Bacteria which breed in these clothes will also cause odor. Micrococci bacteria that trigger type smell known to be easily breed in polyester than cotton.
Although you feel the sweat released during exercise does not smell, but micrococci can turn into smelly sweat. These bacteria are also known to change the long-chain fatty acids, hormones, and amino acids into smaller components that will cause body odor.
Research on bacteria in the polyester material is done by Chris Callewaert of Ghent University. In his studies he examined 26 healthy people who do not have a skin infection or illness.
The respondents were asked to perform a static exercise bike for an hour. Then, the clothes worn by the participant taken and stored in a plastic lidded and allowed to stand for 28 hours at room temperature and dark. Sports clothing worn by various participants, there is a T-shirt cotton, synthetics, and cotton-synthetic mixture.
After 28 hours, then seven people who have high levels of sensitivity to smell, smell the tracksuits. Apparently, the jerseys are made of polyester least remove odor.
"Specifically shirt made of polyester has a more intense odor, ammonia scent stronger, more powerful, more sweat and more acidic," the researchers wrote.
Therefore, do not delay washing clothes that have been worn sports. Clothes that keep these bacteria is not likely to cause acne in the body.
