Consistency between physiological indices and subjective assesment of comfort

The investigation of wear comfort with volunteers is among the best modes to determine whetear a group of people consider the environment comfortable. In this experiment, volunteers performed physical activity wearing three different clothing ensambles produced from the cotton, viscose and polyester single jersey knitted fabric. In order to evaluate the subjective sensation, questionnaires were given to each volunteer before the start and after the end of performed work. The questionnaires included the perception of comfort, as well as the thermal and moisture sensation. The mass of each garment was measured before start of experiment and the end of it. The results indicated the correlation between physiological indice and rates given by volunteers. The absence of differences in the perception of heat and moisture among diferent materials was noted in the preparatory period. By the end of the investigation, the differences were significant and affected the total sensation of comfort.
