adidas研發高科技泳裝系列

德國運動用品巨擘adidas持續研發具競爭力的新泳裝系列，能提升速度、舒適性及活動力。

今（2015）年11月的一場獨家活動上，adidas公開男女泳裝AdizeroXVI系列的三大特色：優化活動力、智慧型材料及符合生物特徵特有游泳動作的泳裝。

該系列產品耗時4年研發而成，將於明（2016）年2月推出。泳裝是以3D掃描游泳選手的身體，以進一步瞭解身體曲線，並開發出泳裝3D式樣的加工處理。

adidas未來部門主任Deborah Yeomans表示，該系列泳裝的布料、嵌條及緊身設計能提供運動員額外的活動力。同時，也被設計用來模擬身體的主要連結組織，協助維持姿勢與給予支持。

「布料、嵌條及合身度的結合能讓游泳的人在水中有更好的游泳位置，這對疲累的泳者來說尤其重要」，Yeomans補充表示。一般泳裝在水流通過身體不平之處時，會產生許多不穩定的水流。透過織物紋理及增加泳裝主要部位的波浪形狀，能使水流平順通過織物，減少阻力」。

隨著不同游法的特有動作，AdizeroXVI系列還提供客製化設計。舉例來說，為了滿足蛙式獨特的踢水動作，泳衣上的嵌條能支撐腳滑水時“向內掃”的動作，確保能提供自由、無拘束且有支撐性的活動。

ADIDAS LAUNCHES CUTTING-EDGE ADIZERO XVI

Supported by the brand’s leading athletes, Cesar Cielo, Michael Andrew and Allison Schmitt, the adizero XVI was unveiled at an exclusive event at the Muller’sches Volksbad in Munich.

adidas worked with biomechanics, physiologists, fabric and pattern experts, plus a global pool of elite adizero XVI freestyle jammer_AJ7079_Back adizero XVI freestyle jammer_AJ7079_Front adizero XVI freestyle open back_AJ7075_Back adizero XVI freestyle open back_AJ7075_Frontathletes to create the game-changing adizero XVI, enabling swimmers to achieve their maximum speed. The ground-breaking technology features three advancements; energy optimisation (X-TRA ENERGY), intelligent materials (X-TRA FLOW) and a stroke-specific biometric fit (X-TRA FIT).

X-TRA ENERGY: The adizero XVI works to optimise the swimmer’s energy, focusing it on propelling adizero XVI freestyle jammer_AJ7079_Back adizero XVI freestyle jammer_AJ7079_Front adizero XVI freestyle open back_AJ7075_Back adizero XVI freestyle open back_AJ7075_Frontthem through the water faster. The suit’s fabric, innovative bands and compressive fit work together to support the swimmer’s Kinetic Chain; the body’s series of interlocking joints, where one movement facilitates the next. The pioneering tape material offers 100% recovery, ensuring the swimmer’s expended energy is returned to optimise subsequent movements, for example pushing off the starting block.

X-TRA FLOW: Intelligent material and lightweight construction guarantee enhanced body position in the water. Strategically placed texturing of the fabric, the result of extensive wind tunnel testing, pushes water more smoothly over the swimmer’s body in the right direction so it doesn’t create as much turbulence.

X-TRA FIT: In an industry first, the adizero XVI offers bespoke design for the unique movements of different swimming strokes. Stroke-specific moderations ensure a precision fit, facilitating athletes’ transition through the water. For example, to cater for the unique kick of the breaststroke, adidas bands shaped to support the “insweep” phase, ensure free, non-restricted and supportive movement.
