ウエストニッパー素材の水分特性が衣服内温湿度，心拍数，口腔温，皮膚温および主観評価に及ぼす影響

抄録

Wear experiments to examine clothing climate, heart rate and temperature-related factors were conducted using waist-nippers made of power stretch knitted fabrics that differed in moisture and water absorption properties. The findings are summarized as follows:
1.Clothing humidity (Hcl) was significantly related to mean skin temperature, oral temperature and heart rate, and from these results, it was concluded that when a waist-nipper with higher Hcl is worn, the wearer become physiologically overloaded.
2.Waist-nippers made of cotton or promix had a higher Hcl than those made of polyester. That is, materials superior in moisture absorption resisted increases in Hcl. Materials with superior liquid water absorption did not resist increases in Hcl, but showed a faster recovery rate.
3.Changes in physiological values and thermal evaluation showed almost the same behavior, but the small difference in physiological values among the waist-nippers used as samples did not influence the results of thermal evaluation, since the waist-nippers remained closely in contact with the body.
