This study investigates the dynamic regulation mechanisms of thermal and moisture comfort in swimwear, leveraging the properties of smart responsive fabrics. By analyzing the interplay between material composition, environmental conditions, and physiological responses, the research aims to enhance the functional design of swimwear for optimal comfort. A systematic experimental approach was employed to evaluate the performance of smart fabrics under varying conditions, providing insights into their adaptability and efficiency. The findings contribute to the development of advanced swimwear that meets the demands of both professional athletes and recreational users.References
