温度传感纺织品已被提出用于各种应用，包括健康监测和运动。皮肤温度（T-sk）测量是性能运动中的重要参数，可用于更好地了解运动期间的体温调节。目前，大多数T（s）（k）测量是使用皮肤安装的热敏电阻进行的，这可能会让佩戴者感到不舒服，或者使用热成像进行的，这可能难以实现和分析。本文研究了在次极量循环试验中使用纺织感温电子纱线（E-yarns）测量人体皮肤温度的可行性。将E-纱线连接到市售骑行服上，并在休息和次最大骑行期间使用E-纱线和皮肤安装的热敏电阻记录测量值。比较两种温度感测方法之间的温度读数，以确定将温度感测E-纱线用于该应用的可行性。在T（sk）测量之间的差异高达5.9摄氏度的E-纱线和皮肤安装热敏电阻的参与者在休息已被证明。这项工作还发现，在某些情况下，汗液的积累显著改变了E-纱线记录的T（sk）。进一步的实验探索了盐溶液（模拟汗液）对温度传感E纱线的响应的影响。这项工作突出了使用电子纺织品进行pointT（sk）测量的边界条件。
Temperature-sensing textiles have been proposed for a variety of applications, including health monitoring and sports. Skin temperature (T-sk) measurements are an important parameter in performance sports and can be used to better understand thermoregulation during exercise. Currently, mostT(s)(k)measurements are taken using skin-mounted thermistors, which can be uncomfortable to the wearer, or thermal imaging, which can be difficult to implement and analyze. This work investigates the feasibility of using textile temperature-sensing electronic yarns (E-yarns) to measure human skin temperature during sub-maximal cycling trials. E-yarns were attached to commercially available cycling suits and measurements were recorded using both the E-yarns and the skin-mounted thermistors at rest and during sub-maximal cycling. Temperature readings were compared between the two temperature-sensing methodologies to determine the viability of using the temperature-sensing E-yarns for this application. Differences in theT(sk)measurements as high as 5.9celcius between the E-yarns and skin-mounted thermistors for participants at rest have been shown. This work has also identified that a build-up of sweat significantly altered theT(sk)recorded by the E-yarns in some cases. Further experiments explored the effect of saline solutions (simulating sweat) on the response of the temperature-sensing E-yarns. This work has highlighted boundary conditions for taking pointT(sk)measurement using electronic textiles.
