Abstract

The aim of the research is to get insight into the changes of body temperature of an athlete in order to perform detailed body mapping. Developed body maps are to be further used for design of ergonomic sportswear for a futsal player. In the experimental part in this paper is used thermal camera FLIR E6. The measurement is conducted with participation of active futsal player, before and after a number of training sessions. The measurement is carried in standard conditions for a futsal training, i.e. indoor environment. The measured values of temperature are observed before and after intensive exercise for the zones of upper and lower body and used to develop body maps. The outcomes of the research are to be used for the development of personalized ergonomic futsal sportswear.
