About This Item
Full Description
In two studies, the physiological effects of different kinds of clothing were investigated. The tests, with five test subjects, were carried out at a temperature of 20°C and a humidity of 50 percent RH using a treadmill (speed 4 km/h, inclination 5 percent). Metabolic rate, heart rate, rectal temperature, skin temperature, skin water vapor pressure, and sweat loss were measured.
Study I shows the effect of the microclimate below clothing on heart rate, which is given by a small increase up to a range of 30-31°C NET and followed by a high increase above this range. In study II, tests were carried out with and without thermal radiation. In the case of thermal radiation, the two heat-protective clothing ensembles show a high protective effect and a profit for the wearer compared to light clothing, whereas the melter suit has a little protective effect but no profit.
