运动状态下基于性别差异的人体热舒适研究

Abstract

Abstract: The development of fitness industry puts forward requirements for the improvement of thermal comfort levels of sports buildings and the thermal satisfaction needs of different gender groups. Three kinds of moderate-activity exercise levels are selected, and experiments in the climate chamber conducted. During the experiments, the subjects regulate the air temperatures according to self-thermal comfort demands. Then the indoor air temperature measurement and the statistics of human physiological parameters and subjective questionnaire voting are also conducted. Thus thermal comfort characteristics between male and female in different activities are discussed. Results show that: at the same activity level, there are no significant differences for these multiple physiological parameters and subjective questionnaire votes, except for the higher heart rate of female. At the paces of 4, 5 and 6 km/h, the preferred temperatures of female are respectively 1.6, 0.3 and 0.9 ℃ higher than the male. The thermal comfort for female is relatively lower than that for male for the same thermal sensation and also expresses more sensitivity to the thermal comfort variations. On the basis of these results, the spatial environmental parameters aiming at different activity levels are proposed based on the respective thermal demands of different gender, which would provide theoretical evidence for constructing suitable indoor environment of sports buildings.

Key words: activity level, preferred temperature, thermal comfort, gender difference, indoor environment construction
