Environmental Physiological Studies on the Relation Between Microclimatic Conditions of Athletic Fields using Soil, Concrete, Turf and Artificial turf, and the Heat Tolerance of Sports Man
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.6 Vol.6】
Environmental physiological studies were conducted in order to make clear the most comfortable conditions of athletic fields using soil, natural and artificial turf, and concrete ground radiated artificially at the same energy level as the sun shin of June at Tokyo.
Radiated artificial turf re-radiated most among the other materials, and these results suggested that radiated artificial turf made the player on it getting tired most by heat stress. Soil and Natural Turf with sprinkling water frequency is the best thermal conditions of athletic fields for playing under the sunshine.
Secondstep of our research was to make clear the thermal adaptability of sports man, including baseball player, long and middle distance runner, and swimming player by method of Local Cold Tolerance Test, Local Heat Tolerance Test developed by IBP (International Biological Program).
It was found that baseball player showed the best level of Heat tolerance, swimming player had the best of Cold Tolerance, long and middle distance runner showed the intermediate level of Heat and Cold Tolerance adaptability.
