks:
First, in the choice of materials, we should choose pure cotton. Pure cotton material is soft and sweat-absorbent, and it is comfortable to wear, especially when going out for sports. The disadvantage is that cotton fiber does not drain moisture well. When cotton fibers are wet, they dry very slowly. Try not to wear cotton socks if you are active for many days in rainy summer.
Second, sports socks are more elastic. Socks with good elasticity will not slip. Sock fibers with poor elasticity will agglomerate after washing, which will lead to the deformation of socks and some unevenness, and people will feel the feeling of rubbing their feet when exercising. When buying socks, you should see if the elastic fiber at the waist (neck) of the socks is broken. If it is broken, never buy it.
Third, the thicker the sports socks, the better. It is necessary to decide whether to choose thin or thick according to the specific situation. Generally speaking, people with sweaty feet should choose a slightly thicker one; On the contrary, choose a thinner one. For some sports, such as badminton, if the socks are too thick, you should buy thinner ones. In addition, if the ankle is injured, wear thick socks, which can fix and protect the ankle.
Fourth, wear special sports socks for special activities. Wear special socks when taking part in some sports. In some antagonistic sports, such as football, socks have a high waist. In order to protect the calf, this must not be ignored in sports.
