The clothes according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the garment according to the first embodiment includes a close contact portion 10 provided so as to be in close contact with the wearer's body. The close contact portion 10 has a fabric 1 and at least one convex portion 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the close contact portion 10 has a first portion 11 in which the convex portion 2 is not formed and a second portion 12 in which the convex portion 2 is formed. The second portion 12 is provided to enhance the information input to the somatosensory sensation (particularly tactile or pressure sensation) through a part of the wearer's skin surface in close contact with the close contact portion during the wearer's movement. It is an augmentation part. The close contact portion 10 has, for example, a plurality of second portions 12. In the garment according to the first embodiment, for example, the second portion 12 is narrower than the first portion 11, and the first portion 11 is the widest and widest portion of the close contact portion 10. In the garment according to the first embodiment, the second portion 12 may be wider than the first portion 11, and the second portion 12 may be the widest and widest portion of the close contact portion 10. For example, in a garment that adheres only to the buttocks where the amount of skin stretch is relatively large, even if the second portion 12 is wider than the first portion 11 and the second portion 12 is the widest and widest portion of the adhered portions 10. good.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fabric 1 has a skin surface 1A arranged in contact with the wearer's skin surface and an outer surface 1B located on the opposite side of the skin surface 1A. .. The fabric 1 is provided so as to expand and contract as the skin surface expands and contracts. The garment pressure of the fabric 1 is set so that the wearer can recognize the convex portion 2, and is, for example, 5 hPa or more. The clothing pressure is measured using a clothing pressure measuring device (manufactured by AMI Techno Co., Ltd., product name "contact pressure measuring device AMI3032-2 (2B)").

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the convex portion 2 is fixed to the skin surface 1A. When worn, the convex portion 2 comes into contact with a part of the wearer's skin surface that is in close contact with the close contact portion 10. The hardness of the convex portion 2 is higher than the hardness of the fabric 1. The convex portion 2 is harder than a part of the skin surface with which the convex portion 2 comes into contact when worn. The material constituting the convex portion 2 is, for example, a resin, specifically, a silicon resin. When the material constituting the convex portion 2 is a resin, the shore A hardness of the convex portion 2 is, for example, 50 or more and 90 or less. Shore A hardness is measured by a measuring method using a durometer type A specified in JIS standard K6253. The convex portion 2 is formed on the skin surface 1A of the fabric 1 by, for example, a resin print. The convex portion 2 may be a preformed molded body fixed to the fabric 1 by adhesion, crimping, sewing, fusion or the like.

The height h and shape of the ridge 2 are provided to stimulate at least one of tactile and pressure sensations without stimulating the wearer's pain sensations. The height h of the convex portion 2 is, for example, 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less. The height h of the convex portion 2 is measured using, for example, a caliper. The shape of the convex portion 2 is, for example, a hemispherical shape. The convex portion 2 has a flat surface fixed to the fabric 1 and a hemispherical surface arranged so as to be in contact with the skin surface. The shape of the convex portion 2 may be any shape, and may be, for example, a columnar shape, a conical shape, a triangular columnar shape, a triangular pyramidal shape, or an elliptical hemisphere. Further, the shape of the convex portion 2 may be any three-dimensional shape having a wavy ridgeline.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the close contact portion 10 has, for example, a plurality of convex portions 2. Each of the plurality of convex portions 2 is arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other. The interval L in the state where the fabric 1 is not stretched is, for example, 5 mm or more and 30 mm or less. The interval L is measured using, for example, a caliper.

In the garment according to the first embodiment, the second portion 12 as the strengthening portion is arranged so as to be in contact with a region of the skin surface having a relatively large amount of elongation during operation. The convex portion 2 is arranged so as to be in contact with a region of the skin surface having a relatively large amount of elongation during operation.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a region where the amount of elongation of the skin surface is large, which is measured when all the movements of pitching, hitting, and catching baseball are performed. The amount of elongation of the skin surface shown in FIG. 3 was calculated by creating a body three-dimensional CG model from the body segment information during movement. Specifically, the analysis was performed using the method described in Japanese Patent No. 3831348. In FIG. 3, the brightness of the skin surface indicates the degree of elongation of the skin surface, and the relatively dark region on the skin surface is the region where the elongation of the skin surface is large. As shown in FIG. 3, the amount of elongation of the skin surface around the neck, armpits, crotch, inside of the thigh, buttocks, knees, ankles, elbows, and wrists was larger than that of the other parts. rice field. In the garment according to the first embodiment, the convex portion 2 is arranged so as to be in contact with at least a part of the dark area of FIG. The second portion 12 of the close contact portion 10 is arranged so as to cover at least a part of the dark region of FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the garment according to the first embodiment is tights 100 provided so as to be in close contact with, for example, the lower body of a person, particularly the lower abdomen, buttocks and thighs. In tights 100, the convex portion 2 is arranged so as to be in contact with at least the skin surface of the buttocks, and the second portion 12 of the close contact portion 10 is arranged so as to cover at least the skin surface of the buttocks.

The tights 100 are formed with an opening 100A provided so as to pass through the abdomen of the wearer and two openings 100B provided so as to pass through both thighs of the wearer. The tights 100 have a front member 100f arranged so as to be in close contact with the skin surface on the front side of the wearer, and a rear member 100b arranged so as to be in close contact with the skin surface of the wearer's posterior wear. There is. The front member 100f and the rear member 100b are close contact portions 10. The entire front member 100f is, for example, the first portion 11. Of the posterior member 100b, the portion of the buttocks in contact with the skin surface is the second portion 12. The second portion 12 is arranged so as to be in contact with, for example, the buttocks and the skin surface on the posterior side of both thighs.

The garment according to the first embodiment includes a close contact portion 10 provided so as to be in close contact with the wearer's body, and the close contact portion 10 is a skin surface of the wearer who is in close contact with the close contact portion 10 during the wearer's operation. Includes a second portion 12 as an augmentation portion provided to augment the information input to the somatosensory through a portion. The second portion 12 has a convex portion 2 fixed to the skin surface 1A arranged so as to be in contact with the skin surface in the close contact portion 10.

By attaching the garment according to the first embodiment to a specific part of a person, it is possible to enhance the information input to the somatosensory of the part during operation as compared with the case where it is not attached, and the garment at the time of operation can be enhanced. It is possible to make the wearer accurately recognize the displacement amount, the exercise speed, and the current position of the site. As a result, the garment can improve the accuracy of the movement intended by the wearer (for example, golf swing) and can suppress the variation in the movement (for example, walking) that the wearer does not notice. That is, the above-mentioned garment can enhance the physical recognition of the wearer.

The second portion 12 as the strengthening portion is arranged so as to be in contact with a region of the skin surface having a relatively large amount of elongation during operation.

When the skin surface is stretched during operation, the second portion 12 of the close contact portion 10 is also stretched, and the stretch amount of the second portion 12 is proportional to the stretch amount of the skin surface during operation. Therefore, the stimulus given to the somatosensory by the convex portion 2 of the clothes is higher than the stimulus given to the somatosensory by the convex portion 2 arranged so as to be in contact with the region of the skin surface where the amount of elongation is relatively small during operation. ,Become stronger. As a result, the garment more effectively enhances the physical perception of the wearer as compared with the garment in which the convex portion 2 is arranged so as to be in contact with the region of the skin surface where the amount of elongation is relatively small during operation. Can be done.

In addition, when the close contact portion covers most of the body, the garment in which the convex portion is formed over the entire skin surface of the close contact portion may cause discomfort or pain to the wearer and interfere with normal operation. On the other hand, in the garment according to the first embodiment, since the area where the convex portion 2 is arranged is limited, the garment is worn as compared with the garment in which the convex portion is formed over the entire skin surface of the close contact portion. It is hard to give a person a feeling of strangeness or pain. Further, when the region where the convex portion 2 is arranged is limited to the region where the amount of elongation of the skin surface is large as in the garment according to the first embodiment, the region where the convex portion 2 is arranged is limited to the region where the convex portion 2 is arranged. It is less likely to cause discomfort or pain to the wearer than when it is simply limited without considering the amount of stretch of the skin surface.

In the garment according to the first embodiment described above, the arrangement of the second portion 12 is set in consideration of the amount of elongation of the skin surface during operation without considering the sensitivity of the somatosensory of the wearing portion. In the garment according to the first embodiment, the arrangement of the second portion 12 may be set in consideration of the sensitivity of the somatosensory of the wearing portion in addition to the amount of elongation of the skin surface during operation.

Specifically, in the garment according to the first embodiment, the second portion 12 as the strengthening portion has a somatosensory sensitivity in the region of the skin surface where the amount of elongation is relatively large and in the skin surface during operation. It may be arranged so as to be in contact with at least one of relatively high regions.

6 to 9 are diagrams showing the sensitivity distribution measured by a tactile test using a monofilament on the thigh and buttocks. In the tactile test, the subject prepares multiple filaments of different thickness, lowers each filament perpendicular to the skin surface at the test site, and presses the filament against the skin surface until the filament bends. It was evaluated whether or not the filament was recognized. In FIGS. 6 to 9, the area surrounded by the white line is the inspection area, the brightness in the area indicates the degree of sensitivity, and the relatively dark area is the area having high sensitivity in the tactile test (that is, that is). This is the area where the tactile sensation can recognize thinner filaments). As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the sensitivity of the inner thigh was higher than that of the outer thigh.

The convex portion 2 may be arranged so as to be in contact with at least one of the skin surfaces of body parts other than the thigh and buttocks, where the sensitivity of somatosensory is relatively high.

With reference to FIGS. 3 and 6-9, a portion of the dark region of FIG. 3 overlaps with a portion of the dark region of FIGS. 6-9. In other words, on the skin surface, there is a region where the amount of elongation of the skin surface is relatively large and the tactile sensitivity is relatively high. Further, a part of the bright area of FIG. 3 overlaps with the other part of the dark area of FIGS. 6 to 9.
