Abstract

In order to regulate body temperature while guaranteeing the best possible comfort and performance during exercise, thermal insulation is a crucial component of sportswear design.Effects of thermal insulation in athletic wear:Preserve bodily heat: Thermal insulation helps keep body temperature stable between layers of athletic wear, making it more comfortable to engage in physical activity in cold conditions.Temperature Control: By reducing moisture and promoting airflow, thermal insulation helps keep skin hydrated and less painful.

Enhance athlete performance: Thermal insulation helps to create a cozy environment for the body, which enhances athletic performance and raises comfort levels when working out. Employing synthetic fibers and cutting-edge production processes to improve the thermal insulation qualities of sportswear is one way to improve its thermal insulation.

Multi-layer structure design: Multi-layer fabric composition can improve thermal insulation and strike a balance between comfort and freedom of movement.

Sustainable ventilation: Integrate ventilation techniques that help improve air circulation and provide effective ventilation without adversely affecting thermal insulation
