Adidas Formotion Clothing

In the past clothing while playing sports has been leisurely and not a big deal. Look at hockey for instance, they used to have hardly any padding and the goalies had a small helmet. But now as Don Cherry describes it they have armour, which I agree on. Or golf maybe people used to play that game in full suits, not they just have pants and a T-shirt and sometimes a hat. Clothing changes over time especially in sports. That is why Adidas thought it smart to make a line of clothing for sports would enhance the players ability in the sports and make them able to play harder, faster and maybe even longer. the Adidas Formotion Clothing is this.
This new form of sports wear is built to move in the way the sport needs you to. By using various types of fabrics and having the clothing form particular shapes it can enhance your performance but also improve your comfort while playing.

These Formotion clothes come in three types, Linear which is for sports that need to go in a forward motion such as running, Lateral where the player will use upper body strength like tennis, and the Helix where the player focuses on lower body strength in sports like soccer and football. This clothing works by targeting certain body parts which enhances and gives more control to the muscles activity improving the overall form for the player, increasing the skill level at which they play.
My assumption is that this clothing will be able to change the way sports are played. Although alot of work still has to be done on it probably within a few years I could see every sports player out there wearing this clothing and being able to hit harder and swing faster. Although more things could change that as in new bats, hockey sticks, new golf clubs or new shoes. So maybe this may have a small factor in the changes but I think that it will make a difference.
