Problems on providing ergonomic correspondence for the clothing for mountain skiers

Abstract

The growing interest for active rest in the mountain zones determines the need to study the design of special destination suits that would provide both for the ergonomic correspondence and for the safety of human life. This work presents the results of theoretical studies of the biomechanics of for the skiers separating the constituent phases of movement on the snow. The analysis of these movements allowed to determine the body parts most actively involved in the movements. The biomechanical aspects considered by the study were used as basis for analyzing the complex of specific movements that allowed to identify the anthropometric indicators of maximum variability in dynamics with direct impact over the degree of ergonomic correspondence of products. The ergonomic study allowed to perform the calculations of dynamic effects for the identified anthropometric indicators and to determine the constructive additions used for the elaboration of main imprints of constituent products of mountain skiing suits. The process of designing new models of mountain skiing suits for women was preceded by the study of constructive-technological solutions capable of providing the necessary ergonomic indicators. A solution has been elaborated for the problem of correspondence of the following ergonomic indicators: convenience of use, protection and ventilation of underwear space and dynamic correspondence.
