THE EFFECTS OF FABRIC STRUCTURES PARAMETTERS AND ADDED DIMENSIONS ON THE COMFORT OF FREE MOVEMENT AND FITNESS OF AEROBIC CLOTHES

Abstract

The comfort of free movement and fitness are important characteristics of the clothes. The study of factors, which affect on the comfort of free movement and fitness, contributes to build the basis for the design of clothes. This paper introduces the effects of Cotton-Spandex Single knitted fabric structure parameters and the added dimensions on the comfort of free movement and fitness of the Aerobic clothes. The fabric structure parameters were determined according to TCVN standards. Expert method is used to evaluate the comfort of free movement and fitness of the Aerobic clothes. The relationships between the comfort of free movement, fitness and the added dimensions are constructed using Bayesian Model Average method. The results showed that existing multi-linear relationships between the added dimentions in bust, waist and hip and the comfort of free movement and fitness (R2 = 0,899÷0,989). The comfort of free movement and fitness of the Aerobic clothes are affected significantly by the added dimensions in bust, waist and hip.
