This study introduces an intelligent adaptive seating system that optimizes the athlete's thermal-humidity microenvironment for better recovery. The system uses sensors to regulate temperature and humidity, enhancing comfort and heat dissipation.
Area of Science:
- Sports Science
- Environmental Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Athlete recovery is significantly impacted by the thermal-humidity microenvironment.
- Current environmental systems in athletic venues are costly and lack personalized control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an intelligent adaptive seating system for athlete recovery.
- To optimize the microenvironment using multifunctional climate control.
Main Methods:
- Developed an intelligent adaptive seating system with AHT20 temperature and humidity sensors.
- Monitored real-time facial temperature and humidity to create a physiological profile.
- Implemented intelligent analysis to automatically adjust heating, cooling, and dehumidifying devices.
Main Results:
- The system effectively alleviates high thermal-hygrometric conditions.
- Promoted heat dissipation and improved respiratory comfort for athletes.
- Demonstrated the system's ability to optimize the seat's microenvironment.
Conclusions:
- The intelligent adaptive seating system offers a feasible solution for athlete recovery.
- The system provides individualized climate control, addressing limitations of existing systems.
- Supports athlete recovery by creating optimal thermal-humidity conditions.

Pharmacological Methods of Reducing Fever:
Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.
Step 3: Assess the patient's...
Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...
Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal
Follow these steps for rectal temperature assessment:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves to prevent cross-infection.
Step 2: Position the patient in a side-lying position to better visualize the rectal...
