“…There is minimal literature considering the needs of endurance athletes living in developing tropical countries. Researchers have introduced smart cooling concepts that can improve the cooling comfort of individuals [9], yet regardless of the potential benefits offered by existing smart wearable technologies, to the best of our knowledge, most of these existing smart wearable studies were conducted focusing on mid/high-resource countries [10] and/or for non-athletes [11,12]. Moreover, the existing smart cooling validation studies were conducted mostly in indoor controlled conditions [13][14][15][16].…”

Cooling sportswear products have been used to improve the comfort of individuals exposed to hot–humid climate conditions; however, these products were not explored adequately in the outdoor sports context. Moreover, it is not known if these products meet the needs of athletes in developing and tropical countries. Therefore, this study presents the design and exploratory evaluation of affordable cooling sportswear (T-shirt). Eight Sri Lankan athletes tested the sportswear prototype over three-weeks, undergoing a 30 min cycling trial that covered 15 km. The results show that the cooling sportswear improved cooling comfort, sweat evaporation, and overall comfort of the athletes by increasing ventilation and reducing body temperature. The developed prototype assisted in identifying suggestions for designing cooling sportswear products, including aesthetic, cost, functional, and sustainability considerations. These suggestions may guide researchers to develop affordable and sustainable cooling sportswear for endurance cycling athletes living in developing and tropical countries.

Effects of smart garments on the well-being of athletes: a scoping review protocol

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionWith the advancements in wearable electronics, electronically integrated smart garments started to transpire in our daily lives. Smart garment technologies are incorporated into sportswear applications to enhance the well-being and performance of athletes. Smart garments applications in the sports sector are increasing, and the variety of smart garment applications available in the literature is overwhelming. Therefore, it is essential to compare the vast array of technologies incorporated in smart garments for athletes to understand the knowledge gaps for future studies. The protocol paper aims to examine the smart garments used in the sports domain to enhance the health and well-being of athletes.Methods and analysisRelevant studies will be retrieved using predefined search terms from Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, PubMed and IEEE Xplore. The retrieved articles will be eliminated in two phases: title and abstract screening and full-text screening. The included articles will be primary studies published in the English language within the last 10 years. Subsequently, the included articles will be further studied to extract data using a data extraction form. The extracted data will undergo a thematic analysis. Also, quantitative analysis will be carried out using descriptive statistics.Ethics and disseminationThe results of this review will provide a comprehensive understanding of smart garment concepts used in the sports domain. The findings of this scoping review will be shared through a journal publication and a conference presentation. Ethical approval is not needed for this scoping review.Protocol registration numberDOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/34MF2 (https://osf.io/34mf2)

“…This information can be combined with recorded environmental conditions to predict the risk of heat stroke and further advise the user to take proper precautions. Because ordinary wearable devices have limited computational power, the physiological information collected by the sensors is usually first sent back to a paired smartphone through Bluetooth wireless communication and then processed by the smartphone [10]. Bluetooth wireless communication embedded in smart handheld devices has the advantage of low power consumption and easy connection [11].…”

When exercising in a high-temperature environment, heat stroke can cause great harm to the human body. However, runners may ignore important physiological warnings and are not usually aware that a heat stroke is occurring. To solve this problem, this study evaluates a runner’s risk of heat stroke injury by using a wearable heat stroke detection device (WHDD), which we developed previously. Furthermore, some filtering algorithms are designed to correct the physiological parameters acquired by the WHDD. To verify the effectiveness of the WHDD and investigate the features of these physiological parameters, several people were chosen to wear the WHDD while conducting the exercise experiment. The experimental results show that the WHDD can identify high-risk trends for heat stroke successfully from runner feedback of the uncomfortable statute and can effectively predict the occurrence of a heat stroke, thus ensuring safety.
