Abstract
The study aimed to analyze whether the high compression of unique, tight-fitting sportswear influences the clothing physiology comfort of the athlete. Three specific sportswear with different compression were tested on four subjects while they were running on a treadmill with increasing intensity. The compression effect of the sportswear on the body of the test persons, the temperature distribution of the subjects, and the intensity of their perspiration during running were determined. The results indicate that the compression effect exerted by the garments significantly influences the clothing physiology comfort of the athlete; a higher compression load leads to more intense sweating and higher skin temperature.
Highlights
Companies develop advanced high-tech, often high-compression sportswear for professional athletes [1,2,3,4,5,6]
(The detailed pressure values for each test person and sportswear at each measurement point are provided in the Appendix A, Table A1)
The average pressure values show that the compression of Made-to-measure Sportswear 2 is higher for each test person than in the case of Made-to-measure Sportswear 1 and that the compression of garments constructed with the same amount of reduction in body size is about the same in the case of each test person
Summary
Companies develop advanced high-tech, often high-compression sportswear for professional athletes [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Researches show that such sportswear can increase the performance of the athlete [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. During the Industrial Revolution, the textile industry started to develop at a tremendous rate, and so rich people could afford a garment or garments intended for sport. The demand for women’s sportswear started the development of sportswear, continuing intensively to this day [19,20,21,22]
