Protection, comfort and performance apparel help exercises and sports activities
Protection, comfort and HELP THE PERFORMANCE THE CLOTHES IN THE EXERCISE AND SPORTS ACTIVITIES
Introduction
It is fairly typical of individuals to be in the proper clothing for sports that are involved in for obvious reasons, can meet the unique demands of sports. Clothing in life provides the design, comfort and security within the limits of modesty. Middlemas, (1997) says that the fabric adorn the body, hide the flaws and take high-clothes support. You can designate the person holding a degree or type of work performed or the origin of a person and loyalty. However, sportswear combines these functions and also the people or equipment different from one another depending on the sport. It also offers a psychological advantage or teams of well dressed people get inner satisfaction that creates a sense of feeling good, strengthening personality and self-esteem of the user (S.).
According to Watkins (1984), clothing is more intimate environment and making your unique environment is leading to all with the individual parts, creating their own room and its own climate weather in much of our environment. Therefore the need of sports clothing is important because the environment Sport is full of unique features that injuries occur.
There are certain situations where clothing is the best protection against impact. In the contact sports, the filling of the body provides the only protection or possible sources Garrick (1972), seen as a unique problem, and although you can not avoid completely the lesion producing situations, where contact with another player of the results of the alternative, he says, is to accept the inevitability of the situation of the lesions in sports and production effort to reduce the likelihood of actual injury. For example, football helmets, shields and to contain and disperse the force of contact body. Similarly, new technologies, such as the introduction of artificial turf took office and created the need to change clothes as a protection quickly and efficiently or means to prevent new types of injuries that began to appear. More importantly, higher sport activity requires a willingness to maximum freedom and safety clothing to improve circulation and check the impact on the contact. The fact is that if people do not fight against your clothes you can really do move.
Perceived clothing in sports
According to Garvin (2003), "The production increases the heat of the year. In an exercise in conditions of cold and heat, the dilemma is the dissipation of heat generated by muscle activity. Clothing generally represents a layer of insulation and taxed as such a barrier to heat transfer and evaporation from the skin surface. The problem of clothing in sports probably has captured the imagination fashion designers, sports psychologists and coaches for as long as any other problem on the ground. However, the scope of the field of garment design sports apparel for creating an approach that balances the creative process of strategic control and aesthetics. In response, a new type of designer clothing must emerge to provide innovative solutions to issues in sports clothing.
According to Watkins (1984), clothing in sport is seen as a scientific field covering the physical, psychology and kinesiology, which is closely allied to the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. Perhaps the greatest power Kinesiology offers a useful basis for the kinematic design clothing that covers the description of the variables in motion and not the factors that cause displacement. Thus, used clothing for specific sports should protect the skin against damage, preventing the body from heat and cold in contact and noncontact sports. Change the dressing, however, is based on the particular sport, weather, sometimes the social norms and values etc. For purposes of this work, the clothes in the sport is considered that does not end the matter, but covers the accompaniments or accessories such as shoes, socks, gloves, suspenders, a mask, helmet, shin guards, belts, etc. as required and provides in the rules governing sports and in accordance with standard specifications. Essentially, any modification of the conventional physical appearance is designed as clothing. For example, if a tennis player is in shorts and a white shirt, socks and bedding that shows the beauty of a unique set of kings and the queens, it would be fun to see a goalie in hockey in the mask, gloves, boots and a "large shin guards. Both garments are unique in tennis and hockey, respectively, offer protection, comfort and mobility, but accessories hockey goalie is giving additional protection to hide the shortcomings due to the hazardous nature of the game while trying to maintain an optimal circulation.
Gavin (2003) found "clothing may have a protective function by reducing heat gain by radiation and thermal stress. He said that recent research suggests that neither the inclusion of small amounts clothing, or changing clothes thermoregulation or thermal comfort during exercise in warm conditions. He suggested that future research should include conditions that more closely mimic conditions in the open, where labor rates high, large airflow and high relative humidity, can significantly affect thermoregulation.
Features clothing in sports
(a) Protection:
Clothing designed for use in sport is identifying critical areas of the body to provide maximum exposure for the necessary protection. The use of protective clothing is considered vital to ensure the safety of participants (DeJong, Ayers and Branson, 1985). The ability to protect the person or team remains paramount. The clothing worn for the specific task of sports should protect the skin from damage and prevent the body from heat and cod. Weather plays a role important in the choice of clothing. Therefore, the place of the coach or physical education instructor in the choice of fabric, should be protected the individual (s) / Weather team. However, the protection and movement are often in opposition to the sports team, because when the body is fully protected against impact, body movement is difficult or impossible and where the team of the limitations in sports No protection has often been sacrificed (Watkins, 1977).
(b) The convenience and mobility
Comfort and mobility are examined together because they are closely related and when one is aware that the key element in apparel in the sport is to maximize traffic (mobility), comfort and minimize discomfort generate, then the attempt to separate the two would fall. The ease of mobility refers specifically to comfort and functionality. Jaffe (1979), says the comfort and feel of the permeability of the material air and the amount of static electricity, thermal insulation and the movement of the limbs. Muscles, bones and joints work in unison with the system levers and mechanical forces that produce an advantage in the same way as other mechanical devices, machines sand can make the movement possible. Movement requires time, energy and space that are also dependent on age, health, sex, race, construction, packaging, fatigue, psychological factors – aesthetics and motivation can influence the degree of movement. Therefore, to measure the success of any protective clothing, and individual must be able to move easily in the garment, without undue effort.
Mobility is often reduced as increased protection in sportswear. Materials and rigid foams used in many articles sports equipment such as protective custody hip belt, hip, shin guards, chest protectors, and so keeps women confined movement in May. The possibility is that as more padding extent and speed of movement can be prevented (Watkinns, 1984). However May Clothing in sport always has been done with greater capacity to expand and contact with the body during movement thereby increasing mobility.
General criteria for sportswear
DeJong, Ayers and Branson (1985) noted that inadequate clothing left the team / person is exposed and cause acute and chronic effects of dermal exposure and adverse impact. Similarly Fayemi and Louise (1980), the feeling of being badly dressed for leisure, for example, a game of tennis or soccer can be very uncomfortable and ridiculous. In view of this, several authors (Peterson, 1977; Jaffe, 1979; Watkins, 1977, 1984, Dyson, 1971; Morchouse, 1971) have attempted to criteria for the use of f clothing in sports. A standard expression is given.
In cold environments, clothing which:
- Sea several layers of clothing made of thick fabrics or wear it over one another, so that layers of air spaces is a set of clothes. The thickness required may vary much physical activity the individual and the basic rate of body metabolism (BMR).
- Allow to air and water flow freely across the surface of body so the body can pass the moisture vapor in the environment and transpiration can be avoided.
- Absorb radiant energy from the environment and be no driver for the heat of the body are not made to the environment.
- Allow freedom of movement (so that your metabolism can be increased physical activity).
- Keep the core body, torso and head hot to send the excess heat through.
- Allow protection adjustable so that overheating caused perspiration can be prevented.
Gavin (2003), noted that most reports not affect the apparel fabrics in thermoregulation in the cold reports, has not yet been a demonstration effect and concluded that the manufacturing Apparel alter thermoregulation during and after exercise in cold, where the grid construction offers greater heat dissipation.
In hot environments, clothing which:
- Provide a minimum coverage and maximum ventilation at the base of the body.
- Prevent physical effort which would increase the metabolism.
- Being white or light colored to reflect sunlight to facilitate convection cooling and evaporation of sweat, if exercise outdoors.
- Be of materials that can absorb sweat.
- Such as to prevent heat stroke and exhaustion heat.
- Allow freedom of movement.
It is relevant Note that in hot environments, increasing the insulation of clothing Extra causing a more rapid increase in temperature during exercise and imposes a barrier to the evaporation of sweat (Gavin, 2003).
Conclusion
Clothing remains a vital area for the sport, regardless of how or heat acclimatized athletes are hydrated. This is the area with the fashion designers and manufacturers, athletes and coaches that users and other stakeholders in making motion studies of sports participation as safer possible. Sportswear offers protection, comfort and mobility and the achievement of these individuals, athletes and coaches should have sufficient knowledge of the selection and use ensure optimal movement pattern.The conclusion is that while the design of clothing in sport remains the preserve of fashion designers, knowledge proper selection and use of model to ensure optimal movement based solely on users.
