This article investigates the potential impact of thermal comfort on university teachers' and students' outdoor exercise via a case study of the thermal comfort of outdoor sports at the two campuses of Xi'an Jiaotong University-Xingqing Campus and Innovation Harbour Campus. Thermal comfort analysis is a crucial topic of urban environmental studies, but it has not yet been integrated with research on the improvement of outdoor sports spaces. This article is an attempt to fill this gap, using meteorological data gathered from a weather station and questionnaires gathered from the respondents. With collected data, the present research then uses linear regression to probe into the relationship between Mean Thermal Sensation Vote (MTSV), Mean Thermal Comfort Vote (MTCV), and MPET, to demonstrate general trends and display the PET values when TSV is most ideal. The results show that the significant differences in thermal comfort between the two campuses exert little impact on people's will to exercise. Under the ideal thermal sensation, the calculated PET values for the Xingqing Campus and Innovation Harbour Campus were 25.55°C and 26.61°C respectively. The article ends with concrete suggestions on practical strategies to improve the thermal comfort of outdoor sports spaces.
本文通过对西安交通大学兴庆校区和创新港校区户外体育活动热舒适的案例研究，探讨了热舒适对高校师生户外锻炼的潜在影响。热舒适分析是城市环境研究的一个重要课题，但尚未与改善户外体育空间的研究相结合。本文试图填补这一空白，使用气象站收集的气象数据和受访者收集的问卷。利用收集到的数据，本研究进一步使用线性回归探讨了平均热感觉投票（MTSV）、平均热舒适投票（MTCV）和平均预计热感觉（MPET）之间的关系，以展示总体趋势，并显示 TSV 最理想时的 PET 值。结果表明，两校区热舒适的显著差异对人们的锻炼意愿影响不大。在理想的热感觉下，兴庆校区和创新港校区的计算 PET 值分别为 25.55°C 和 26.61°C。文章最后提出了改善户外体育空间热舒适的具体策略建议。
