BIOMECHANICS

BIOMECHANICS APPLIED TO THE HUMAN BODY

Biomechanics is the science that studies human movement to optimize it, making physical exercise not only more enjoyable, but also healthy and free of the risk of injury. The idea of applying this science has allowed FLOKY to create revolutionary and innovative products capable of acting on performance and health with an added value: making the wearer feel good.

BIOMECHANICS

THE PURSUIT OF WELL-BEING AND PERFORMANCE

Acting on biomechanical principles means acting on the health of the body and athletic performance. Thanks to the development of innovative screen printing techniques, conceived on the principles of Biomechanics, FLOKY has created revolutionary products for the world of sport capable of promoting the improvement of performance and ensuring the prevention of injuries during physical activity, bringing well-being and performance to those who practice it.

A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH CONSOLIDATED

Technical and scientific advisor for FLOKY is Dr. Mauro Testa, an international reference in the study of ergonomics, posture and biomechanical science for 30 years.

With 330 patents to his credit, Dr. Testa has always believed in research as a vehicle for innovation. He began collaborating in sports circles in 1994 to contribute to continuous improvement in the various disciplines through the application of biomechanics principles in protections, flooring, and sports clothing and equipment.
He is a contact person for major Italian soccer clubs and was responsible for the biomechanics performance area of all Italian national soccer teams in 2017.

On behalf of Mondo Spa, he developed a new athletics track for the 2008 World Championships in Beijing, the same because of the incredible sporting results achieved (36 records) and preventative results (zero injuries among athletes). Also for the Tokyo track, he helped provide data, analysis and information on the biomechanics and functionality of the body in contact with the new synthetic products used for the tracks in order to lower possible sources of injury and improve performance.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION

Dr. Testa, born in Turin, Italy, in 1959 , a degree in Exercise Science with 110 cum laude and an advanced university course in Sports Psychology, was the technical and scientific head of the ErgovisionLab, an innovative industrial and sports ergonomics and biomechanics laboratory where new plastic, textile, thermoplastic and metal materials were developed in order to improve comfort and safety.

He has done several teaching activities over the years at top Italian universities and is the owner of Ergoconsult, an ergonomic and biomechanical consulting firm. He has always believed in research as a vehicle for innovation, hence he owns numerous patents for footwear, clothing and personal health items. He therefore becomes a technical consultant for major brands such as Chicco, Eminflex, Healthcare-dr. Scholl’s, Clarks and many others.

In 2002, he was honored by the President of the Republic as “Cavaliere all’Ordine del Merito della Repubblica Italiana” (Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic ) and has participated in numerous world-renowned scientific congresses.

Floky is therefore fortunate to have the support of this great biomechanics guru, who has implemented numerous scientific tests in support of the fact that Floky socks really do provide the benefits we always talk about: improved performance, preservation from injury and speed of recovery.
