Designing a Specific-Exercises Bag by Recycling the Martial Arts Sports Suit to Achieve Sustainable Development.

Trends of sustainability and recycling products by using them in innovative designs that benefit the needs of community members is increasing. This research aimed to achieve sustainable development by designing a specialized exercise bag by recycling environmental materials. Procedures: The experimental approach was used in designing the specialized exercise bag by recycling a martial arts suit and some environmental materials, and the descriptive approach was used to study the aesthetic and functional aspects of the design. Sample: waste: (a judo suit, a rubber vehicle tire, hay, sand, rope, a glove, and plastic adhesive); human sample: (12) experts of clothing and textiles, and (13) experts of martial arts, was used to study the quality of the aesthetic and functional aspects in Designing a specialized exercise bag, and surveying experts’ opinions. Research results in designing the bag: The bag’s padding was designed from (a rubber vehicle tire, a mixture of sand and hay, a rope, a clip and plastic adhesive), and the bag was designed by recycling a judogi. The researchers designed a specialized exercise bag pattern to be used in designing the bag from waste martial arts suit. The aesthetic and functional quality of the design was identified in the design of the bag by designing questionnaires for aesthetic quality and functional quality, and they obtained acceptable scientific procedures in cooperation with the experts of (clothing, textile, and martial arts). Results of the aesthetic quality questionnaire showed the design quality of the specialized exercise bag according to the opinions of (12) experts (clothing and textiles). The relative weight of the opinions was (97.22%) with an arithmetic mean of (2.92) in the questionnaire dimensions (quality of design, quality of pattern measurements, quality of sewing, The quality of finishing, and the quality of the bag design as a whole) and in the dimension (quality of recycling materials) (100.00%) with an arithmetic mean of (3.00). Results of the design quality and functionality questionnaire showed the validity of the design according to the opinions of (13) experts (martial arts), and the relative weight of their opinions was (94.87%), with an arithmetic mean of (2.85) in the questionnaire dimensions (design safety, design quality, recycling quality). A relative weight (92.31%) and arithmetic average (2.77) in (the functional suitability of the specialized exercise package (as a whole), and a relative weight (89.74%) and arithmetic mean (2.69) in the (quality of implementation) dimension. The researchers concluded that the design of the specialized exercise bag for self-defense sports was acceptable by recycling the martial arts uniforms and some environmental waste, to achieve sustainable development. The design achieved aesthetic and functional quality, and provided brainstorming opportunities to design innovative, economical, and environmentally friendly sports tools that would benefit players of various sports activities.
