“…Therefore, the wetsuit must fit the diver's body shape adequately. Currently, more than 60% of Chinese diving enthusiasts are females under 30 years old, and 58% of purchasers of diving goods are female; female and elderly divers attach great importance to the functionality of wetsuits [3].…”

At present, the traditional mode of research and development for mass-produced wetsuits usually requires repeated sample making and try-on evaluation, and performance cannot be predicted, monitored and evaluated in real time; this can lead to problems including low material utilization and production efficiency. In this study, real human body static and dynamic measurements, material properties and structure data are applied through 3D software to build an accurate virtual model, and new wetsuits are designed through simulation, optimization and evaluation. The static and dynamic fitting performance above and underwater is comprehensively evaluated in virtual and real environments, and it is proved that the virtual development mode can accurately and effectively guide the development and evaluation of wetsuits, and can meet personalized comfort and functional requirements today. This simulation evaluation method avoids repeated sample preparation, some unnecessary waste of materials and environmental pollution, and improves manufacturing efficiency.

This study forged an interdisciplinary design partnership between an apparel designer, biomechanical kinesiologist, and a professional female athlete to design and test a novel new upper body performance garment for improved fit, mobility, comfort, donning/doffing and throwing performance in female professional athletes. Researchers collaborated to address garment functionality and performance during the multi-phase prototyping design process. The final designed performance top was tested against a control for satisfaction differences with fit, mobility, comfort, donning, and doffing, along with throwing performance utilizing a mixed methods questionnaire and motion capture equipment. Open-ended questions were analyzed with content analysis, while quantitative measures utilized ANOVA and independent t-tests. Results indicated the designed performance top had higher fit satisfaction and more optimal positioning during the overhead throw when compared to the control garment, with no difference in comfort or mobility, and the designed top had lower donning and doffing satisfaction. The designed performance top illustrates the need for further research in increasing satisfaction in donning and doffing with bust/bra satisfaction in performance garments and future research to better understand the psychological sensory cues in posture cueing garments.
