Using an infrared thermography, the bust surface temperature was measured during wheelchair exercise. Five young men were subjected to a wheelchair exercise with a speed of 2km/hour on a tread-mill inclined 2 degrees to horizon. The infrared images of the bust were photographed at 3-minutes interval during 21-minutes wheelchair exercise and at 2-minutes interval during subsequent 18-minutes recovery. The surface temperature was found to rise heterogeneously in the bust during both the exercise and recovery. The temperature in the palm, forearm, and shoulder generally tended to rise high compared to other part of the bust. These parts are known to show high activity signals of EMG under wheelchair exercise. This result indicates that the surface temperature could be an index of muscle activity during exercises. The time courses of the temperatures were also presented, and some factors such as blood flow and fat thickness, which influence the body surface temperature were discussed.
