Ultimate guide to activewear

The choice of sportswear involves paying particular attention to the material that constitutes them. The technology makes it possible to make a range of comfortable sportswear that can boost performance. The concept of safety also plays a big role in the development of today's sportswear.

Smart textiles adapted to sport
Whether running, fitness, sailing or skiing for example, there is a suitable sportswear, designed in a highly innovative technical material.

The new generation of technical materials are able to fight against bad odors due to excessive perspiration , to regulate the body temperature, and even to evacuate the heat that the body produces during the intensive practice of a sport.

Others filter the ultra-violet rays, thus constituting a real protection during sporting activities practiced outside. Still others isolate the athlete against low outside temperatures, making the winter sport much more enjoyable.

The fans of the pool have jerseys that enhance their figure with silicone beads. But swimming outfits are also able to reduce friction while making swimmers' leg and arm movements even more efficient.
 

Chemistry at the service of sport
If we manage today to offer such clothes to fans of the sport, whether they are professionals or simply amateurs, it is thanks to chemistry. 

It is therefore with regard to the use of a sportswear that will be sought its specificities. The race for performance is one of the main concepts in the design of this type of equipment, as well as the safety of the sportsman and his comfort.

A good sportsman in his clothes is able to produce more effort and he feels less fatigue. Similarly, it must be protected in case of fall or shock, but also in case of fire.
The technical materials make it possible to optimize the endurance and the sportswear new generation are true "second skins".

The technical subjects to favor for sport  
With elastane , a garment imparts greater compression to the body. This results in an activation of blood flow, which has the effect of increasing muscle performance.

With this type of intelligent sportswear, the sportsman recovers more easily after a major effort. Elastane is also a so-called breathable material. It is a real ally during an intensive sports session .  

The Coolmax is on thermoregulation and wicks moisture to the outside. It is a material capable of drying in record time, keeping the athlete dry during the effort. Coolmax® should be preferred over nylon.

The Lycra is extremely comfortable while practicing a sport. Light, it is very extensible, which allows the athlete a great freedom of movement, whether in the aquatic environment or not.
Lycra® is also used to make underwear because it provides good support. And to withstand chlorine, the Lycra® XtraLife is unmatched in equipping swimmers.

The cotton , very comfortable and virtually tear-proof material absorbs a tenth of its weight in water. Thus, an athlete is not bothered by the feeling of moisture that can cause perspiration.
