“…The meta-analyses of our umbrella review indicate a trivial effect of wearable smart garments on rate of perceived exertion in line with previous studies in athletes [ 25 ] and non-athletes [ 26 ]. In addition, we observed that wearing smart garments with optimized compression, fitting, and skin contact characteristics has a small effect on proprioception.…”

Lower Limbs Wearable Sports Garments for Muscle Recovery: An Umbrella Review

et al. 2022

This review aims to understand the different technologies incorporated into lower limbs wearable smart garments and their impact on post-exercise recovery. Electronic searches were conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane electronic databases. Eligibility criteria considered meta-analyses that examined the effects of wearable smart garments on physical fitness in healthy male and female adults. Seven meta-analyses were considered in the current umbrella review, indicating small effects on delayed-onset muscle soreness ([0.40–0.43]), rate of perceived exertion (0.20), proprioception (0.49), anaerobic performance (0.27), and sprints ([0.21–0.37]). The included meta-analyses also indicated wearable smart garments have trivial to large effects on muscle strength and power ([0.14–1.63]), creatine kinase ([0.02–0.44]), lactate dehydrogenase (0.52), muscle swelling (0.73), lactate (0.98) and aerobic pathway (0.24), and endurance (0.37), aerobic performance (0.60), and running performance ([0.06–6.10]). Wearing wearable smart garments did not alter the rate of perceived exertion and had a small effect on delayed-onset muscle soreness. Well-fitting wearable smart garments improve comfort and kinesthesia and proprioception and allow a reduction in strength loss and muscle damage after training and power performance following resistance training or eccentric exercise.

“…The mid-back region was specifically chosen as it was shown to be associated with a lower energy cost than most other forms of load carriage [33,34]. Following 4-min of quiet standing, the subjects began walking at 2.7 km/h at 0% incline, stage 2 is at 2.7 km/h at 5% incline, and then stage 3 was the start (Stage 1) of the Bruce protocol consisting of further increases in grade and speed continue, at 3-min intervals, until the subject reaches volitional exhaustion (Run-7410, Italy) (S1 Table) [35]. During the GXTs, HR (Polar-T3, Kempele, Finland), oxygen uptake, _ VE (L�min -1 ) throughout the tests were recorded using Breath-by-Breath technology (Metalyzer II-R2, CORTEX, Germany) and the data collected and exercise duration were automatically recorded by the software.…”

Graded exercise test with or without load carriage similarly measures maximal oxygen uptake in young males and females

The aim of this was to compare the effects of the graded exercise test (GXT) with or without load carriage on maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) heart rate (HR), and expired ventilation (V˙E) and blood lactate in young healthy males and females. The study included ten females (age:20.2±0.7 yrs) and ten males (age:19.5±0.7 yrs) who performed the modified Bruce protocol at five load conditions; unloaded, 5, 10, 15, and 20% of body weight (BW) (kg). All the tests were performed in random order, at least 48 hours apart. During the GXTs, HR, V˙O2max, V˙E, workload and test duration were recorded and blood lactate concentration was measured before and immediately after the GXTs. V˙O2max remained unchanged during the GXTs in load and unloaded conditions for both sexes (p>0.05). Test duration was significantly less in females during the GXT with 15% BW (15.9±0.51 min vs. 18.1±1.14 min; p = 0.014) and 20% BW load carriage (15.2±0.75 min vs. 18.1±1.14 min; p = 0.020), compared to the unloaded GXT. Males showed significant decrease in the test duration during the GXT with load 15% BW (20.5±0.53 min vs. 22.8±0.61 min; p = 0.047) and with 20% BW (19.6±0.42 min vs. 22.8±0.71 min; p = 0.004), compared to the GXT with 5% BW. V˙E statistically decreased in female subjects only at 15% BW compared to 20% BW (15% BW = 77.9 ± 10.5 L/min vs. 15% BW = 72.0 ± 10.9 L/min; p = 0.045). There was no difference observed in maximal HR and blood lactate concentration between the GXTs in load and unloaded conditions. This study indicates that no matter the load % used during the GXT, V˙O2max, but not total exercise time, remains the same in young males and females.

In this study, the distribution characteristics and changing law of sports comfort perception were analyzed by collecting the comfort evaluation data of running in winter tight sportswear, and proposes a network model based on particle swarm optimization-cuckoo search-long short-term memory to track the changing law of motion comfort. First, considering the existence of redundant features, analytic hierarchy process analysis is used to screen out key features; and then, particle swarm optimization and cuckoo search algorithms are used to optimize the key parameters of the long short-term memory prediction model, so as to avoid the model prediction performance caused by the selection of parameters based on experience. The experiments compared the prediction accuracy of other models, and selected mean absolute error, root mean square error, and mean absolute percentage error evaluation indicators to verify the effectiveness of these models. The results show that the perception of wearing comfort changes over time, but when it reaches the extreme point at a certain moment, and then it gradually falls back. The humidity sense and thermal sense of bust, crotch, and back in human body are the main comfort perceptions that affect movement; LSTM and the optimized LSTM models are suitable for the prediction of comfort perception at different times during exercise. Among them, the PSO-CS-LSTM model can more accurately track the changing trend of motion comfort, the prediction has high prediction accuracy and validity; we selected three different running speeds as the experimental data, which also verifies the universal applicability of the model.
