However, performance enhancement of the functional garment was not confirmed by research. Golf swing movement is similar to an elastic spring which can store elastic potential energy, then release to kinetic energy. If we can integrate sports biomechanics with textile science, functional sportswear can be developed to achieve both functions of performance and comfort. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of functional sportswear on performance. Method: Six amateur golf players and fourteen professional golf athletes were recruited in this study. Two different functional sportswear were designed, one is SSC according to stretch shortening cycle theory, the other one is KT according to kinesio tape theory. Club velocity and muscle performance were measured. Friedman two-way ANOVA by ran-ks and repeated measures two-way ANOVA were used to determine the difference between groups. Significant level was set at α=.05. Results: The results show club velocity of SSC group was higher than KT group in amateur players; The RMS EMG of biceps femoris of SSC group was higher than KT group in swing phase. The club velocity, ball velocity and distance were not significantly different in professional athletes. Conclusion: The functional sportswear can actually enhance club velocity in amateur players.
