Abstract
This work presents a systematic review to provide an overview of the possibilities for coupling, fabrication or embedding of electronics into textiles whilst assuring the capability of these products to meet the requirements of a sports modality. The development of smart wearables systems for sports based on textiles attracts more and more users – motivated by design, by technology, as well as by the expectation of increased performance. A bibliographic search was carried out using the following databases: Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore and Science Direct. This study includes 32 articles and discusses these in a new taxonomy with three dimensions: measured variable, types of feedback and applications. Of the 23 technologies surveyed, this review showed that these wearable systems are mainly used for vital signs monitoring and to provide feedback on the electrical activity of the heart, with sensors mostly placed in the chest. Usually, the technologies are externally attachable rather than embedded in the textile. We observed that the implementation of design as the process of development of e-textile products is still only scarcely present in these studies.
这项工作提供了一个系统的综述,概述了将电子产品耦合、制造或嵌入纺织品的可能性,同时确保这些产品能够满足体育模式的要求。基于纺织品的运动智能可穿戴设备系统的开发吸引了越来越多的用户,其动机是设计、技术以及对性能提高的期望。使用以下数据库进行了书目搜索:Scopus、Web of Science、IEEE Xplore和Science Direct。这项研究包括32篇文章,并在一个新的分类法中讨论了这些内容,包括三个维度:测量变量、反馈类型和应用程序。在调查的23项技术中,这项综述表明,这些可穿戴系统主要用于生命体征监测和提供心脏电活动的反馈,传感器大多放置在胸部。通常,这些技术是可外部连接的,而不是嵌入织物中。我们观察到,在这些研究中,设计作为电子纺织品开发过程的实施仍然很少。
