Your athletic wear can actually sabotage your performance...
We spoke with Tim Liu, CSCS, Precision Nutrition Certified Coach who explains,"Your attire can affect your workout by influencing how well you move and the core temperature of your body.", Nick Harris, top human performance expert and creator of HPE Activewear explains,"Wearing appropriate clothing is crucial when you are an avid exerciser. Many sport injuries occur because of the lack of appropriate equipment, including clothes.
Liu confirms moisture-wicking fabric is so necessary. He says,"The best kind of clothing to work out in are fabrics that can be moisture-wicking, and breathable. When shopping for activewear, choose clothes that fit your body type well, feel comfortable, and give you freedom of movement.", the top moisture-wicking materials to look for in exercise shirts are polyester, merino wool , nylon, or polypropylene.
And as far as shoes are concerned, Liu notes,"When choosing shoes for running, pick ones that give you a bit of support, but not too much cushion, so you can get good ground contact. With strength training, I recommend having a shoe that is more flat or [one that has] a slightly elevated heel. This will give you stability for your lower body exercises such as squats and lunges.
