Sažetak
The Cambridge Dictionary states that sportswear is "clothes that are worn for sports or other physical activities." The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines sportswear as "clothing suitable for recreation" and more broadly as "clothing designed for casual or informal wear." According to the Macmillan Dictionary, sportswear in British means "clothes used for playing sport" while in American it means "casual clothes" Recently, the term "athleisure" has also been used, combining the terms "athlete" and "leisure." On the one hand, athletic-inspired clothing is now standard everyday wear, especially among the younger generation. On the other hand, the sports industry encompasses a wide range of functional and protective activewear that borders on technical textiles in its properties and performance. Both recreational and competitive sportswear have become increasingly sophisticated due to rapid developments in fibre and fabric technology, modern garment construction methods and seamless knitting techniques. These influences have translated into products ranging from extreme sports and adventure travel to corporate and casual wear. In sports, recreational athletes often use advanced equipment that is identical or similar to that worn by competitive athletes because it offers better performance and greater safety. A new concept such as "bodymapping" is ideal for professional and amateur sports. Bodymapping clothing can be additionally treated to offer antimicrobial, anti-odour, and moisture-management properties to provide true multifunctionality. Smart textiles and clothing have much more dynamic properties than conventional textiles and clothing. "Passive smart textiles, " which do not change their properties in response to changing environmental factors, have been perfected by integrating electronics into their structure, resulting in "active smart textiles." Sporttech is the intersection of sports and modern technology, which can be used as a platform for the success of textile/clothing brands.
