Human Wear Trial Protocols
topic
Standardised human wear trials recruit panellists matched to target user demographics and subject them to defined activity protocols while collecting physiological measurements including core temperature, heart rate, and skin temperature alongside psychophysical ratings of warmth, dampness, prickle, stiffness, and overall comfort on validated Likert and visual analogue scales.
Role
Provides ecologically valid comfort data that correlates material properties with human perception, essential for validating instrumental test predictions and generating consumer-relevant performance claims for sportswear, underwear, and occupational garment development programmes.
