하이테크 기능성 액티브 스포츠웨어의 소재경향에 관한 연구

Abstract

The outcome of modern sports events are reliant on not only the athletic ability and technology of individual players but their sportswear proterties. State-of-the-Hitech sportswear has started to be introduced in the 1950s, and in addition to the athletic capability of players, sportswear is one of the primary factors to affect the results of sports games, as a wide variety of Hi-Tech functional materials have come out since the 1990s.The purpose of this study was to development into the concept of active sportswear, to sort out hitech functional product lines in this field, to look into sports stars and Hi-Tech functional sports brands, and finally to identify the major characteristics of recent active sportswear.The result of this study were as follows:1. There were largely four characteristics in recent functional sportswear materials: fast-drying cooling, minimized resistance, ultralight comfortableness, and water vapor permeable/waterproof function.2. Besides the athletic capability and technology of players, Hi-Tech functional products are one of the major factors to determine the outcome of modern sports events. Functional synthetic fiber is preferred, instead of cotton, since the former is easier to manage and retains humidity better.3. The major features of recent trend in active sportswear products are , functional, diversity and value. That is, those products are functional, since they are easy to manage and retain proper humidity, and they are for multipurpose, since they are fashionable and practical at the same time. And they are valuable, being expensive but appropriate for the movement of the body and having a high quality.
