into manufacturers, and develop highly protective sport
products which fight against high impact.
Besides, low irritation air-breathing adhesive tapes and
moderate Chinese herbal tapes could be also introduced
to the domestic medical-tape manufacturers, they may
develop the modularity pre-cut taping protections which
can enhance blood circulation function and relieve bruises
and ache.
B. Systemic design
Through the introduction of 3D design into Taiwan, the
manufacturers simulate the condition: When a human
body put on the protection, they would measure the
pressure on the body and the tension of elastic cloth.
Based on the sports protection key points, they design and
develop the close-fitting protective gear.
According to the sports categories, sports medicine and
body sizes, the modularity design of sports taping could
be introduced to Taiwanese manufacturers and develop
modularity sports taping products. Users do not need to
cut and they can do the taping by themselves simply by
following the instructions. It is a convenient home use
product.
By introducing the matrix bonding design with
independent matrix cushion structure, the close-fitting and
air-breathing functions can be improved. Together with
the technology of seamless bonding design and develop
TPU taping technology replacing stitching technology. The
movable and comfort level could be further increased.
C. Analysis digitalization
Usually, we get to know the effects of sports protection
by asking the users and how they feel. This is a method
without any concrete digit analysis. Manufacturers
need to cooperate with the research institutes. They can
setup the modern facilities and carry out sports analysis
and clinical trials. Furthermore, they can take these data
as reference to find a correct direction for innovative
R&D and improve their products. Sports impact analysis,
sports performance analysis and function analysis
shall be established for developing sports protective
products. They can help the industry to establish the
development data and marketing references.
D. Product diversification
Sports protection manufacturers can apply STF
intelligent cushioning material and systemic design
so as to elevate quality and save time and cost of
new-product development. When the new products
are completed, manufacturers shall carry out a
technological testing and keep the analysis. In the
future, they can use these data to do marketing and
upgrade customer trust. More importantly, they can
develop multiple high-end sports protective products
such as baseball, football, basketball, ski and cricket,
etc.
