The rapid evaluation of sportswear has been driven by the integration of advanced textile technologies that have been designed to improve performance, comfort and functionality. The innovations in modern sports and performance textiles include engineered fibres, finishes made with nanotechnology, smart textiles and environmentally friendly processing methods. The technologies allow the creation of fabrics with enhanced moisture control, antimicrobial properties, thermal control, UV protection and mechanical characteristics. This review covers a detailed discussion of the main technological innovations in sportswear, their mechanisms, usage and impact on performance characteristics. Special focus is given to the emergent technologies such as wearable electronics, bio-based finishing systems that help in the development of multifunctional and environmentally sustainable textiles. The prospective approaches underscore the rising significance of intelligent, adaptive and environmentally friendly designs in designing the next generation sportswear. The paper will be useful in offering insights to researchers and industry experts in the efforts to develop high performance and sustainable sports textiles.
