What type of clothing does AFAA recommend for exercise attire?

AFAA recommends fabrics that breathe for exercise attire due to their ability to enhance comfort and performance during workouts. Breathable fabrics allow for better airflow, helping to regulate body temperature and wick away moisture from the skin, which is important during physical activity. When individuals sweat, breathable materials facilitate evaporation, keeping the wearer cooler and more comfortable, which can improve overall exercise performance and enjoyment.

In contrast, loose-fitting clothing may not provide the necessary support or protection needed for various exercises, and heavy fabrics can lead to overheating or restrict movement, negatively affecting workout efficiency. Denim materials are typically not suitable for exercise due to their lack of elasticity and breathability, making them uncomfortable and impractical for physical activities. By recommending breathable fabrics, AFAA emphasizes the importance of choosing attire that supports an effective and enjoyable exercise experience.
