Relationship between thermophysiological responses and psychological thermal perception during exercise wearing aerobic wear

摘要

This paper studies the relationships among human physiological and psychological thermal and moisture responses in tight-fit aerobic wear. Results showed that both physiological and psychological responses were significantly influenced by time, garment, body location and some of their interactions. Objectively measured skin humidity and moisture sensation at individual locations were highly correlated and significant at p levels of 0.01. Overall clothing comfort may be best described with thermal sensation at outer thigh, humidity at inner thigh. The correlation coefficient of predicted with experimental clothing comfort score was 0.76, and a t-test showed that there was no significant difference between the two data sets.
