The thermal effects related to wearing headgear are complex and different studies have
investigated single parts of this topic. This review aims at summarizing the different findings …

This preliminarily study was made to examine the differences in sweat excretions from
human eccrine and apocrine sweat glands in dynamic exercise and heat conditions. Sweat …

The origin of infrared thermography comes in 1800 when William Herschel discovered
thermal radiation, the invisible light later called infrared, but only in the mid-sixties infrared …

Respirator comfort and fit are two important parameters for respirator design, usage, and
standard development. The contact pressure (as measured between a respirator and the …

Thermal discomfort due to accumulated sweat increasing head skin wettedness may
contribute to low wearing rates of bicycle helmets. Using curated data on human head …

The main objective of this study is to establish an approach for measuring the dry and
evaporative heat dissipation cricket helmets. A range of cricket helmets has been tested …

A novel thermo-physiological human head simulator for headgear testing was developed by
coupling a thermal head manikin with a thermo-physiological model. As the heat flux at head …

Cycling is a daily activity that needs a high demand of human-bicycle fitness. However,
studies into the fitness or ergonomic aspects are very little. In this study, the simulated 20 …

Predicting thermal comfort of protective headgear is of particular interest since the head is
one of the most heat-sensitive body parts. Thermal head manikins enable systematic …

Headgear including helmets are essential and law-enforced in many countries. However,
one of the most main reasons drivers give for not wearing helmets is the discomfort and …
