Abstract
The dynamic changes of human surface temperatures associated with peripheral vascular shifts during and following hand gripping, 1-legged ergometric and running exercise were studied. An AGA 680 thermovision system, incorporating a Bolex 16 mm camera and displaying 10-colored isotherms on a slave monitor, generated synchronous IR movies at 16 frames/s. Incremental increases in surface skin temperatures (Ts) were observed while gripping at 20, 50 and 80% of maximum with a peak rise of 1.7.degree. C. Thermographic recorded Ts changes during dynamic 1-legged exercise were higher in the exercising leg than the resting leg. Surface temperatures dropped in both limbs following exercise. The advantages of the use of thermography during transient thermal states, as produced by dynamic exercise, is supported by comparative Ts data taken from thermograms and thermistors.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
