Analysis of materials properties and design solutions to ensure the ergonomics of military clothing

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the ergonomic efficiency of military uniforms. The study examined the physical-mechanical and air permeability properties of fabrics made from natural, synthetic, and blended fibers. Particular attention was paid to the influence of anatomical design elements, folds, and seam orientations on freedom of movement, functional comfort, and the microclimate inside the garment. The findings revealed that fabrics woven from polyester-cotton blends demonstrated the research contributes to the improvement of military uniform design and the development of specialized clothing that ensures both functionality and comfort. The practical significance lies in enhancing the efficiency and well-being of military personnel. In addition, the study evaluated the uniform’s adaptability to different climatic zones, its thermal regulation capacity during seasonal changes, and its resistance to wear. Special attention was given to the fabric’s water absorption level, wind protection properties, and movement dynamics in tactical conditions. It was found that the weight and elasticity of the materials help reduce fatigue during prolonged physical loads. This comprehensive analysis enables the improvement of military uniforms in accordance with modern standarts.
