[0002] Current designs for competitive compression sportswear largely rely on experience-based selection or single physical test results, making it difficult to achieve systematic and scientific drag reduction design tailored to individual athlete differences, speed ranges, and posture variations. Existing technologies mostly lack comprehensive fabric selection evaluation systems, multi-dimensional integrated evaluation models, and systematic design methods. This makes it difficult to fully utilize aerodynamic drag reduction efficiency in actual design, while also failing to effectively balance the garment's overall performance in terms of lightweighting, stretchability, compression characteristics, and wearing comfort. Consequently, problems such as poor drag reduction, mismatch between compression and muscle support functions, and poor fit may occur during actual exercise. Furthermore, existing design methods rely heavily on experience or simple experimental data, lacking systematic, multi-dimensional evaluation and optimization mechanisms, making it difficult to meet the personalized performance requirements of different sports, speed ranges, postures, and individual sizes.

The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained from the embodiments described and the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
[0018] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the evaluation and screening method in the embodiments of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0020] On one hand, this invention discloses a fabric evaluation and screening method based on multi-level performance indicators, including: S1: Based on the functional requirements of racing-type tight-fitting sportswear, a multi-level performance evaluation index system for fabrics is constructed. The evaluation index system includes at least primary and secondary indicators. The primary indicators are drag reduction performance, lightweight performance, tensile performance, and compression performance. The secondary indicators are quantitative evaluation indicators of the primary indicators. S2: The objective weights of quantitative evaluation indicators of relevant performance are determined by the entropy weight method based on wind tunnel aerodynamic test data and fabric multi-physical property test data; S3: The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to construct a judgment matrix based on expert cognitive evaluation to determine the subjective weights of quantitative evaluation indicators of relevant performance. S4: Based on the objective weights and subjective weights, the evaluation indicators are weighted and integrated to construct a comprehensive quantitative evaluation model for fabrics; based on the comprehensive quantitative evaluation model for fabrics, the candidate fabrics are evaluated and screened for performance, and used to guide the zoning configuration of fabrics.
[0021] In implementation, considering the fabric requirements of sportswear in this field, such as drag reduction, lightweighting, support performance, and comfort, the applicant decomposes the design-related performance of the fabric into four primary indicators: drag reduction, lightweighting, tensile performance, and compression performance. This achieves comprehensive quantification of the fabric's design-related performance, facilitating further evaluation. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to construct a judgment matrix through expert cognitive evaluation, introducing subjective weights for evaluation. Objective weights are introduced through the entropy weight method, enabling the evaluation of subjective performance such as comfort. This overcomes problems in traditional racing apparel design, such as poor drag reduction, mismatch between compression and muscle support functions, and poor fit. Simultaneously, the coexistence of subjective and objective evaluation indicators reduces data fluctuations and improves stability. It also maintains good stability and consistency for the personalized performance requirements of different sports, speed ranges, postures, and individual sizes, improving the overall stability and effectiveness of the design method.

This optimizes fabric selection and overcomes the problems of poor drag reduction, insufficient compression performance to meet muscle support requirements, and poor fit that exist in traditional methods for designing racing-type tight-fitting sportswear. It can meet the personalized needs of clothing for multiple working conditions and individual differences. While achieving high drag reduction, it is superior to conventional solutions in terms of gliding posture maintenance and motion continuity, which helps to improve power transmission efficiency and gliding stability. The core stability index for calculating center of mass shift and posture continuity is improved by 0.07 compared with existing technologies, and the proportion is improved by 8%.

[0031] Step S201 includes simplifying the geometry of each part of the human body into a cylindrical model, as shown in Table 1: Table 1. Cylindrical Model of Different Parts of the Human Body
[0032] Airflow boundary layer separation characteristic test: A low-speed wind tunnel was used to obtain the surface velocity gradient of each fabric model under different wind speeds. Combined with particle image velocimetry (PIV) technology, the circumferential angle corresponding to the flow separation point was accurately located. i and i 0.
[0033] Wind tunnel aerodynamic testing: A low-speed wind tunnel was used, and a three / six component force balance was used to measure the drag at different wind speeds to obtain the data for each fabric. F total,s , F total,0 , Fpressure,0 and F pressure,s .
[0034] F total,s , F total,0 It can be measured by a three / six component force balance. F pressure,0 and F pressure,s Local pressure difference resistance F pressure Calculated using the discrete integration method: ; Where, Δ θ Differential unit width =2~ 20° R Where is the radius of the cylinder.

[0035] The compression performance test in step S201 includes contact pressure test and tensile stiffness test.
[0036] Specifically, obtaining contact pressure P i include: Each fabric was attached to a cylindrical model, and detection points were set every 2° to 20° around the circumference of the cylindrical model. The contact pressure at each detection point was measured using a thin-film pressure sensor or a flexible contact pressure sensor. P θ,i The average and standard deviation of the pressure at each measuring point were obtained through repeated experiments. Based on the regional division, the pressure at the corresponding measuring points was averaged to obtain the contact pressure of the i-th region. P i Then, based on the preset target contact pressure and allowable deviation range, the contact pressure matching index is calculated: ; P i Let be the contact pressure measured in the i-th region of the fabric under the attached state; P ref The target contact pressure is preset according to the needs of the sport; This refers to the allowable deviation range of the contact pressure. Specifically, to obtain tensile stiffness K i include: Standard rectangular specimens are cut from each fabric along the warp or weft direction. Uniaxial tensile tests are performed on a standard tensile testing machine. The stress-strain curves of the fabric within the target working strain range are recorded. The ratio of stress increment to strain increment within this range is calculated to obtain the tensile stiffness. K i : ; σ1 and σ2 are the tensile stresses corresponding to strains ε1 and ε2, respectively, and t i Let be the fabric thickness of region i; Subsequently, based on the preset target tensile stiffness and allowable deviation range, the tensile stiffness matching index is calculated. M K,i : ; in, K i Let be the tensile stiffness of the fabric in region i within a preset strain range; K ref The target tensile stiffness is preset according to the requirements of the sport; This represents the allowable deviation range for tensile stiffness.
[0037] In step S202, the mass test involves weighing the unit area of each scheme using a 0.01% balance. m Thus, a unit quality consistency index is obtained. m i ’ ,include: According to GB / T4669-2008 or ASTM D3776 / D3776M, for the determination of unit area mass of fabrics, three square samples with sides of 10cm × 10cm were cut from each test fabric, weighed three times, and the average value was taken to calculate the unit mass value for each scheme. m (Unit: g / m) 2 The unit mass uniformity index of each test fabric is calculated according to the following formula. m i ’ ,satisfy: ; in, m i For the first i The weight of the fabric is given by max(m) and min(m), which are the maximum and minimum weight values in the test scheme, respectively.
[0038] In step S202, the tensile properties test was conducted according to the international textile standard ISO 20932-1:2018. A universal fabric testing machine was used to measure the warp and weft tensile curves separately, and the warp elongation rate was calculated. R l1 , weft elongation R l2, It reflects the fabric's stretchability and resilience in both the warp and weft directions.
[0039] It should be noted that evaluating the contribution of each fabric to the local fit and rebound characteristics of speed skating competition clothing through this index can effectively guide clothing pattern design and fabric selection, reducing the impact of excessive tightness on athlete comfort or insufficient stretching leading to substandard support performance.
[0040] Specifically, step S203 includes: S2031. For m types of fabrics and n evaluation indicators, construct a data matrix X=(x ij ) m×n , ; Where i represents the i-th type of fabric, and j represents the j-th secondary index; S2032. Normalize the original data using the range standardization method: ; Standardized data y ij All values are in the interval [0, 1].
[0041] Step S204 includes: S2041. Calculate the weighting of each indicator for each scheme: ; ;in, p ij represents the weight percentage of the i-th type of fabric on the j-th indicator; S2042. Obtain the entropy value of each secondary indicator based on the weight ratio of each indicator. e j : ; ; Where i represents the i-th type of fabric, and j represents the j-th secondary index. p ij represents the weight percentage of the i-th type of fabric on the j-th indicator; S2043, Calculate the degree of difference of each indicator. : ; S2044. Normalize the differences of all indicators to obtain the objective weight vector. : ; Where j represents the secondary indicator number. denoted as the index difference degree, and n is the number of evaluation indicators.
[0042] Specifically, step S3 includes: S301: The importance of each pair of primary indicators and secondary indicators is compared using the Saaty nine-level scale method, and a judgment matrix is established by classifying each comparison. S302: According to the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process), the judgment matrix A is first normalized by column, and the mean of each row is obtained to get the weight vector corresponding to each secondary indicator. A×w=λ max ×w, in, w For the weight vector, l max To determine the largest eigenvalue of a matrix; S303: Use consistency indicators and consistency ratios to perform consistency checks and select appropriate subjective weight vectors for secondary indicators. ; Consistency Indicators CI satisfy: ; Consistency ratio CR satisfy: ; Where n is the number of evaluation indicators; RI It is a random consistency indicator; If CR < 0.1, the matrix weight result is considered valid. If CR ≥ 0.1, the result of the judgment matrix weight is invalid, and the judgment matrix should be reconstructed until the consistency test is passed.
[0043] Specifically, the 9-level scaling method can select the Saaty 9-level scale, including: 1) Principle of Importance Comparison When evaluating the weight of indicators, first determine the comparison objects at each level (e.g., between primary indicators or between secondary performance indicators under the same primary indicator), and then judge the relative importance of any two indicators i and j according to the pairwise comparison principle.
[0044] The criteria for judgment include: experimental results, expert experience, design objectives priority, and motion performance requirements.
[0045] The result of the judgment is expressed as a ratio α. ijThis indicates the degree of importance of indicator i relative to indicator j.
[0046] (2) Definition of the 9-level scale method The 1–9 scale system proposed by Saaty is adopted, and the specific classification is as follows:
[0047] This scale is used to form a matrix of pairwise comparison results.
[0048] (3) Hierarchical and matrix construction methods For each group of indicators at the same level, perform all pairwise comparisons, record the expert or calculation results, and form an n×n judgment matrix A=[α ij ]: ; Where A=[α ij ] n×n Represents the judgment matrix; α ij Indicates the importance level of indicator i relative to indicator j (value 1-9); α ji =1 / α ij .
[0049] Specifically, step S4 includes: S401: A linear combination method is used to integrate subjective and objective weights to obtain the comprehensive weight vector matrix of each secondary indicator. w ,satisfy; ; in, α ∈[0,1] represents the weighted composite coefficient; S402: Yes w Normalization is performed to satisfy the requirements; =1; Overall performance score of each scheme S i satisfy: ; in, w j This is the comprehensive weight vector. For each scheme j The standardized values of each indicator indicate that the higher the score, the better the overall performance of the solution.
[0050] The comprehensive score is used to evaluate and rank the relative performance of candidate fabrics, reflecting the overall performance characteristics and applicability of different fabrics across various performance indicators, rather than directly determining the absolute superiority or inferiority of a single fabric. Therefore, the final selection of garment fabric is based on a differentiated configuration that matches the functional requirements and performance of each part.
[0051] On the other hand, the present invention also discloses a partitioned design scheme for speed skating competition uniform fabric, including: The torso area, including the chest and abdomen, the midline of the back, and the waist and hips, is made of polyurethane-coated fabric with a coating thickness of 15µm to 25µm.

When worn, the fabric has an elongation of 25% to 38% in the circumferential direction of the corresponding area, a quilt depth of 0.4mm to 1.2mm, and a quilt spacing of 4mm to 6mm. The joint and splicing transition areas, including the armpit, knee and crotch areas, are made of four-way elastic fabric with a spandex content of 10% to 15%. When worn, the fabric has a stretch rate of 30% to 43% in the main deformation direction of the corresponding area.

[0074] splicing process The different fabric seams are arranged in the direction of airflow, with the seam angle not exceeding 15° from the mainstream direction. Transition seams are overlocked with a width of 6–8 mm and then heat-pressed at low temperature to reduce airflow disturbance and ensure overall fit.

[0075] Comparative Example This comparative example discloses a fabric evaluation and screening method based on multi-level performance indicators.

The implementation results are shown in Table 15. Table 15. Implementation Results of Examples and Comparative Examples
[0076] The results show: 1. Air resistance test The average drag coefficient at speeds of 11–17 m / s was obtained through wind tunnel aerodynamic testing. The average drag coefficient (Cd) of the racing suit with the differentiated fabric configuration in this embodiment was reduced by about 5.8% compared with the suit without a racing suit, and by about 2.6% compared with the comparative scheme (using a single fabric for the torso in Example 1), showing a significant drag reduction effect in the medium and high speed gliding range.
[0077] 2. Objective evaluation of posture (multi-source motion capture) The three-dimensional posture of the torso and joints during gliding was captured using a motion capture system. The core stability index (0–1, dimensionless) was calculated based on the center of mass shift and posture continuity. This index indirectly reflects the rationality of pressure distribution in the core area and the adaptability of movement. The core stability index was 0.92±0.02, while the comparative scheme was 0.85±0.03. This indicates that the embodiment is superior to the conventional scheme in terms of maintaining gliding posture and movement continuity, contributing to improved power transmission efficiency and gliding stability, with an improvement of 0.07 compared to the comparative scheme and 8% compared to the comparative scheme.

Athlete's subjective evaluation (out of 5 points) Several high-level athletes tried on and evaluated the competition uniforms, rating them on a scale of 1–5 for comfort, smoothness of movement, and overall fit. The results showed that comfort, smoothness of movement, and overall fit were rated at 4.6±0.2, 4.7±0.2, and 4.5±0.2, respectively, while the comparative version scored only 3.8±0.3, 3.9±0.3, and 3.7±0.3. The evaluation results indicate that this embodiment significantly improves fabric softness, fit, and gliding feel, representing a 20% improvement over the comparative version.
