Also called Sportswear or activewear is clothing, including footwear, worn for sport or physical exercise. Sport-specific clothing is worn for most sports and physical exercise, for practical, comfort, or safety reasons.
They include swimsuits (for swimming), wet suits (for diving or surfing), ski suits (for skiing), and leotards (for gymnastics). Sports footwear includes trainers, football boots, riding boots, and ice skates. Sportswear also includes bikinis and some crop tops and undergarments, such as the jockstrap and sports bra. Sportswear is also at times worn as casual fashion clothing.
It helps to keep the wearer comfortable during exercise. For example, Yoga clothing should use fabrics with the exceptional stretch ability for easy movement which will likely require the fabric to be of a knitted construction.
Apparel for long-distance running will keep the wearer in good comfort if it has excellent moisture-wicking properties to enable sweat to transfer from the inside to the outside for the garment.
Gym wears are typically designed to be lightweight so as not to encumber the wearer.
On the other hand, sportswear should be loose enough so as not to restrict movement.
•Spandex is the preferred material for form-fitting sportswear, such as used in wrestling, track & field, dance, gymnastics, speed skating, and swimming.
