“…The mechanism of compression is not completely understood till today, external pressure's response of the human tissues is still unknown partially. The elasticity of the compression garment has a great impact on the pressure applied on human tissues and the pumping function of the human muscle (Rossi, 2018). Franke et al (2021) studied the welfares of lower farthest point compression garments and had concentrated on post-exercise retrieval and performance enhancement of compression garments.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand compression garment in the area of medical industry, compression garments were used initially for patients with circulatory problems. External pressure was created by compression garments on the body surface which prevents blood clots, leg swelling and improves venous hemodynamics.Design/methodology/approachCompression rehabilitation is a significant element in the effective management of lower limb problems of people associated with venous, lymphatic, fat disorders like lipoedema.FindingsCompression garments have been attributed primarily for the increase in blood flow, improvement in recovery, reduction in muscle vibration that increase stability, improvement in thermoregulation, decrease in muscle pain, elimination of blood lactate and creatine kinase after exercise.Originality/valueCompression garments are extraordinary clothes that contain elastomeric yarns or fibers that are responsible for applying significant mechanical pressure on the required body surface for compressing, stabilizing and supporting underlying tissues.

Functional clothing refers to a genre of clothing that is developed to meet very specific and niche requirements of the end user. It is a result of interference of multiple domains of product development, such as technical textiles and other construction technologies. There are four basic requirements of any functional clothing namely physiological, biochemical, ergonomic and psychological. This paper focuses on the requirement-based classification of sportswear properties and how they have been used to improve the performance of the sportsperson.

“…In warm conditions, the main necessity is to cool down the body, therefore apparel is designed to allow the air flow between the body and the garments, while in cold environments the movement of air should be minimal [28]. Considering the sport of swimming, the optimization of the convective flux has not only the function of improving the heat exchange, but it can enhance the performance thanks to the better hydrodynamics [49]. With regard to the heat exchange through radiation, thermal insulation of the clothing can lead to a decrease of this heat flux, through the reduction of the temperature difference between the skin and the surrounding area.…”

“…In particular, color and texture of sport clothing are specifically relevant to the heat gain and loss through radiation [28]. For this reason, several studies have been performed in order to produce clothing with metallic coatings or finishing technology that can shield infrared radiation [49]. Finally, since evaporative heat loss is specifically relevant during sport activity, it is important to take it into consideration when designing sport garments.…”

In previous years, providing comfort in indoor environments has become a major question for researchers. Thus, indoor environmental quality (IEQ)—concerning the aspects of air quality, thermal comfort, visual and acoustical quality—assumed a crucial role. Considering sport facilities, the evaluation of the thermal environment is one of the main issues that should be faced, as it may interfere with athletes’ performance and health. Thus, the necessity of a review comprehending the existing knowledge regarding the evaluation of the thermal environment and its application to sport facilities becomes increasingly relevant. This paper has the purpose to consolidate the aspects related to thermal comfort and their application to sport practice, through a deep study concerning the engineering, physiological, and psychological approaches to thermal comfort, a review of the main standards on the topic and an analysis of the methodologies and the models used by researchers to determine the thermal sensation of sport facilities’ occupants. Therefore, this review provides the basis for future research on the determination of thermal comfort in indoor sport facilities located in moderate environments.
