Özet
The importance of sports and active sportswear has increased worldwide. Comfort, functionality, and attractive design are the main characteristics that every sportswear should fulfill. All these characteristics significantly affect the performance and efficiency of active athletes. Since undisturbed mobility is required in sports, clothing should be fully adapted to the athlete’s body. Knitwear is most often used to make sportswear due to its good permeability to water vapor, elasticity, and stretchability. As a result, in recent years the demand for knitted fabrics has risen sharply. Among the listed properties, a very important property of sportswear is the resistance of the material to abrasion. Abrasion resistance of textiles is a complex phenomenon, and the properties of the fibers are affected by the yarns, the fabric structure, and the finishing processes. Abrasion resistance has a direct effect on the usable properties of the product. The direct effect of abrasion under the action of mechanical friction reduces the quality of the product itself, damages it, encourages pilling, fades, etc. This study aims to investigate how simulated outdoor wear, which dominantly refers to the abrasion process, affects the properties of a series of sportswear materials intended for use by a professional football player. The simulation of wear is performed using the AquAbrasion tester. In the study, the tensile properties of a selected set of materials were tested before and after the simulation on the AquAbrasion tester. In order to observe differences between different actions of the forces, both strip and ball burst methods are used. The results of the material elongation and acting forces are further discussed and brought into the context of material properties and final use by a professional athlete. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
