Summary
In this study, various knitted fabric structures were designed to help preventing muscular difficulties in sports. The samples, containing channels in widthwise direction, were produced by jacquard knitting technique. The effects of channel size and quilted inlay design were investigated in terms of pressure behaviour, thermal and water vapour resistance. Increasing of channel size and adding inlay yarns provided higher thermal resistance, as well as an increase in water vapour resistance, they also significantly affected pressure characteristics of samples.
