PROTECTIVE GARMENT FOR FEMALE ADULT AND YOUTH SPORTS PARTICIPANTS

摘要

A lightweight, female youth and adult protective garment for use in playing sports (ie. volleyball, lacrosse, gymnastics, rugby, ice skating, wrestling) or any activity where an individual may experience injury to the areas between the waist and mid-thigh (ie. iliac crest, greater trochanter or coccyx). The garment implements an inseam of 6 inches or less and utilizes limited visible shock-absorbing pads. These pads are designed to adhere to a cloth material (ie. spandex, Lyrca®, nylon). The pads included on the garment are specifically placed on the inside of the garment in high prone injury areas of the pelvic girdle. The purpose is to relieve possible discomfort and reduce injury while maintaining a smoother appearance. This also provides a level of desired mobility for the active individual. The garment can be worn as a uniform, an integrated part of a uniform, or as an independent garment.
