【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.5 Vol.5

 In order to investigate the effects of physiological response on sportswear in running, skin temperature of two men wearing four kinds of running shirt were tested.
 Skin temperature change with time in running was measured by using IC memory apparatus which is made compact it is portable.
 The results obtained were as follows.
 1. Thermal characteristics of fabric material (thermal transfer resistance and watervapour transfer resistance) could not be found differences among each other.
 2. It was lowest in cotton shirt to lowering of mean skin temperature attend on running.
 3. Cotton shirt hold much sweat in fabric, but polyester shirt hold less than cotton shirt.
 4. Regional and mean skin temperature changing with time could be analyzed statistically by way of the time series. The effects of four kinds of shirts were compared with serial correlation. Series of mean skin temperature was considered to be simple Markoff process, but the regional skin temperature showed long-term or short-term period in correlogram of series, especially, the case of polyester shirt was appeared cyclic term in the part of trunk.
