Changes in body temperature and subjective responses during bathing with upper body airflow and bathroom ventilation

-Comparison between winter season and the summer

Abstract

A whole body bath is comfortable in the early period, but body temperature gradually rises and becomes non-comfortable. Some people promote metabolism by long-time bathing for health, and raise refreshment due to the sweating. Long-time bathing increases hot flash and fatigue. We proposed new method bating that suppressed the rise of core temperature and keep a comfortable feeling for the winter season. This bathing method is winding to the physical upper part and ventilates bathroom. Therefore we weighed the winter season and the summer using the bathing method. As a result, it was revealed that the winter season and similar effects were provided in the summer. It was thought that similar effect is provided in both the summer and the winter season during bathing with upper body airflow and bathroom ventilation.
