Objective of the study was to justify the potential of smart protective clothing using conjugated polymer nanocomposite materials (CPNM-SCPC) to improve the physical fitness of athletes using pressure sensors to minimize injuries in combat sports.
Methods and structure of the study. The information is taken from the Kaggle biosensor dataset using smartphone data. Wearable pressure sensors have high potential for applications in rehabilitation, touch interfaces, and electronic skin. Research methods for assessing the durability of fabric and composite protective materials in smart clothing are discussed in the context of illustrative examples. Carbon nanotubes, graphene-based nanomaterials, and other fibers are potential options for creating the outer protective layers of interactive clothing. It is proposed to integrate smart sensors into the interior of clothing to assess the force and type of impact on the fabric at various locations in the structure and report near-breaking force using color or sound indication.

Keywords: martial arts, sports protection system, smart clothing, conjugated polymer nanocomposite materials.
