Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop an arm-suit using the pressure sensor-array to measure the pressure distribution around swimmer's hand and arm. We put 12 small pressure sensors on swimmer's hand worn by a latex glove. The fluid force acting on the hand during sculling motion was estimated from the pressure sensor value, and the pressure distributions were observed. Pressure of the palm at the leading edge side was higher than that of dorsal surface. This pressure differences occurred after the transition phase of the motion direction change and the fluid force acting on the hand increased simultaneously. As a result, the pressure distributions during the swimming motion relies on the motion direction(velocity) changes.
