Kapsul ATLAS fills the gap in protective gear between the torso and head with
technology built on industry-leading research into neck biomechanics. Kapsul's
Built-in Dynamic Neck Stabilization Technology provides neck support and
stabilization without impacting an athlete's range of motion or mobility by
dissipating forces during play to help mitigate the risk of injury, pain or
strain.
The neck plays a critical role in athletic performance and Kapsul's proprietary
technology is built on years of research with athletes of all ages and skill
levels in multiple sports. While neck support and protection is crucial for all
athletes, Kapsul's research also identified two groups that strongly benefit
from additional protection— younger athletes whose muscles and bones are still
developing and female athletes who typically have longer necks with lower
muscle density.
Throughout their careers, athletes experience repetitive G forces that can
cause force and fatigue damage to the muscles and tissues of the neck. The
average G force of an airplane takeoff is 0.4G—the average hit in football is
103 Gs. In addition to mitigating these forces, Kapsul ATLAS can also reduce
muscle fatigue and fatigue-related injuries, which empowers athletes to play
and train longer.
"Kapsul ATLAS is the culmination of years of innovation, design and testing,
with some of the world's top athletes and government funded military research.
Our team is excited to unveil this new model of protection and performance to
the world of sports, power sports, safety and service," said Dr. Daryl Sherman,
CEO, Kapsul Tech Corp. "The neck is the perfect starting point to demonstrate
this new model that supports joints through a full range of motion without
performance deficit." Dr. Daryl Sherman, CEO, Kapsul Tech Corp.
Bringing the Kapsul ATLAS to market required new testing methods since research
on neck performance in sports lags behind other body parts. Kapsul conducted
joint research with the Canadian Military and the University of Waterloo
creating an FEM (Finite Element Model) using the Global Human Models
Consortium. The GHMC is a clinically validated model that responds to forces in
the same way the human body does. Unlike commonly used test dummies, this
allows for an unprecedented level of detail, taking into consideration: soft
tissue, skeletal structure, musculature and fluids during imposed forces. This
is the form of testing also used by many major car manufactures.
The Kapsul ATLAS is available in men's, women's, and junior sizes and is
available for purchase starting at USD 79.99. For more information, please
