Virtual Prototyping of Spacer Fabric Shoe Uppers for Racket Sports
Creators
Description
This article thoroughly explores the virtual prototype development of an asymmetrical shoe upper
designed specifically for amateur athletes engaged in racquet sports such as badminton and tennis. The
study targets athletes aged 12-16, focusing on enhancing comfort, performance, and aesthetics. Utilizing
Spacer fabric, known for its superior breathability, cushioning, and flexibility, the research aims to
address the unique biomechanical demands of lateral movements in racquet sports. The article highlights
the design attributes derived from comprehensive surveys and data analysis, emphasizing the significance
of vibrant colors and ergonomic features. The methodology encompasses material selection, design
parameter analysis, and prototype development, culminating in a discussion on the implications for
amateur athletes' performance and psychological well-being.
