I care for athletes, for every type of athlete.

I protect them from the youngest age so

they can reach their full potential.

I give them support when they are injured,

to return to action faster.

I am with them for their performances,

day after day, season after season.

Some athletes train to win and focus on that goal.

Some athletes exercise every day

to enjoy personal fi tness.

Everybody enjoys sports in their own way, with

their own goals and objectives.

I know that physical activity is a commitment that

involves discipline, intensity, pain.

I know that performance, when facing others,

means trusting your body.

I know that unique emotions are achieved in

sports and stay with us for a long time.

This is why I love sports. Passionately.

I am ZAMST.

To enable athletes to achieve maximum performance levels, ZAMST continuously strives for excellence in the functionality and quality of its products.

To protect athletes’ bodies and enable them to move with confi dence, ZAMST engineers emphasize innovation and experimentation to develop the most effective products. Many tests are conducted on high-tech equipment, either in-house at the Sigmax Technology Center or in collaboration with independent outside research centers. See the opposite tests conducted internally.

Breathability testTest carried out on different materials to determine the one that is just right for each part of the product.

Light resistance testMaterials are subjected to specifi c kinds of radiance to identify their resistance to sunlight (appearance, discoloring, distortion, etc.).

Distortion testProgressive force is applied to test materials’ resistance to distortion. This test is particularly useful for resin stays.

Impact testMeasures materials’ resistance to an external impact. The stays and plastic guards on ZAMST ankle supports are rigorously subjected to this test.

Durability

Checks the service life of materials under specifi c heat and humidity conditions.

Motion simulator

An ankle support is positioned on an artifi cial foot equipped with sensors to assess the ankle’s mobility and stability in a multidirectional application.

Developed from medical scienceD

ZAMST is a brand of the NIPPON SIGMAX group, which has been a leader in the Japanese orthopedics market since 1973. ZAMST was created in 1992 and leverages its parent company’s strong medical expertise, vast business experience and rigorous manufacturing techniques.

Collaboration with doctors and professional athletes.

ZAMST products are developed in consultation with doctors, trainers and

professional athletes. We place a lot of importance on the contributions of people

who specialize in a variety of complementary fi elds: a doctor’s priority is the

structure and functionality of the product, whereas an athlete will fi rst want to

know whether it is comfortable and if it has a positive impact on performance.

This protocol consists of applying a four-step treatment:

Rest, Icing, Compression, Elevation.

1 - REST: When injury occurs, it is best to rest by sitting

down on the ground or on a chair to avoid causing further

damage.

2 - ICING: Relieve swelling, pain and muscle spasms

by applying cold to the affected area.

3 - COMPRESSION: Prevent the swelling from spreading

and reduce pain by applying appropriate compression

to the area. Ask the injured person if the amount of

compression feels right.

4 - ELEVATION : Raise the injured part of the body above

the heart to reduce swelling.

Cold therapy, or icing, is an important step in the R.I.C.E. protocol

Injuries come with symptoms of infl ammation such as pain and swelling. If the injury goes untreated, the damage may

worsen, which could delay recovery. Cold therapy prevents the injury from spreading while reducing pain and swelling. It

also promotes a swift recovery.

Applying cold therapy using the R.I.C.E. protocol

The sensations felt in the injured area occur in four distinct stages:

1 23

The use of cold therapy (therapeutic application of cold obtained by various means, such as ice, cold water, wet cloth, nitrogen or CO2) is very widespread in sports traumatology. Indeed, the effects of cold temperatures have been known since ancient times. Hippocrates (460-370 BC) had already pointed to the use of ice and snow to reduce pain and swelling.

ROLE OF COLD THERAPY:

Reduced swelling:

The cold causes blood vessels to contract which

reduces the blood fl ow.

Reduced infl ammation:

Limiting the activity of tissue around the original injury

helps prevent a secondary injury.

Pain relief:

Numbing the affected area helps alleviate pain.

Alleviation of fatigue:

The blood vessels temporarily contract. The elimination

of lactic acid is accelerated.

Quick resumption of physical activity:

Temporarily desensitizes the affected area.

Facilitates the completion of rehabilitation exercises.

The R.I.C.E. (Rest, Icing, Compression, Elevation) protocol is effective

in the acute phase of the injury.

FEET

Foot injuries are the result of repeated pressure on the plantar arch during running and/or jumping.

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

The plantar arch serves as a dampener by distributing the load across the entire foot and absorbing shock waves. To do this, it works like a spring to coordinate proper dynamics among the bones of the foot (movement of the talus bone and the calcaneal bone).

Plantar fasciitis is a very common injury among runners. This infl ammation, caused by a series of hyperextensions, can lead to a tear mid-jump or mid-run. It is accompanied by pain in the heel and across the entire plantar arch.

SHIN SPLINT

As fatigue develops, the shock absorption function is diminished, causing joint dysfunction and a growing impact from shock waves.

Shin splints develop when the foot becomes unable to absorb shock because the plantar arch

has collapsed. This injury often emerges after a sharp increase in the quantity of exercise.

It is more likely to occur in persons with pes planus (fl atfoot).

ROLE OF THE HA-1

Whether it is fi tted with the short or tall rod or used in its «running» confi guration,

the HA-1 provides dynamic support to the plantar arch, stabilizes the foot upon impact,

absorbs some vibrations transferred to the tibia and guides the Achilles tendon.

The unique support provided by the HA-1 reduces the fatigue due to repetitive impact

to minimize foot injuries (plantar fasciitis, shin splint, Achilles tendinopathy).

CONVENTIONAL WISDOM 1

«Socks are accessories, only shoes matter»

False. Although the choice of shoes should not be taken lightly, the same is true for socks like the HA-1,

Ankle injuries

SPRAINS

Ankle sprains involve an injury to the lateral collateral ligament in a majority of cases. They are organized into three categories depending on the severity of the injury: mild, moderate or severe.

Ankle sprains occur when there is a forced inversion motion (90%) or in some cases (10%) an eversion motion.

Designed to support the ankle and prevent inversion sprains (which are

common) and eversion sprains, ZAMST protection products can also help

you when you resume activity after an injury.

If you experience pain or

fragility or are injured, apply

the R.I.C.E. protocol (p. 8).

ROLE OF A DYNAMIC ANKLE SUPPORT

When used for prevention, it protects the joint by restricting forced motion and helps improve ankle stability.

When resuming activity after a sprain, the ankle support makes it possible to work the joint earlier, guides

movement, limits the risk of repeat injury and helps improve proprioception.

ZAMST ankle supports are designed to adapt to various athletic activities and offer distinct levels of support to adapt

to specifi c constraints.


«Once you start using an ankle support, you’re stuck with it for life!»

Many athletes think that wearing an ankle support will lower the ankle’s proprioception capability and, therefore,

its refl exes: in fact it is just the opposite for dynamic ankle supports, meaning those which follow the ankle’s

movement.

Because the ankle is well protected, the athlete can confi dently work in wider ranges of motion by letting the

ankle support play its role as a proprioreceptive reminder.

ACHILLES TENDINITIS This tendinitis affects the biggest tendon in the human body, the Achilles tendon. It can have several causes:- Repeated impact and rubbing- Overwork, training surfaces- Static disorders of the skeletal frame and/or foot (fl atfoot or

high arches)- Ill-fi tting shoes, poor hydration, lack of stretching or warm-up.

It will always ultimately end the athlete’s activity if no action is taken to prevent and

manage the issue.

The AT-1 is ZAMST’s answer to this pathology, which is one of the most common in

running and jumping sports.

ROLE OF THE AT-1

Its fi rm ankle compression combined with a closure system comprised of taping straps will let the heel bend back

and upward like an orthopedic sole insert to limit tendon tension while also allowing the Achilles tendon to work in

a pain-free path of motion and slide under optimum conditions. The padding located on both sides of the Achilles

tendon compresses the tendon, which reduces the demands placed on it while absorbing shock and vibration.


«From ‘tendinitis’ to a ruptured tendon»

While tendinitis can be crippling, it does not result in a torn Achilles tendon, which is an accidental, unpredictable

injury.

Knee injuries

KNEE LIGAMENT DISORDERSThe knee is a joint that is used heavily in all sports and the risk of sprain is very high.

These sprains, which can be as severe as complete ligament tears,

primarily affect the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the medial

collateral ligament (MCL).

ACL tears are common in sports that involve pivoting (skiing, basketball,

soccer, badminton, etc.). For physiological reasons (anatomy and

hormones), female athletes are more affected than their male

counterparts. This condition may occur alone or be accompanied by

meniscus problems and/or MCL injury.

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and the lateral collateral

ligament (LCL) can also be damaged in some sports (motocross,

combat sports, etc.).

ROLE OF A DYNAMIC LIGAMENT KNEE SUPPORT

When used for prevention, it limits abnormal movement and improves stability with effective compression and better

proprioception and serves as a mechanical reminder.

During post-injury recovery, a knee support makes it possible to use the joint earlier, guides movement and limits

the risk of repeat injury.

ZAMST knee ligament products are designed to adapt to all kinds of sports activities by offering different levels of

support.


«Knee supports and muscle loss?»

A dynamic knee support is not a cast; in fact, it lets you play or resume sports with total confi dence, meaning you

can build (or rebuild) your muscles.

KNEECAP DISORDERS One common affl iction in running and jumping sports is jumper’s knee. This is a tendon disorder in the patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap to the tibia, extending from the quadriceps.

The causes of this injury vary:

-Repeated strain

-Strength imbalance between fl exor and extensor muscles

-Poor position or instability of the kneecap.

For athletes who are still growing, repeated pulling of the patellar tendon can

result in a pathology called Osgood-Schlatter Disease, which is characterized by

severe pain where this tendon enters the tibia (anterior tibial condyle).

ROLE OF A DYNAMIC KNEECAP SUPPORT

The ZAMST products in the JK (Jumper’s Knee) line apply compression to

the patellar tendon to reduce its path of motion, limit stress and absorb shock

and vibration; where necessary, these products (JK-1, JK-2) also re-center and

stabilize the kneecap to prevent patellar injuries such as chondropathy and/or

subluxation.


«The more warmed up my knee is, the less it hurts»

It’s true that pain tends to fade as the body warms up, but the effect is only temporary! It will eventually return for

the entire duration of your physical activity or--worse still--it could turn into an injury.

BACK

Common lumbago is a back problem that affects or will affect nearly 80% of us and athletes are no exception.

Lumbago is pain in the lower back that can be caused by factors as varied

as osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, gynecological or intestinal

problems and more.

Fortunately, it is quite often a simple matter of strength and muscle

balance, a lack of fl exibility or poor posture.

Among athletes, overtraining, poor technique, repeated trauma or a simple

misuse of muscle groups in relation to one another can all have the same

consequences.

In the presence of pain, particularly at the lumbar level, the reaction of

the athlete is at fi rst to stiffen. This stiffness, if prolonged, can cause

muscle spasms, which in turn, maintain the pain.

And so on ...

The painful refl ex arch

The lower back is especially sensitive to what is called

the «painful refl ex arch».

The concept of proper balance between our stomach and back muscles,

called core conditioning, is what allows our spinal column to maintain

a proper position and prevent collapse, impingement and other spinal

troubles. Core conditioning also makes it possible to better absorb shock

from the legs, which is abundant during sports.

If you experience pain or fragility or are

In chronic pain, in contrast, warm area

to relieve and relax.


«I should lie down when I have lower back pain. »

No, quite the opposite! Remaining motionless and succumbing to the pain perpetuate the painful refl ex arch,

which runs counter to the desired effect. Resuming activity, even in moderation, will help strengthen the core

muscles of the back and stomach that are crucial to spinal stability. Moreover, muscle activity in the lumbar

region will help reduce spasms and interrupt the vicious circle of pain.

ROLE OF DYNAMIC BACK SUPPORTS

Technique 1

Apply additional abdominal pressure.

The lumbar vertebrae are supported by muscles in the stomach and back. Effective pain

relief can come from supporting the waist from the outside, which increases pressure in

the abdominal cavity and supports the lumbar vertebrae.

Technique 2

Restrict backward extension.

Observing good posture reinforces the stability of the lower back. Preventing

overextension (when the body curves backward), which overburdens the waist,

reduces stress on the lumbar spine.

Technique 3

Mechanically stabilize the lower back and the sacroiliac joint.

The lumbar vertebrae are stacked on top of the sacrum like building blocks.

Compressing the sacrum from the outside and tightening provide support and

stability to the lumbar vertebrae and the sacrum.

Technique 4

Apply heat for relief.


«You can’t play sports with a back support»

In effect, the majority of back supports are not suitable for physical activity: made from non-breathable materials,

they are too stiff, hard to adjust and heavy and don’t stay put. ZAMST offers a line of dynamic lumbar belts

designed for sports. They stabilize the lower back area, actively improve core conditioning, promote good posture

and ensure free movement. The light materials wick perspiration away so the supports are comfortable and do

not move during exercise.

SHOULDER INJURIES:The shoulder has the largest range of motion of all the joints in the human body. It is often forced to work very hard at extreme angles and high speeds, which increases the risk of instability and injury.

Shoulder stability requires a good balance between the outer and inner

muscles.

ROLE OF THE SHOULDER WRAP

The SHOULDER WRAP, because it delivers compression, proprioception

and stabilization, ensures effective muscle coordination and promotes

stability of the shoulder joint while enabling unimpeded movement.


«The shoulder is the hardest joint to tape»

This is TRUE. Taping the shoulder is technically diffi cult and it requires

the services of a health professional, plus it is very expensive! It will

take three to four rolls of compression tape per shoulder. Plus, to be

effective, it must be heavily compressed at the torso, which interferes

with breathing.

Therefore the ZAMST SHOULDER WRAP is the best solution in terms of

effectiveness, comfort and cost.

ELBOW INJURIES:In sports where instruments are held in the hand, the elbow plays an important role in adjusting control and speed. In throwing sports, the elbow and the wrist are the last joints to transfer acceleration to the projectile (whether it is a ball, javelin, weight or other object). As a result, the elbow is subject to major joint and tendon stress.

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golf elbow (medial epicondylitis, or little league elbow)

These names are misleading because the majority of people who suffer from these pathologies do not play tennis or golf!

Repetitive movements involving the forearm muscles (tennis backhand, golf swing, mouse clicks, home improvement

work, etc.) can trigger a tendon disorder that results in acute pain on the outside (tennis elbow) or inside (golf elbow)

of the elbow. The pain is omnipresent and crippling in everyday tasks.

ROLE OF THE ELBOW BAND

Because it applies compression locally where the tendon attaches on the outer or inner elbow, the ELBOW BAND

makes it possible to reduce the tendon’s path of motion and absorb shock and vibration, which limits stress and effort.

If you experience pain or fragility or are injured,

apply the R.I.C.E. protocol (p. 8).

ELBOW INSTABILITYGood elbow stability is achieved through muscle strength in the arm and forearm and the integrity of the lateral and medial ligaments.

ROLE OF THE ELBOW SLEEVE

Its compressive and proprioceptive effects optimize the muscle’s effort and reinforce elbow support. The heating effect

enables effective joint function as soon as activity begins regardless of the weather conditions outside.

CONVENTIONAL WISDOM 9« You should never wear an elbow band until you experience pain »

It’s just the opposite. Because repetitive strain is applied to the epicondyles, you run a high risk of encountering pain and

even injury. While prevention requires specifi c weight training exercises, stretching, quality equipment and good eating

and hydration practices, the mechanical action of the ELBOW BAND on the tendon offers a complementary solution that

is easy and effective.

WRIST AND THUMB INJURIESThe wrist and thumb play an important role in sports where players hold balls or other equipment in their hands.

The wrist consists of various muscles, tendons and bones, including the eight carpal bones, the radius and the ulna.

The thumb is comprised of three bones and three joints. These joints give the thumb special mobile abilities compared

to the other fi ngers.

Wrist tendinopathies

These disorders affect athletes who play racket sports like tennis, squash, badminton and table tennis. They are caused by

overuse of the wrist for swift, repeated movements.

Wrist traumas

Sprains are the most common wrist injuries, followed by fractures and dislocation.

These injuries are often caused by a hard landing after a fall that causes the wrist to twist in an unnatural direction.

Thumb sprains

This is a sprain to the lateral ligament that supports the joint located at the base of the thumb (metacarpal-phalangeal joint);

it results in instability and hinders one’s ability to grip objects.

It occurs during a fall (skiing, combat sports, etc.) or when a ball or other object lands hard in the hand and exerts excessive

force on the thumb.

ROLE OF WRIST SUPPORTS

Thanks to its elastic design, the WRIST WRAP supports movement and stabilizes the thumb-wrist junction. Its compression

and proprioception properties improve strength, gripping and natural protective refl exes.

The more rigid WRIST BAND prevents extreme wrist motion while stabilizing it. Its compressive effect is a step up from its

ancestor, the leather wrist band.

ROLE OF THUMB GUARDS

Heat forming allows the THUMB GUARD to fully adapt to the anatomy of the thumb column for optimum protection and

controlled freedom of motion.

CONVENTIONAL WISDOM 10 «I twisted my thumb...it’s no big deal, it will go away!»

Any severe thumb sprain requires medical attention; the most serious cases may need surgery. No matter what,

you must be very careful when you resume activity because the damaged joint remains very unstable. This is one

more reason to think ahead and protect yourself.

MUSCLESMuscle injuries

Regardless of the sport or physical activity, the risk of muscle injury is always present. 90% of muscle incidents involve the quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors or calf muscles.

There are:

- Cramps, aches and spasm: no muscular lesion, but the muscle hurts and is sometimes hard.

- Contusion: a direct shock to the muscle that can cause an anatomical lesion to the muscle fi ber.

- Elongation (tearing of a few muscle fi bers), strain (tearing of one or several fascicules) and complete rupture.

ROLE OF MUSCLE COMPRESSION

ZAMST products compress, support and warm the thigh (TS-1) and calf (CS-1) muscles. They improve muscle conditioning

and balance (agonist/antagonist).


«I strained a muscle; I should ice it.»

True. The R.I.C.E. protocol (see p. 8) should be a priority in the event of a strain, contusion or elongation.

However, cramps, aches and spasms should be treated with heat.

Tip: Fill your ZAMST Ice Bag with hot water instead of ice.

COMPRESSION

Physical activity causes your muscles to consume more energy and generate more waste than under normal circumstances. The delivery of oxygen and nutrients and the evacuation of toxins are particularly important during sports.

CALF’S PUMPING FUNCTION

The blood that fl ows to the foot is returned to the heart through the veins. Veins have valves that are opened and closed by muscle contraction and relaxation to send blood to the heart.

ROLE OF LC-1 CALF AND LC-1 OPEN TOE COMPRESSION STOCKINGS

Compression gradually decreases from the ankle to the knee to promote venous return and speed up recovery.

By delaying the onset of fatigue, the LC-1 products are real performance boosters.

ROLE OF THE ARM SLEEVE COMPRESSION SLEEVE

In addition to minimizing recovery time, gradual arm compression reduces needless, energy-consuming muscle

movement.

By enabling athletes to conserve their energy, the ARM SLEEVE is a precious ally in preventing the onset of fatigue,

which is a key comfort factor.
