85% of AIR TRAVEL thrombosis victims are ATHLETIC, usually endurance athletes like marathoners.
It was recently shown that MLB pitchers who were pitching at home with JET LAG, gave up enough additional home runs to completely erase their home-field advantage.
FLIGHT ARMOUR endeavors to protect athletes from clotting as they journey to and from events, with no performance penalty for having traveled. While competitors suffer from jet lag, sluggish blood flow, dips in energy, and swollen limbs, OUR ATHLETES are ready to step off of the airplane and compete on the tarmac if necessary.
DVT is a condition in which a blood clot forms within a vein, potentially traveling to the lungs where it lodges, resulting in deadly pulmonary embolisms.
FLIGHT ARMOUR's combination of PINE BARK and NATTOKINASE reduces platelet aggregation and increases the activity of a blood flow-boosting enzyme that generates nitric oxide in vessels. Additionally, it breaks down fibrin and fibrinogen, diminishing chances for plaque and red blood cell-induced clot formation. (clinical test)
A clinical study has proven that the use of Pine Bark Extract is MORE EFFECTIVE than COMPRESSION SOCKS at reducing Thrombosis. (clinical test).
4 REASONS WHY
ATHLETES ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DVT
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.
The need to travel long distances
Competitions are held across the globe, requiring athletes to take long flights to participate. The longer you don't move, the greater your chances of developing a blood clot deep in the veins of your legs. A 2010 study investigated the effect of air travel on exercise-induced coagulation and fibrinolysis in endurance athletes. Results suggest that the combination of air travel and marathon running induces an acute hypercoagulable state, subjecting the traveling athlete to significant risk of deep vein thrombosis.
Dehydration
Despite hydrating with water or sports drinks, it is still easy for high-performance athletes to sweat profusely and become dehydrated. Dehydration decreases plasma, the liquid portion of the blood, and increases blood's thickness or stickiness. The thicker your blood becomes, the more likely it is that blood clots will form.
Injuries/surgeries
Despite diligent training and conditioning, competitive athletes frequently suffer injuries, including broken bones. Any injury to a vein or a severe muscle injury can increase the risk for developing DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis). The casts and braces needed to stabilize broken bones limit your mobility, allowing your blood to pool, thereby increasing your risk.
Hormones
Female athletes may use hormone contraceptives during training and around competitive events to avoid menstruating at an inopportune time. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is rare, but taking birth control pills that contain estrogen or that combine estrogen and a progestin have been shown to increase the risk.
PROTECT AND PERFORM
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.
The IRONMAN athlete is a perfect storm for a DVT. Athletes undergo a certain amount of muscle damage in races, and are also likely dehydrated when they get back in a car or plane.
