Development of Lower Part Bodies of Middle-aged and Elderly Men and Women for the Walking Wear Design Which the Dynamic Fitness was Pursued

Abstract

The figure feature of the lower part of the bodies of middle-aged and elderly men and women was analyzed for the walking wear design which the dynamic fitness was pursued. By the principal component analysis of the data measured from 1992 to 1994, it became clear that the figure feature of the middle-aged and elderly men and women fat deposited around the waist, the abdomen and the hip compared with the younger age group, and was thick overall. So the subjective who is within the 30% from the center of all principle component scores from the 1st principle component to the 4th principle component was made the standard model. In order to catch the walking feature of the middle-aged and elderly persons, we took VTR photography and analyzed the walking posture outside doors. Moreover, we took the pictures of walking movement by tread Mil, analyzed movement by MMpro2DDA and found the ease amount necessary to the lower part of the body clothes. We took the picture of the person for each of subjective men and women who showed the figure feature near the standard model using non-contact three-dimensional measurement equipment, transformed these into regular size and made the standard solid nude model. The dynamic ease amount was added to the pattern of the standard solid nude model and the movement correspondence type middle-aged and elderly waist standard model was produced.
