Abstract:Compression socks have an effective role in the performance activity of athletes. This study aims to quantify the effect of fiber materials and structure on physical, mechanical, thermo-physiological, sensorial, and ergonomic comfort on sports graduated compression socks (SGCS). Two natural fibers, cotton and viscose, and two synthetic fibers, Coolmax and acrylic, were used to develop three different types of SGCS. Data have been analyzed by full factorial design of experiment. The finding exhibited that Coolm… Show more
