Description
Summary:Compression sportswear is specialized clothing chiefly designed for the athletes muscle fatigue reduction. Compression stockings are widely used in sportswear to support muscles and control excessive body vibrations. Compression/interface pressure between the wearer and stocking's surface is considerable in compression sportswear efficacy. However, thermo-physiological comfort is also influential while preparing summer sportswear. The research investigates the effect of fibers type and the inlay yarns number of covering filaments on compression, air permeability, water vapor permeability, and thermal resistance of sportswear compression stockings. Three different fibers, sorbtek (channelized polyester), nylon 6, and micro Nylon (polyamide-6), have been used as main yarns. Also, three distinct levels of covering yarn number of filaments have been utilized. Data have been statistically analyzed using full factorial design of experiment and regression analysis to predict fiber type and the number of covering yarn filaments for achieving desired comfort properties without compromising compression characteristics.
