improving sports performance and injury avoidance

Sportswear brand MediCaptain has launched its first crowdfunding campaign to introduce its latest athletic apparel to the market. Designed by entrepreneur Yaqub Najimi, the MediCaptain Ultimate with all-in-one protection is a patent-pending solution that integrates all crucial protective components tailored for athletes. The range of products is initially intended to cater to soccer players, however, their adaptability makes them suitable for a variety of sports where traction, shock resistance, and grip are key aspects of optimal performance.

Najimi reflects on personal experiences, recalling injuries sustained during his youth which led him to address vulnerabilities in athletic footwear with this range. The metatarsal region of the foot, susceptible to injuries during high-intensity activities, was a particular concern. Impact from boot spikes, for instance, can result in severe injuries such as metatarsal fractures, bone bruises, and even lasting nerve damage. MediCaptain’s response is a flexible silicone padding that envelops the metatarsal area, providing a much-needed protective barrier.

MediCaptain’s size range spans from S to XL. The brand has chosen Kickstarter as its launchpad, aiming to secure $4,000 in funding. Early supporters are offered an incentive — a $25 discount on a pair of MediCaptain Lite Grip Socks, coupled with complimentary delivery within the United States.
