Antimicrobial Rowing Suits

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Antimicrobial Suit Will Keep Olympians Safe From Contaminants

— July 6, 2016 — Lifestyle
A couple of innovators working out of Philadelphia University have developed an exceptionally innovative antimicrobial suit that is designed to keep the US Olympic rowing team's personnel safe and fully shielded from contaminants when they hit the waters in Lagoa Stadium in Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympics.

This antimicrobial suit features a seamless design with special antimicrobial materials embedded in it. This enables it to provide an added layer of protection against water that, according to recent reports, is likely contaminated with untreated sewage and other unsavory and dangerous materials.

The focus at the 2016 edition of the Olympics should be all about performance, which is why this antimicrobial suit is such a valuable innovation.


Trend Themes
1. Antimicrobial Athletic Gear - Innovative athletic gear embedded with antimicrobial material is becoming essential for athletes to perform in unhygienic conditions.
2. Seamless Designs - Seamless designs are becoming a popular innovation in athletic gear to enhance performance and protection.
3. Contaminant Protection for Athletes - Contaminant protection is becoming a necessity for athletes to protect their health and performance during events.
Industry Implications
1. Athletic Apparel - The athletic apparel industry can capitalize on the growing need for innovative designs and materials to protect athletes from contaminants.
2. Sporting Events - Sporting event organizers can incorporate the use of antimicrobial and seamless athletic gear to protect the health and performance of participating athletes.
3. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can use the antimicrobial technology in these suits to develop medical equipment with enhanced protection against contaminants.
