Abstract

Within the Functional, Expressive, Aesthetic (FEA) Consumer Needs Model, the purpose of this research was to investigate clothing needs of young male tennis players. Both functional aspects and aesthetic characteristics of tennis wear were assessed through selected movement analysis and survey. Data were collected from 74 tennis players enrolled at tennis clubs in northwestern United States. Participants reported fit problems of different garment features in each specific movement as well as preferences for their tennis wear. In addition, this research also investigated the relationship between satisfaction of functional aspect and aesthetic appearance. As a result, the satisfaction of functional components including fit and comfort has positively related to the satisfaction of aesthetic components by male tennis players. Based on the results obtained, both functional and aesthetic considerations need to be taken into account to develop tennis apparel that meets the needs of male tennis players.
