Technical Tool Overview: Sportswear Performance Calculator
This tool evaluates the Active Thermal-Mechanical Balance. In sportswear, the fabric acts as a “Second Skin” that must assist the body’s natural cooling and movement systems.
Functional Logic & Architecture
- The Stretch-Recovery Ratio: It measures Elastane (Lycra) density.
- Low Stretch (<5%): Good for joggers or loose shorts; high “Bagging” risk at the knees.
- High Stretch (>10%): Critical for compression gear; provides muscle support and reduces vibration fatigue.
- Wicking Efficiency: Unlike absorption (where fabric gets heavy and wet), Wicking uses capillary action to pull sweat to the outer surface of the fabric for rapid evaporation.
- Metabolic Load (Intensity): The tool penalizes the score if the fabric is used for an activity it wasn’t designed for (e.g., using low-wicking cotton for a 10km run).
Features & Capabilities
- Sleek 4px UI: Condensed for professional technical spec sheets.
- Dual-Metric Analysis: Analyzes both the mechanical (Stretch) and biophysical (Heat) properties simultaneously.
- Garment Tiering: Categorizes products into “Pro,” “Active,” or “Casual,” helping brands manage their catalog.
Industry Use Cases
- Fabric Selection: Helping procurement teams at Rangeen Jora choose the right synthetic blends for their activewear sub-brand.
- R&D Testing: Providing DIHOD Software House developers with the logic needed to build workout-tracking apps that suggest specific gear based on the routine’s intensity.
- Technical Marketing: Using the “Performance Score” on product landing pages to justify premium pricing for high-tech gear.
