I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sports star may get this ps1000 bit of activewear' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'in three sizes' is the wordplay.
'three sizes' can mean three replacements for 'size'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'size' becomes 'grandam' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'size' becomes 'S' (small clothing size).
'size' becomes 'L' (large clothing size).
's'+'l'='sl'
'grandam' placed around 'sl' is 'GRAND SLAM'.
