Research on the cooling garment based on acupoints cold stimulation under a high-temperature environment

When the human body experiences heat stress beyond the normal range, it may affect health and work efficiency to a certain extent. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cold stimulation on Dazhui point (GV14), bilateral Xinshu points (B15), bilateral Danshu points (B19), and bilateral...

Zusammenfassung:When the human body experiences heat stress beyond the normal range, it may affect health and work efficiency to a certain extent. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cold stimulation on Dazhui point (GV14), bilateral Xinshu points (B15), bilateral Danshu points (B19), and bilateral Quchi points (LI11) in the body to relieve heat strain in a high-temperature environment. The experiment results showed that the skin temperature (Tskin), tympanic temperature (Tty), heart rate (HR), the physiological strain index based on heart rate (PSIHR), thermal sensation (TS), and thermal comfort (TC) of the participants with acupoints cold stimulation were better than those without acupoints cold stimulation (p < 0.05). Tskin decreased by an average of 0.04 ± 0.46Ԩ. Tty decreased by an average of 0.08 ± 0.21Ԩ. The study concluded that cold stimulation at acupoints could reduce the heat strain and improve the thermal comfort of the human body.
