ABOUT US

Medilast was created in 1970 in the city of Lleida (Spain) in order to design, manufacture and sell orthopedic elastic compression products. In 2000 the need to offer compressive quality products for athletes was detected: that is when Medilast Sport born.

A variety of independent studies in prestigious universities were the solid foundation that supported this project, whose main objective was and is to offer products conceived and designed to meet the needs of any athlete. That was how Medilast Sport (now Sportlast) was the first brand to manufacture products of gradual compression for sport, placing them at the forefront of elite sport.

From the beginning, Sportlast has applied its knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry to the sports, working with the best athletes and doctors to provide high quality products.

HOW DOES CIRUCLATORY SISTEM WORK?

Our blood circulates within a closed circuit. It provides itself with oxygen inside of the lungs and it’s canalized by the heart through the arteries reaching each organ.

VENOUS VALVES

They perform as a no return lock gate mechanism that only allows one way blood flow direction to the heart. When the valves are damaged some blood gets stocked in the veins and favours the appearance of varicose veins and blood clots.

MUSCLE

The leg muscles play a really important role within the venous return. When the muscle contracts or tights up, it compress the veins pushing the blood and pumping it back to the heart.

HEART

The heart and its own expulsion and suction beats is our blood circulation engine. Due to the force of gravity, the heart needs some help to accomplish that our vein blood returns back from our extremities.

ARTERIES

Arteries transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart to be spread all over the organism.

VEINS

Veins transport blood rich in carbon dioxide to the heart to deliver it to the lungs so it can be oxygenated again.

CALF MUSCLE

Our calves work as a pumping bomb helping the blood from our legs to return back to the heart while we walk or run.

*With the compression moves (foot sole and muscles) the vein’s blood is propelled in only one direction, thanks to the valves opening the blood returns to the heart. That is when Sportlast compression products are key, its gradual compression help the venous blood return from extremities back to heart.

*The foot solehelps to initiate the blood flow return from the foot to the ankle while we walk or run.

WHY GRADUAL COMPRESSION?

Better oxygenation of the muscles due to improved blood flow return.  

5% OXYGEN

11% LACTIC AXID

Reduces muscle fatigue and therefore also weariness.

Prevents muscle fatigue and muscle micro breaks.

Minimizes impacts from calf and Achilles Tendon vibrations.

More compression at the ankle.

Less compression in the calf.

Three product ranges.

Sportlast manufactures 3 ranges of products that cover the needs of the athlete in each moment of the day, for competing, for recovering and when relaxing. No matter what moment of the day it is, the athlete can use our compression products. That is the Sportlast 24h System.

NRG Line (Energy). Gradual compression. Perfect to practice sport.

RCV Line (Recovery). Consistent compression. To be used after practicing sport.

RLX Line (Relax). Light gradual compression. To be used daily and recommended for travelling.

SPORTLAST COMPRESSION STUDIES

Effects of Gradual-Elastic compression stockings on running economy, kinematics and performance in Runners. Journal of strength and conditioning Research Adrian Valera-Sanz, Javier España, Natasha Carr, Daniel Boullosa y Jonathan Esteve-Lanao.

European University of Madrid.

Dr. Jonathan Esteve Lanao (2008)

The perception of effort, both cardiovascular and in legs, was significantly lower with the use of socks.

+13% RESISTANCE TO EXHAUSTION

The time to reach exhaustion is much longer using compressions socks (13%)

+11% LACTIC ACID TOLERANCE More Lactic Acid tolerance

+ 5% OXYGEN reduce expenditure of Oxygen

HIGHER ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Sports Medicine Center Diputación General de Aragón.

Dr. Terreros, J.L., Echavarri, J.M. y Villar, P.

It was observed a significant improvement of VO2 max (maximum quantity of oxygen that the organism can absorbs, carries and consumes) and also improvement of max lactatemia.  Positive effects in full for the performance in competition.

 

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGIES

In Sportlast we strive to offer the best product compression market. Along the years we have developed different technologies and materials to cover the needs of any kind of athlete.

Anatomical Shape

All our products have anatomical shape that warranty the best adjustment and blood circulation in the leg.

Reinforcements in the Achilles tendon, the instep foot and also in the calf.

WIDER INSTEP

Compression free toe cap

All weather condition

Unisex

ANTI-SLIP AREA

Spongy fabric inside and anti-slip outside, avoiding blisters.

NON-INDENTATION

Elastic area that doesn’t leave compression marks.

BREATHEABLE FABRIC

SEAMLESS

3D LAYER

The 3DLayer technology is in the foot bed located inside of the sock. It´s a microcapsules sole with anti-slip area, designed to avoid blisters and skin irritations. 

Hydraoff®

Hydraoff®

Hydraoff® is a fabric designed for our Trail Running and Triathlon lines. This fabric repels water and prevents snagging while protecting from abrasions.

SILVER IONS

SILVER IONS  

Threads with Silver Ions that provide antimicrobial properties, capable of destroying bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. The silver acts as thermoregulatory turn, antibacterial and anti-odor.

24H System

Sportlast has developed the 24H System with the purpose of improving every aspect of the athlete life: from the competition or training moment, to the recovery time, all the way to moments of relaxation.
