Abstract
The project sought the identification and analysis of the knowledge that currently exists on sports suits of the BMX. A bibliographic analysis of scientific and technical journals of the sector was carried out; panels and interviews were carried out with athletes, coaches and experts. Non-participatory observations were carried out in real context to determine aspects of the practice, such as the studies of the assumed positions, career points of more tension, pledge-user-practice behavior, etc. In addition, companies and products of the market were tracked to know technical, functional, perceptual, and other peculiarities about the sports suit. Subsequently, an analysis of the regulatory in the BMX-clothing was made. In this phase, techniques and tools for the analysis of usability, aerodynamics, postures and other information were developed to understand the pledge-user relationship. The intention of this proposal is to expose the requirements for the design of clothing for the practice of BMX.
