Abstract

In this study, it is postulated that information based on skin layer deformation is necessary for the design of next-to-skin functional cycling suit. Especially for shoulder–chest region, shoulder–back region, waist–abdomen region and waist–hip region, which are critical factors in contact comfort sensations. The skin length deformation during three different road conditions (including uphill, downhill and normal road) and four cycling motions in various longitudinal, horizontal and curved directions were measured. The amount of skin deformation was slightly different for each of the five subjects, but the basic tendency of boundary between extension and contraction of skin surface was very much within the same region. The research results will help to improve cycling clothing in terms of function and comfort under the premise of the adaptation of human movement.

摘要

在这项研究中，假设基于皮肤层变形的信息对于设计接近皮肤的功能性骑行服十分必要。特别是对于肩甲区域，肩背区域，腰腹部区域和腰臀区域，它们是接触舒适感的关键因素。测量了三种不同道路状况（包括上坡路，下坡路和正常道路）的皮肤长度变形，以及在不同的纵向，水平和弯曲方向上的四个自行车运动。五个对象中每个对象的皮肤变形量都略有不同，但是在同一区域内，皮肤表面延伸和收缩之间边界的基本趋势非常明显。
