THERMOPHYSIOLOGIAL COMFORT PROPERTIES OF DIFFERENT CLOTHES AFTER AN ACTIVITY PERIOD

Abstract

In this study five different knitted sport clothes were tested in a wear trial test with ten men subject. After the activity, subjects were included in a rest period of 20 minutes. In this period, microclimate temperature and relative humidity values were measured with a datalogger from four body regions (chest, abdomen, back and waist). The results showed that the lowest waist microclimate temperature value was seen in TS tencel single jersey fabric like the other three body regions. On the contrary to chest and back regions, the abdomen microclimate temperature values increase during the relaxing period. Also the lowest microclimate temperature values were seen in abdomen region. On the other hand the highest microclimate relative humidity values were seen in abdomen region ( 93-96 %).

Bir Aktivite Periyodu Sonrası Farklı Giysilerin Termofizyolojik Konfor Özellikleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada beş farklı spor giysi belirli bir antreman programında 10 erkek deneğe giydirilmiş ve aktivite sonrasındaki 20 dakikalık dinlenme periyodunda 4 farklı vücut bölümünün (göğüs, karın, sırt ve bel) mikroklima sıcaklık ve bağıl nem değerlerinin ortalamaları verilmiştir. Ayrıca dinlenme periyodu boyunca nabız ve maksimum oksijen tüketimi değerleri nabız ölçer polar saat ve kardiyo solunum fonksiyonları ölçüm cihazı kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Sonuç olarak en düşük mikroklima sıcaklık değeri diğer üç bölgede olduğu gibi bel bölgesinde de TS kodlu tencel süprem kumaş numunesinde görülmüştür. Göğüs ve sırt bölgelerinden farklı olarak karın mikroklima sıcaklık değerlerinin dinlenme periyodu boyunca arttığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca en düşük mikroklima sıcaklık değerleri karın bölgesinde görülmüştür. Diğer yandan en yüksek mikroklima bağıl nem değerleri karın bölgesinde görülmüştür (%93-96).
