Trail running socks with the same fibers and design but with different separations of their three-dimensional waves could have different thermoregulatory effects. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the temperatures reflected on the sole of the foot after a mountain race with the use of two models of socks with different wave separations.
In a sample of 34 subjects (twenty-seven men and seven women), the plantar temperature was analyzed with the thermal imaging camera Flir E60bx (Flir systems, Wilsonville, OR, USA) before and after running 14 km in mountainous terrain at a hot temperature of 27 °C. Each group of 17 runners ran with a different model of separation between the waves of the tissue (2 mm versus 1 mm). After conducting the post-exercise thermographic analysis, a Likert-type survey was conducted to evaluate the physiological characteristics of both types of socks.
There was a significant increase in temperature in all areas of interest ( < 0.001) after a 14 km running distance with the two models of socks. The hallux zone increased in temperature the most after the race, with temperatures of 8.19 ± 3.1 °C and 7.46 ± 2.1 °C for the AWC 2.2 and AWC 3, respectively. However, no significant differences in temperature increases were found in any of the areas analyzed between the two groups. Runners perceived significant differences in thermal sensation between AWC 2.2 socks with 4.41 ± 0.62 points and AWC 3 with 3.76 ± 1.03 points ( = 0.034).
Both models had a similar thermoregulatory effect on the soles of the feet, so they can be used interchangeably in short-distance mountain races. The perceived sensation of increased thermal comfort does not correspond to the temperature data.
具有相同纤维和设计但三维波浪间距不同的越野跑鞋袜可能具有不同的温度调节效果。因此，本研究的目的是使用两种波浪间距不同的袜子模型，评估山地赛后脚底的温度。
在34名受试者（27名男性和7名女性）的样本中，使用热成像相机Flir E60bx（美国俄勒冈州威尔逊维尔的Flir系统公司）在27°C的高温下于山区地形跑14公里前后，分析足底温度。每组17名跑步者穿着组织波浪间距不同的不同模型袜子跑步（2毫米对1毫米）。在进行运动后热成像分析后，进行了李克特式调查以评估两种袜子的生理特征。
使用两种袜子模型在跑14公里后，所有感兴趣区域的温度均显著升高（<0.001）。比赛后拇趾区域温度升高最多，AWC 2.2和AWC 3的温度分别为8.19±3.1°C和7.46±2.1°C。然而，两组之间在任何分析区域的温度升高均未发现显著差异。跑步者感觉到AWC 2.2袜子（4.41±0.62分）和AWC 3袜子（3.76±1.03分）之间的热感觉存在显著差异（=0.034）。
两种模型对脚底具有相似的温度调节效果，因此它们可在短距离山地赛中互换使用。热舒适度增加的感知感觉与温度数据不相符。
