“…3,13 Moreover, sweat may be handled by garment fabrics with properties such as moisture absorbency, air permeability, and water vapor permeability. Past studies 3,[14][15][16] indicated that overall perceived comfort improved during exercise when wearing sportswear with enhanced moisture management, increased air and water vapor permeability, higher thermal conductivity and increased moisture absorbency.…”

Purpose There is insufficient research to confirm whether wearing comfort can be accurately predicted by physiological responses during exercise when wearing sportswear with functionality. This review investigated the possibility of predicting subjective comfort based on material properties when selecting sportswear. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic review was performed in accordance with PRISMA. Two independent reviewers searched six electronic databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, and EMBASE, for experimental studies published between 1 January 2000 and 31 January 2022. The included studies were analyzed for their study characteristics and evaluated for their risk of bias level. Findings Twenty-five studies were selected from 5906 papers resulting from the initial searches. The results of the analysis suggested that considering factors beyond moisture management function in sportswear selection, such as type of activity, environment, individual habits, and prior experience, can help wearers better predict their comfort during exercise. Research limitations/implications: All included studies have a small sample size; the participants’ fitness level has not been properly defined and standardized; the dependent variables measured in these studies vary, and there is a lack of standard approach to measure comfort. Originality: The understanding and the correlation between wearing comfort and fabric characteristics is necessary because such relationships can be very complex. This review provides information to further advance our knowledge in understanding the dynamic interactions of the factors that may affect perceived comfort in selecting sportswear. A three-step conceptual framework consisting of material properties, physiological response, and comfort sensation is suggested to determine sportswear comfort.

“…16 Sportswear is a stretchy tight-fitting garment that provides athletes with the right pattern, elastic strain, and spatial comfort for physical activities. 17 And also, human body characteristics, biomechanical properties, fabric structure, and suitability are directly related to exercise time and athlete's wearing comfort. 18,19 The thermal and humid comfort of clothing depends on the number of layer properties and the air layer between the fabrics.…”

In this study, we optimized the design of functional running pants and innovated a stereoscopic seaming technology. The purpose of the study was to explore the thermal and humid comfort of the athletes during running by assessing the changes in skin temperature, surface temperature, and skin humidity of a subject during running. The results of the study suggest that during continuous incremental running speed exercise and sweating heavily, the surface temperature of the running pants and the skin temperature of the human body gradually approached before running, and remained basically in equilibrium. At 40 min, the skin humidity of a subject decreased significantly, and the sweat accumulated by the human body was absorbed and evaporated. The running pants in this study still exhibit better thermal conductivity and quick-drying properties as compared to the moisture-wicking and quick-drying running pants on the market. In addition, the running pants provide designed comfort that meets the needs of the exercising human body. They effectively address the problems such as abrupt lines, rubbing against the skin, and unsuited pattern. The application of moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric and the innovative 0.2 cm stereoscopic seaming technology creates pores between the separation line and the human body. This allows for effective airflow throughout the pants, promoting the evaporation of sweat from the legs, which can aid athletic performance to some extent. The results of the study confirm that the optimized running pants significantly improve human body comfort and offer practical advantages in terms of athletic performance.
