Materials and Technology for Sportswear and Performance Apparel
takes a close look at the design and development of functional
apparel designed for high-performance sportswear. Implementing
materials, performance, technology, and design and marketing, the
book examines this rapidly emerging textile market and outlines
future directions and growing trends. The book begins by explaining
how a comfort-driven focus has led the industry to embrace knitted
fabric as a popular choice of constructional material. Using
examples of leading brands, it outlines the basic terminology,
structural details, and essential properties appropriate for
performance apparel, especially for sportswear. This book describes
the differences between woven and knitted structures, provides an
understanding of fabric behavior and the characteristics of a
functional garment, and outlines the importance of garment fit and
consumer perception of garment comfort in its design and
development. The authors present key research outcomes on the
design and development of functional apparel designed for
high-performance sportswear that explore smart materials,
impact-resistant fabrics and pressure sensing. They consider the
use of 3-D body scanning and its influence on pattern engineering
for apparel product development; highlight the widely used fiber
types for sportswear and the importance of fiber blends and their
performance, and discuss the relevance of fabric structure and its
interaction with the human body. The book also presents research on
moisture management and temperature regulation and analyzes the
performance and development of smart sportswear intended for
monitoring health and performance for a range of end uses. A

sportswear, this book: Describes how to design and develop
