Abstract

Core temperature and heart rate are recorded for three male subjects, while jogging on a treadmill, to determine the influence of sweatsuits. Three trials were run and at each trial the subjects wore gym shorts and T-shirt, cotton sweat clothes, or vinyl sweat clothes. Results indicated the greatest physiological cost was required while exercising in vinyl sweat clothes and there was a significant difference in phsyiological cost due to the apparel worn.
