What is it about?
Were solved: the analysis of the training activity of young biathletes was carried out; selected materials for the product; a model and rational design of a tracksuit for girls has been developed; the study of the properties and the choice of the sewing mode was carried out.

Why is it important?
Biathlon requires special equipment. Biathletes train at air temperatures from + 9 °C to - 15 °C. During training activities, biathletes sweat, and exposed to low temperatures, snow, and wind. Therefore, clothes for a biathlete should provide the least wind protection at high speeds, precent the snow getting under the cloths in case of possible falls, reduce muscle fatigue, be flexible, prevent over cooling, collection of moisture, and overall create a comfortable microclimate under the clothes.
Perspectives
When designing an optimal structure, it is recommended to alternate materials that simultaneously provide protection from harsh weather conditions, freedom of movement and a snug fit: flexible materials must be placed in the shoulders, front parts of sleeves, side parts of the jacket. Windproof and waterproof membrane materials should be used on the front, lower back, and elbows of the sleeves.
