  4. Abstract:
  5. With the development of modern sports, the design and production of sportswear play an essential role, especially in many modern difficult and dangerous sports. Selection of fibre fabrics is the most important factor because this influences the performance and efficiency, while ensuring protection and physical comfort. In recent years, the demand for smart materials and textiles has been increasing all around the world. Many investigations have been carried out into developing smart textiles that support the better performance of athletes. A smart textile is an intelligent system that is able to sense environmental conditions and electrical, thermal, mechanical, chemical, and magnetic stimuli. In this chapter, firstly, the principles of smart textiles, including materials and production technologies, are reviewed. Then, comfort, protection, and recent advances in sportswear technology are described. Finally, sustainable material considerations in sportswear design and future sustainability issues are analysed. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
