Textiles in sport is divided into five parts. Part One explores the current
sportswear market, starting with a market overview then going on to look at
current design, material requirements and functional footwear. In Part Two
the innovative fibres and fabrics available are outlined, including high
performance and high functional fibres, smart and intelligent textiles and
coated and laminated textiles. Part Three focuses on the need for comfort
in sportswear. The physiological comfort of sportswear can affect not only
a wearer's wellbeing but also his performance. The role of elastic can also
play a part in providing comfort, through minimising the garment's
resistance to the wearer's movements. The important issue of protection is
looked at in the next section, with chapters on impact protection,
protection against the cold and water resistance and water vapour transfer.
Finally, part Five offers outlines of specific applications, with case
studies of textile composites, textiles in sailing and textile use in
sports shoes.
Written by a distinguished editor and an international team of authors from
the cutting edge of textile research Textiles in sport is invaluable for a
broad range of readers ranging from scientists, designers and technical
staff at academic institutions, biomedical researchers, material buyers,
designers and product development staff working in companies that
manufacture sportswear to serious sportspersons.
