既製服のネットワークや通信販売の普及と共に, 試着なしに体型にフィットする既製服を買ってもらうことは現在の既製服販売の重要な課題になってくる。従って, 本研究では巻尺で計った11項目の体型の判別分析を行い, 体に適合する既製服のサイズの分類パターンを作成した。研究結果により11項目の体型で判別関数を利用して, 体に適合する既製服のサイズの分類パターンを作成すれば, テストを受ける者の体型からはそれぞれに正しい既製服のサイズが分かる。判別関数の分類正確率は94.4%で, 本研究が作った既製服のフィットネス評価の特徴は簡易性と有効性であることが判明された。

  We did the measuring of the hands and fingers of the right and left of 150 junior college female students. We gathered the outline of the shape of hands. And we did the drawing, measured it. We were able to understand in detail regarding the shape of the hands. We compared the result with the work gloves and the vinyl gloves. From the measuring result, we could find a necessary measuring item to improve the work gloves and the vinyl gloves handily.

1) The individual difference of hand circumference is big. The left was 91mm. Also, the right was 84mm. The right and left difference was admitted with 1% of dangerous rate.

2) Proportion that the 3^rd finger length occupies to the hand length, 103/150people existed into 42~48% of ranges.

3) The interdigit3 is distant from the wrist most with the measuring from the shape of hands. Next it is the interdigit2 and the next is the interdigit4.

4) As for the work gloves, space exists between the hand and gloves in the position of interdigit4 and interdigit1 from the measuring result.

5) When inserts the hand with the vinyl gloves and the position of interdigit1 agree other interdigits space exist between the hand and gloves without fitting. And the fingertip of the 4thfinger of the gloves remain.

  If the hand and gloves do not conform, the hand is difficult to move it. Work efficiency falls. We hope that the improvement of the gloves design goes on by using the measuring value of the hand.
