An Analysis of Pressure Comfort Developed by Foundation Garment and Physiological Response

摘要

This research analyzed the physical response according to the clothing pressure of several foundation garments (corset, girdle) from seven representative physiological variables. The wearing experimental procedure was designed and fifteen female undergraduates were employed as subjects. The physical response according to the clothing pressure from seven representative physiological variables (oxygen uptake VO2, respiratory exchange rate RER, heart rate HR etc.) was investigated. We obtained that fitness and coverage position was the main factors affecting physiological response. We further explored Relationships between clothing pressure at each point of body surface during exercise and physiological variables, and found that the Factor of Respiratory before Exercise has a significant correlation with the pressure of waist area and bust area, but the Factor of Heart Rate before Exercise has no significant correlation with pressure of every point during the rest 2 minutes before the exercise. And the Factor of Respiratory during Exercise has a significant correlation with the pressure of bust area, the Factor of Heart Rate during Exercise also has a significant correlation with the pressure of front waist area during the riding ergonomic bike exercise.
