BIOMECHANICS

BIOMECHANICS APPLIED TO THE HUMAN BODY

Biomechanics is the science that studies human movement to optimize it, making physical exercise not only more pleasant, but also healthy and free from 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 SEARCH FOR WELL-BEING AND PERFORMANCE

Acting on biomechanical principles means acting on the health of the body and on 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 performance improvement and guaranteeing the prevention of injuries during physical activity, bringing well-being and performance to those who practice.

A CONSOLIDATED SCIENTIFIC APPROACH

The technical and scientific consultant for FLOKY is Dr Mauro Testa, an international point of reference for 30 years in the study of ergonomics, posture and biomechanical science.

With 330 patents under his belt, Dr Testa has always believed in research as a vehicle for innovation. In 1994 he began collaborating in sports environments to contribute to continuous improvement in the various disciplines through the application of biomechanical principles in protections, flooring and sports clothing and equipment.

He is the contact person for the main Italian football clubs and has been responsible for the biomechanics performance area of all the Italian national football teams in 2017.

On behalf of Mondo Spa he developed a new athletics track for the 2008 Beijing World Cup, the same due to the incredible sporting results obtained (36 records) and preventive ones (zero injuries among athletes). Also for the Tokyo track it has contributed to providing data, analyzes 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 the possible sources of injury and improve performance.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION

Doctor Testa, born in Turin in 1959, graduated in Sports Science with 110 cum laude and a University specialization course in Sports Psychology, was the technical-scientific manager of the ErgovisionLab, an innovative laboratory of industrial and sports ergonomics and biomechanics where new plastic, textile, thermoplastic and metallic materials have been developed in order to improve comfort and safety.

Over the years he has carried out various teaching activities at the best Italian universities and is the owner of Ergoconsult, an ergonomic and biomechanical consultancy company. He has always believed in research as a vehicle for innovation, and from here he owns numerous patents for footwear, clothing and items for personal health. He therefore became a technical consultant for major brands such as Chicco, Eminflex, Healthcare-dr. Scholl's, Clarks and many others.

In 2002 he received the honor from the President of the Republic of "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 this great guru of biomechanics, who has implemented numerous scientific tests to support the fact that Floky socks really bring the benefits we always talk about: better performance, protection from injuries and speed of recovery.
