This is a review of thermal imaging methods used for the measurement of body surface temperatures, including the most important medical applications, papers on thermal maps of people with various body compositions, and the applicability of thermal imaging in sport training.

Purpose. The aim of the study was to analyse changes in body surface temperature after a cryostimulation session in women of two different age groups. Methods. The study included 21 female university students aged 21 ± 1.8 years and 15 middle-aged women aged 57.8 ± 3.6 years. All participants were subjected to the effects of extreme low temperature in a cryogenic chamber at -120˚C for 3 min. Body surface temperature measures were taken before and immediately after treatment by a thermal imaging camera. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the captured thermographic images was performed for 12 anterior and posterior body areas in the standing position. Results. Differences in body surface temperature were found between both age groups prior to the cryostimulation treatment. Temperatures ranged from 29.55° C to 33.49° C in the younger group and 30.45° C and 32.70° C in the older group for the same body areas. Lower temperatures were observed in the older subject group for all analysed areas. After cryostimulation, greater body cooling was observed in the younger group particularly in the lower limbs. The greatest temperature reduction in both groups was observed in the lower limbs, dropping a maximum of 6.31° C, whereas the lowest variation in temperature was observed in the shoulder area by approximately 2° C. Conclusions. The results of the study showed varied distribution of body surface temperature in both age groups. Lower temperatures of the trunk and shoulders were observed in older women compared with the younger women. Greater body cooling following cryostimulation was observed in the group of younger women particularly in the area of the lower limbs.

In order to achieve higher efficiency of training and thus better athletic performance, new research and diagnostic methods are constantly being developed, particularly those that are non-invasive. One such a method is thermography, suitable for quantitative and therefore objective evaluation of variables, such as changes in the temperature of the skin covering working muscles. The aim of this study was to use a thermal imaging infrared camera to evaluate temperature changes of symmetric body surfaces over symmetrically working muscles of male scullers after exercising on a two-oared rowing ergometer and compare these to asymmetrically working muscles of handball players after an endurance training session containing elements of an actual game. In the scullers, the mean temperature of body surfaces was always lower post than pre exercise, with no significant differences in an average temperature drop between the opposite sides, indicating that the work of the muscles involved in the physical exertion on the rowing ergometer was symmetrical. In contrast, in the handball players, skin temperatures in symmetric areas over the asymmetrically working muscles showed statistically significant differences between sides, which was associated with the functional asymmetry of training. This study indicates that thermal imaging may be useful for coaches in the evaluation of technical preparations in sports in which equal involvement of symmetric muscles is a condition of success, e.g. in scullers.

Cel pracy: Celem pracy było ukazanie wpływu zimowych kąpieli na parametry morfotyczne krwi oraz rozkład temperatury powierzchniowej ciała. Materiał i metody: Badania zostały przeprowadzone na grupie członków Krakowskiego Klubu Morsów „Kaloryfer”. Podczas sezonu trwającego od listopada do kwietnia zanurzali się oni regularnie (raz na tydzień) w wodzie o niskiej temperaturze. Od badanych osób pobrano dwukrotnie krew żylną, na początku sezonu oraz po jego zakończeniu. Wykonano zdjęcia termowizyjne przed zanurzeniem na 3 minuty w wodzie oraz po wyjściu z wody. Wyniki: Zaobserwowano istotne statystycznie zwiększenie się liczby czerwonych krwinek oraz hematokrytu oraz istotne statystycznie obniżenie się średniej masy hemoglobiny w krwince czerwonej oraz średniego stężenia hemoglobiny w krwince czerwonej. Nie stwierdzono istotnych statystycznie zmian w liczbie białych krwinek, liczbie płytek krwi, stężeniu hemoglobiny oraz średniej objętości krwinki czerwonej. Pod wpływem zanurzania się w wodzie o niskiej temperaturze nastąpiło obniżenie się temperatury powierzchniowej ciała u włączonych do badania osób. Wnioski: Regularne pływanie w zimnej wodzie wywołuje silne niepatologiczne zmiany we właściwościach hematologicznych krwi.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of regular winter swimming on the morphological parameters of blood and the distribution of body surface temperature among winter swimmers.Methods: The study involved 10 winter swimmers from the “Kaloryfer” Krakow Club of Winter Swimmers. During winter, from November through April, they regularly (once per week) immerse themselves in cold water. Venous blood samples were collected twice: at the beginning of the season and after the season. Thermal images were taken three minutes before immersion in cold water and immediately after it.Results: Swimming in cold water induced a significant increase in red blood cells and haematocrit and a significant decrease in mean corpuscular haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration. No changes were found in white blood cells, platelets, haemoglobin or mean corpuscular volume. Body surface temperature decreased due to immersion in cold water. Conclusions: Regular winter swimming results in considerable, non-pathological changes in haematological parameters and body surfacetemperature among winter swimmers.
