RESEARCH ON TECHNOLOGY OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR RUNNING SOCKS – Part I
The socks part of the athlete equipment and aims to provide feet protection in different situations activities sports. Currently sports socks are made in a wide assortment range for each sport discipline. Due to the technological possibilities of the machines, socks are knit with the areas of protection and ventilation for foot, with the concomitant use of raw special materials and structures to fast away heat and humidity from the skin, providing a more natural environment, like barefoot climate. Currently, essential components socks consist of a sole sport adapted to the anatomical shape of the left foot and right foot, finding constructive solutions to protect all sensitive areas of the foot, and the development of areas of „conditioning”, which creates a optimal interface between shoes and feet [2]. Socks for sports activities must meet the requirements for comfort and resistance to stress, and anatomical-morphological and biomechanical analysis leg will socks optimize conditions to ensure the comfort and better functionality.
