This team apparel is very important for Cross Country which is a winter sport. They are equally important for the Track and Field season as well. Having these warm up suits will help the student athletes stay healthy before and after competition. The warmer the muscles are, the longer a body at rest retains freedom of movement without strain. This can easily be the difference between the capacity to easily stretch over an opponent and a pulled muscle. More than ten million injuries each year are caused by sports. Most of these injuries are from some trauma to muscles or joints, and are preventable by wearing the appropriate protective gear.
