Motion Responsive Sportswear is the next big thing in the world or sports of Fitness

motion_responsive_t_shirt.jpgOver the years there has been so many revolutionary designs and innovations in the world of sports and fitness. Kerri Wallace is a designer from the United Kingdom who is set to take it a notch higher. She wants to use motion responsive textiles to do this. Her research project 'Motion Responsive Sportswear' is using the correlation between heart rate and body temperature as a trigger for the visual representation of the activity level by changing the color pattern of sports apparel. We might not think that textiles play a big role in the world of sports and fitness, but in reality they do. This has been proven time and again. Kerri's Motion Responsive Sportswear takes the visualization of heart rate / body temperature by changing the colors of sports apparel which are printed with temperature specific thermo-chromic and thermo-chromic liquid crystal inks.

More and more designers are jumping on this bandwagon. I'm sure sports enthusiasts all over the world will be very interested in Kerri's Motion Responsive Sportswear.
