Research progress of knitted sensors in the field of sports and fitness apparel
Journal Title: Wearable Technology - Year 2020, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Knitted sensor has the advantages of lightness, conformity, good strain tensile recovery and formability, which provides a possibility for flexible and non-inductive motion signal monitoring and smart wearable sports health clothing preparation. This paper reviews the preparation methods of knitted sensors, analyzes the influence of yarn types, fabric microstructure and tensile sensing direction on its sensing performance, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of knitted sensors in the fields of life and health, human movement and other fields. It is pointed out that the type, structure and weaving method of the conductive yarn are important factors affecting the performance and wearing comfort of knitted sensors, and the electrical characteristics of the two-dimensional extension and three-dimensional deformation in the strain stretching process of knitted sensors determine the effective strain sensing range. This paper outlines the development opportunities and challenges faced by knitted sensors in the field of sports and health clothing.
