Abstract

Materials used in the sportswear production should be able to maintain heat balance and have adequate moisture management to respond to intense sweating during sports activity. Previous studies have shown that a professional football player sweats 2193 +/- 365 ml during a game. The distribution and absorption of liquid on the textile surface depend on the intermolecular interactions. Since the next-to-skin materials used in sportswear are mainly knitted structures, the inter-and intra- yarn porosity plays a key role in moisture management. This paper focuses on the study of materials used for professional football sportswear from a moisture management perspective and discusses the influence of porosity.
