Abstract

This article shows the research on compression knit fabric with the aim of designing upper body support garment to offer more comfort and prevent injuries in sports and leisure practices for female senior consumers. The study of the design of knitted sports and leisure clothing adapted for senior consumers is aimed at improving the physical and psychological comfort of the state of health and well-being for this specific population. In survey with 110 senior consumers carried out by the author in 2019, it was concluded that women's clothing for upper body support is more relevant in terms of the demand of senior consumers, and considering the many innovations offered by a multidisciplinary research team, different options for textures, surfaces, properties, aesthetic and functional results could be designed. Regarding knitwear garments, pieces come out practically ready from the machine. Using methods in product development design and engineering, we hope to present here research focused on garments for sports and leisure activities that truly meets the form and function needs of female senior consumers.
