The comparison of human perception to the measured sweat transfer rate

Coll Antropol. 2011 Jun;35(2):433-7.

Abstract

The subjective investigation, that is focused on the sensations of a person, is a good tool for the evaluation of an environment that group of people consider comfortable. In the experiment reported here, participants were dressed into 1-layer and 2-layer clothing systems. They performed physical activity and rated the subjective perception of comfort, as well as the thermal and moisture sensation. The aim of this investigation is to compare the subjective human perception during the physical activity wearing different clothing systems to the objective results of sweat absorption.
