McDavid manufacture and market over 250 different innovative products for athletes and an active person of all ages announces that today's athletes are bigger, stronger, faster and more physical than ever before.
As the competition heats up on fields, courts and rinks across the country, athletes are turning to a new layer of defense to protect and prevent injuries-padded underwear.
The next time you see NBA superstar Dwyane Wade draw a hard foul, or your favorite collegiate or professional football player involved in a big-time hit, there's a good chance they're wearing a new form of protective padding that's integrated directly into compression apparel (the underwear many athletes wear underneath their uniforms).
McDavid Sports-a leading name in sports medical products and protective equipment-recently introduced its patented HexPad technology to the collegiate and professional ranks and it's quickly gaining acceptance as a way to enhance athletic performance and protect against injury.
HexPads are small, hexagonal shaped pads, which are permanently bonded to compression apparel and other types of protective equipment, such as knee, elbow and forearm pads. The pads are designed to conform, flex and stretch with the contours of the body in ways previous generations of pads never have.
As an athlete runs, jumps, dives, twists, slides or spins, the HexPads move with the body, acting as a second skin. Unlike other types of pads that can leave gaps in coverage or slide out of position, HexPads wrap seamlessly around the body to provide maximum protection.
