Abstract: The present invention relates: to a piece of sports and leisure clothing, having a geometric pattern thereon, wherein the geometric pattern comprises at least one base item having a base boundary that forms the contour of the base item, a surrounding area that encompasses the base item, wherein the surrounding area is divided into a plurality of subareas, and a plurality of images, wherein within each subarea of the plurality of subareas at least one image of the plurality of images is disposed, such that the base boundary is visually defined by the plurality of images.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for generating shock waves that includes an interchangeable applicator head for generating shock waves for treatment of human or animal bodies, which applicator head includes a reflection or focusing mechanism, two electrode tips for producing a spark gap, and a membrane, which together with the reflection or focusing mechanism encloses a fluid medium that is designed to generate a plasma when a voltage between 1 kV and 30 kV is applied. According to the disclosure, the applicator head is electrically and mechanically connected to a hand-held apparatus in a detachable manner.
