The Principle Of Layering In Sportswear . September 24, 2019 at 10:12 am
Cotton trousers, same shirt, same socks – it would seem that all you need for a successful workout? Only the desire and work, we told ourselves, and ran through the school stadium, where the evening trying to stretch their legs and to support its former shape. All of us, the people who came from Soviet childhood, had no idea: How, Where, and, most importantly, what else can you train. We sweated and froze, but stubbornly went to the goal – to overcome themselves. And it is these most Soviet times, in different countries began to develop military clothing, providing an optimum microclimate. Over time, these developments have been implemented in the sphere of production of sportswear. However, not all sports clothes have the same functionality.
We recommend that you follow the principle of sandwich in sports gear. The first layer – ventilating – underwear. It’s closer than other types of sports clothing is adjacent to the body, and, thanks to the special structure of the fabric, underwear quickly absorb all the excess moisture has accumulated on the surface of the body and displays it on its surface. As a result – a dry shirt, which does not stick to the body, and during the cooling does not give him a supercool, the pores of the body “breathe”, nothing too tight and rubs (as most thermal underwear made a seamless method). When the outside air temperature from +25 to +30 C only the first layer – mesh shirts and shorts. Of course, do not forget about special sports shorts and tops for the maintenance of the breast (for women). At a temperature of from +16 to +22 C, you can use Tait. In cooler weather – from +10 to +16 C suit sport trousers, combined with tighter T-shirt.
The second layer – insulating – fleece. Fleece is a kind of insulation – protects the body from hypothermia, warm in cold weather. Moisture from the first layer – thermal underwear is quickly absorbed into the second layer and also rapidly evaporates from the surface, moving into the third layer of clothing. Flies, being very light material, not the shackles of motion and does not increase the weight of the athlete. Fleece shirt will be needed at a temperature of -5 to +10 degrees and below. Just released pants and fleece. The third layer – Windproof – jackets, trousers, track suits. It is indispensable, because it is thanks to the top layer creates a complete system of comfort for the body. The upper layer of protection not only from wind but also from dirt, rain and snow. Modern sports pants are equipped with special cuts and darts for improved mobility knee. Blazers hide behind their apparent lightness and subtlety of protection from the wind. When the outside air temperature of -5 to +16 C as a windproof clothing can also be used sports vests. So, to summarize: The body is dry, warm, and not subjected to aggressive environmental effects. Remember that all 3 layers of sportswear work differently. Each of them is your comfort health during training. Stay in shape!
