Abstract
The variables influencing the functional requirements of bicycle shorts in terms of providing support for movement were studied. In order to identify the movement fit design characteristics that specify the state of mechanical movement comfort for bicycle shorts used in indoor fit regimens and weight loss training, the pattern of interaction between the clothing and human body determined by 2D pattern proportions and fabric 's stretch property is examined. The study was performed in the scope of bio-mechanical movement comfort, a branch of ergonomics by observing stretch deformation and shear deformation during wear. In the context of the ergonomic view point, the study was carried out by verifying the compression pressure imparted by the clothing and analyzing the nature of stretch deformation across waist hip regions of human body. The role of fabric stretch property and concept of 2D pattern suppression that facilitates ideal mechanical fit design characteristics was ascertained through the analysis. Further the concept of pattern suppression’s influence in achieving more uniform compression pressure distribution is also concluded.
