Differences in wearer response to garments for outdoor activity

摘要: The performance of garments for outdoor activity was compared. Three fabrics, each in the upper body, matched garment/wearer dimensions, were worn by 10 athletically ‘well-trained’ males under controlled conditions (hot 32 ± 2°C, 20 ± 2% relative humidity (RH); cold 8 ± 2°C, 40 ± 2% RH) with physical (instrumental) and sensory responses obtained during trials. Differences human to fabrics/garments included heart rate, core temperature run (hot, cold), rest (hot) walk (cold), heat content time onset sweating. No such differences identified change body mass, skin temperature, covered garment, or any perceptions (thermal sensations, thermal comfort torso, exertion, wetness). garment single jersey wool fabric performed best both hot conditions. ...
