The thesis is focused on injuries and safety in pole dance practice because it is known for injuries when performing tricks. The research presents the sport, sports equipment, and factors that affect the safety of dancers. Through experience and reviewed literature, I noticed an unused potential of clothing as a protection for skin and musculoskeletal injuries of pole dancers. Based on the research of advanced textile printing techniques, testing of prints, consultations, and analyzing the points of contact between the dancer and the pole and their intensity of friction, I designed a pole dance costume that would increase the safety and security of the dancer and reduce skin injuries.
