The goal of this study was to develop bicycle apparel pattern for women cyclists. To investigate the pattern of bicycle apparel in Korea, anthropometric data were collected using direct and indirect measurements from October 2002 to July 2003. Three female subjects were recruited from forty measured women cyclists for pilot test. The differences between the responses of prototype bicycle apparel and existing bicycle apparel were compared using mean, standard deviation and t-test. The outfits for cyclists was completed through the three times rectification. Based on the results from the fit and appearance testing, I concluded as follows: The mean value of the center back length, back width, sleeve out-seam, bust ＆ thigh circumference, and weight of cyclists are more than the mean value of the non-cyclists. The result of fit evaluation by judges shows that there is a significant differences in the response to the shoulder, collar, movement of arms of jersey and movement of upper legs, crotch fit and general fit of shots. The result of appearance test between two outfits is no differences the mean value except the waist ease when sitting on cycle. Prototype bicycle apparel pattern for women cyclists developed and tested in this study have the potential to increase field performance and appearance.

한국과 미국의 사이클 선수들이 선호하는 사이클복에 대하여 조사하였으며 착용실태 파악을 위한 설문조사는 1997년 8월-10월 사이에 한국과 미국에서 동시에 실시하였고 총 145명 (한국인=79명, 미국인 =66명)의 설문결과가 데이터 분석에 이용되었다 설문내용은 인적사항 사이클복에 대한인식 및 계절에 따라 선호하는 스타일 등에 대해 35문항으로 구성되어 있으며 질문형식은 그림형과 서술형으로 나누어 작성하였다. 데이터는 빈도와 백분율로 비교하였고 {{{{ chi ^2 }} 와 Fisher's exact 방법을 이용하여 그 결과를 고찰하였다. 한국인 사이클 선수들의 Rohrer 지수는 한국 표준 체위조사의 같은 나이 집단의 수치와 거의 차이가 없으며미국인 남자 사이클 선수는 같은 나이 집단의 미국 군인들을 위한 체위조사 결과보다 낮은 수치를 나타냈다. 한국의 여자 사이클 선수들 중 79.6%가 사이클복이 시합이나 훈련중 기록향상에 영향을 미친다고 응답하였다. 대부분의 미국인 사ㅣ클 선수들은 그들이 착용한 사이클복에 만족하고 있으며 상하가 분리된 스타일을 선호하였다, 한국과 미국의 사이클 선수들은 jersey 의 경우 round neckline에 stand collar가 있는 스타일을 좋아하며 jersey 와 shorts 모두 몸에 꼭 맞는 스타일을 선호하였다.

The purpose of this study is to provide essential information conducive to designing efficient cycling apparel for everyday wear. To this end, this study identified key situations that cyclists face while riding their bicycles as well as clothing functions that are necessary for each situation. Furthermore, this study also analyzed the current trends in cycling apparels and hybrid designs. In order to analyze the current trends of clothing functionality in domestic and foreign cycling apparel brands, the researchers of this study first reviewed existing literature on the functionality of cycling clothing. Then a focus group, which comprised of two experts in cycling fashion brands and fourteen consumers, was formed and in-depth interviews were conducted to identify the major conditions related to bicycle riding. Based on the results of the interview, the study, then, classified 700 images of cycling clothing from exhibitions and 1,541 images of cycling clothing that were launched by domestic and foreign fashion brands. The results of this study were as follows. First, there were three major conditions in bicycle riding: night riding, weather changes and riding convenience. Second, functionalities required for each riding condition were as follows: visibility for night riding, comfort, waterproofness and heat preservation properties for weather changes, and elasticity, protective properties and storage capacity for riding convenience. Finally, hybrid designs for each riding condition were different from general designs.

The purpose of this study was to compare the body measurements of cyclists and non-cyclists and to classify cyclists＇ body types to offer basic information for the bicycle apparel manufacturer in Korea. The anthropometric data was collected including both direct and indirect measurements of 81 cyclists (40 female, 41 male) aged from 19 to 24. Anthropometric measurements were analyzed using percentiles, T-test, factor and cluster analysis. The results were as follows; Comparison of anthropomeoic data between cyclist and non-cyclist was to clarify that cyclists have bigger size than non-cyclists; especially the thigh circumference shows big differences. As the result of factor analysis, 5 factors, which explain 74% of variance, were extracted from all items for male and female cyclists. The results of cluster analysis classified body types into 3 groups. Cluster 1 among three female cyclist groups has biggest torso and had an erect back. Cluster 2 has small size among three female group and drooping shoulders. Cluster 3 has the bended forward shoulders and shows the protrusion back. In case of male cyclists, cluster 1 has thin body type owing to big height measurements and small girth measurements. Cluster 2 among three male groups has the biggest torso and thigh circumference. Cluster 3 has big forward angle of shoulders and shows the protrusion of the back as female cyclist.
