The Functional Performance of Brassiere in Sports Wear
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.4 Vol.4】
The proper amount of body fitness is needed for brassiere in sportswear. The functional performance of brassieres for sports and for custom wears are compared and investigated.
1. The equilibrium of three forces acting on band straps fastened on shoulders and breast respectively is researched. It was found that some of brassieres for sportswear are not well balanced.
2. The acceleration measured at bust point by the body accelerometer is often smallest of all any other points in nude body, however the contact pressure of brassiere measured at bust point by the pressure gauge is largest. This fact shows that the over pressure produced by tightening up brassiere is too severe to moderate fitting at bust point.
