Thermal Increasing Information for Foot Surface during Jogging

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermography information of foot is playing very important role in body character and related products design. The purpose of this study is to investigate the distribution and change character of foot skin temperature variety during low-intensity movement. Totally 19 subjects participated in this testing, skin surface temperature monitor was using high-precision Infrared Thermal Imager. The average foot skin temperature existed a significant difference at rest condition. After 30min persistent low-intensity exercise, each area of the foot was increased, and the increasing trend was quite similar. This study could provide the basis of foot physiological function understanding.
