Los Gatos, CA - ROCKTAPE, the leader in kinesiology tape for athletes, has added two new Triathlon-specific products to their series of Active-Recovery tape.

ROCKTAPE’s Active-Recovery (AR) series of tapes are designed to enhance performance and recovery, and engineered to meet the demands of endurance athletes like runners, swimmers and cyclists. Unlike regular compression garments and tapes, ROCKTAPE’s AR series can be used both to apply compression to promote recovery, or decompression to relieve pain and swelling.

The newest addition to the ROCKTAPE AR series is Instant Message tape, or IM TapeTM, which comes in two colors - IM Yellow and IM White. Both tapes are ‘message ready’. Using any black permanent marker, athletes can write race age or numbers on the tape, and families and friends can write personal messages on the tape as a way to show support.

Bend, OR - ROCKTAPE, the recently-introduced performance tape designed to help endurance athletes manage fatigue, was worn by over 50 cyclists competing at the Cascade Classic and USA Cycling’s Junior, U23 and Elite National Championships in Bend, Oregon this past week.

Capitalizing on the recent success at USA Cycling’s Junior Track Nationals, Rocktape has become the cycling community’s preferred choice for endurance tape. “ROCKTAPE is designed to promote better blood flow, lymph drainage and lactic acid removal and reduces muscle vibration, all of which combine to help athletes manage fatigue,” said Greg van den Dries, CEO of ROCKTAPE. “Our Power Taping Protocol enhances performance via specialized skin stimulation, and the protocol definitely had the intended effect for the athletes. With the unusually high temperatures in Bend this past week, the cyclists needed extra help managing fatigue, and Rocktape provided that extra boost.”

ROCKTAPE ROCKSTARS included Tejay Van Garderen, Coryn Rivera, Shelley Olds, Kendall Ryan, Dominique van den Dries, Ruth Winder, Zoe Frazier, Daniel Farinha, Andrew Lanier Jr., Cody Tapley, John Tomlinson, Jordan Cullen, Broderick Hartley and Matthew Valencia.

to help endurance athletes manage fatigue, was worn by six athletes who made over ten
appearances on the podium in this past weekend’s US Jr Track Cycling competition held at the
Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Worn by cycling professionals and rising stars, ROCKTAPE
is the preferred performance enhancement product for endurance athletes.

“ROCKTAPE is designed to promote better blood flow, lymph drainage and lactic acid removal
and reduces muscle vibration, all of which help athletes manage fatigue,” said Greg van den
Dries, CEO of ROCKTAPE. “ROCKTAPE is similar to other Kinesiology tapes that appeared in
the Summer Olympics, but its unique patent-pending “Power Plow” pattern, tighter weave and
stickier adhesive make it more appropriate for high impact and endurance sports.”
