Passion for sports

liiteGuard was founded by a former professional football player Christopher Geertsen and a sports physiotherapist Nicklas Falkesgaard. Their mission was to create products that prevent and solve the most common sports-related injuries, that many athletes are facing. Understanding the connection between the sports equipment and athletes’ performance comes from many years of personal commitment to professional sport from different perspectives. Knowledge is based on the founders own first-hand experiences, shared insights, and ambitious product development.

liiteGuard aims to spread a “more sport, more joy” message through their innovative and uncompromising sportswear products that meet the expectations of a demanding customer, be it an elite athlete or an enthusiastic amateur

“For us sport is more than just an activity. It’s a way of life that we want to cherish. Our products are designed to help athletes and enthusiasts stay healthy and reach their full potential, regardless of their skill level. We want to be at the forefront of sports brands that prioritize athlete wellbeing”,

Designed for running and active training, GLU-TECH TIGHTS feature innovative elastic hip stabilizing waist, which activates the gluteal muscles and supports lower back for better running position and prevention of hip, knee, and foot injuries. Patent pending construction was tested by a thesis study in Aalborg University with good results: the average internal rotation of the hip was reduced by 46% and the hip inwards (adduction) movement was reduced by an average of 5.4%. The study also revealed that the lateral pelvis drop, which refers to which extend the hip is moved or dropped to the side during the stance phase in running, was reduced by 12% in average.

Additionally, the compression material of the tights supports the muscles and improves blood flow during the exercise. Four-way stretch fabric with good moisture wicking properties, flat seams and hidden side pockets ensure the ultimate mobility and comfort.

“One of the most common causes of knee problems is weakness or instability in the hip. A study in a thesis project carried out at Aalborg University indicates that these tights genuinely improve hip stability by reducing the internal rotation of the hip and inward movement during a run, directly addressing the infamous runner’s knee issue” Christopher Geertsen explains.
