Biophysical and Physiological Integration of Proper Clothing for Exercise.

Abstract

This review is a discussion of current biophysical and thermal advances in clothing properties. Among the topics covered are effects of exercise in buffering clothing insulation, effects of modern day fiber techniques (polypropylene, etc.) in allowance or adjustments to water vapor and thermal exchange and special advantages (aids) used in fostering optimal heat exchange for athletes. Keywords: temperature; protective fibers; insensible heat loss.
