澳大利亚田径队正与赞助商Puma合作，研究为本队运动员开发高科技气动速度服，以在英联邦运动会等重大赛事中提升竞技表现[1]。这一举措受到了苏格兰选手Josh Kerr的启发，他在打破英里世界纪录时穿着的速度服由Brooks公司设计，该款服装采用气动设计、缝线少、孔洞少、多种面料混合等创新特点，并经过风洞测试[1]。
澳大利亚田径队主教练Andrew Faichney对技术在田径项目中的作用保持谨慎态度，他表示："在田径运动中，技术能发挥作用的地方是有限的，不像自行车和其他项目那样。跑一英里就是你与空气和地面的接触"[1]。
Australia is exploring the development of advanced aerodynamic speedsuits for its athletes competing at the Commonwealth Games and other major events.[1] The initiative follows Scottish runner Josh Kerr's recent world record-breaking performance in the mile, achieved while wearing a Brooks-designed speedsuit that underwent wind tunnel testing.[1] The specialized garment features aerodynamic construction, minimal seams and perforations, and a blend of different fabrics optimized for performance.[1]
The Australian track and field team is partnering with sponsor Puma to investigate creating comparable speedsuits for its own competitors.[1] However, Australia's head track and field coach Andrew Faichney acknowledged the limitations of technological advantage in the sport, stating: "There is only so much in athletics that technology can affect, it is not like cycling and other events. Running a mile it's just you and your contact with the air and with the ground."[1]
