“…Good thermal-moisture functions of clothing fabric are commonly regarded as good air permeability, water vapor permeability, and overall moisture management capacity. 7 While superior air and water vapor permeability promotes microclimate ventilation and transmission of sweat vapor, 8 excellent overall moisture management capacity facilitates liquid sweat transfer from the inner side to the outer of the fabric surface. 9 The thermal-moisture performance of fabric can be affected by fiber characteristics (e.g., fiber type and fineness), yarn (e.g., fineness and hairiness), fabric structure, chemical treatment, or the resultant physical properties.…”

Properly selected fabrics and smartly designed uniform are essential to improve thermal and moisture performance of summer clothes. As compared to a commercial uniform (CON) that was commonly worn by construction workers, a newly designed work uniform (NEW) consists of a smartly designed short-sleeved shirt with superior air permeability and a pair of full-length pants with excellent overall moisture management capacity. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of NEW on combating body physiological and perceptual strain through conducting human wear trials in the laboratory experiment. Twelve participants took part in two trials (one with wearing NEW and another with wearing CON) on two experimental days. Each trial included a rest–intermittent running–recovery cycle inside a climatic chamber controlled at 34.5℃ and 75% relative humidity. The major findings manifested that the mean skin temperature ([Formula: see text]) of participants with NEW was significantly lower than that with CON toward a high running speed (8.5 km/h, 4% slope). During passive recovery, thermo-physiological strain (intestinal temperature ( Tin), [Formula: see text], and mean body temperature [Formula: see text]) of participants with NEW was significantly lower than that with CON. The perceptual strain of participants with NEW was significantly alleviated during exercise and post-exercise recovery periods as the participants felt cooler, drier, and more comfortable than those with CON. It was concluded that the newly designed work uniform is effective in alleviating thermo-physiological and perceptual strain during intermittent exercise and post-exercise recovery in hot and humid environment.

“…In practice, the interactive communications between clothing and the human body and clothing and the environment frequently happen by two boundaries. One is the boundary between the body skin and the inner layer of the clothing close to skin; the other is the boundary between the outer layers of the clothing exposed to the environment [40]. The clothing exchanges energy and moisture with the skin and the external environment, and the thermal status and physiological status are automatically updated.…”

Participation in a regular exercise program can improve health status and contribute to an increase in life expectancy. However, exercise accidents like dehydration, exertional heatstroke, syncope, and even sudden death exist. If these accidents can be analyzed or predicted before they happen, it will be beneficial to alleviate or avoid uncomfortable or unacceptable human disease. Therefore, an exercise thermophysiology comfort prediction model is needed. In this paper, coupling the thermal interactions among human body, clothing, and environment (HCE) as well as the human body physiological properties, a human thermophysiology regulatory model is designed to enhance the human thermophysiology simulation in the HCE system. Some important thermal and physiological performances can be simulated. According to the simulation results, a human exercise thermophysiology comfort prediction method based on fuzzy inference system is proposed. The experiment results show that there is the same prediction trend between the experiment result and simulation result about thermophysiology comfort. At last, a mobile application platform for human exercise comfort prediction is designed and implemented.
