Abstract

Sport is highly competitive, and there is a continual search for ways to improve performance. A good fit and comfort provided by activewear will be factors in performance, but providing good fit for the active position is challenging. This exploratory research is focused on creating half scale forms in active poses to facilitate activewear design, pattern making and fit testing. Digital data obtained from 3D body scanning in the active pose was reconstructed to create a valid body form as the basis for producing precise half scale body forms.
