clothing designed specifically for sporting purposes. Also called sportswear or
sporttech. Fabrics used in sports of any kind are called sporttech. Sportswear
or functional clothing is clothing items that include shoes, sportswear and

frames for racquet frames, fishing rods, golf clubs and bicycle frames. Other
uses are balloon fabrics, parachute and paraglide fabrics and canvas fabric.

Recently, sensory implants
have been developed that provide complete control of body health during
exercise. Fabrics are also made of phase switches that give a cooling effect
during summer games. The New Zealand cricket team wears a black kit during
games that offer uncomfortable as the black color draws light and warmth. To
avoid overheating and to achieve a cooling effect, phase changers are wrapped
in fabric to make sports kits.
