Abstract

A sports clothes including an inner layer structure and an outer layer structure is suitable to be worn on a human body. The inner layer structure includes a main part, an elastic structure, at least two fabric electrodes, and at least one fastener. The elastic structure is connected with the main part. The two fabric electrodes suitable for contacting with the skin of the human body are directly knitted on the elastic structure. The fastener is nailed on the elastic structure and electrically connected with the two fabric electrodes. The parts of the outer layer structure and that of the inner layer structure corresponding to at least one of the shoulder, partial neck portion, and armpit are connected. The outer layer structure covers the inner layer structure completely.

Claims

1. A sports clothes, suitable for being worn on a human body, comprising:

an inner layer structure, comprising;
