In order to know physiological responses and the sensory rates after bathing, we experimented on difference of bathing time (5, 10, 15min). In summer, by healthy female young adults, rectal temperature, skin temperatures, pulse rate and the body weight decrease were measured. The subjects described their feeling of warmth and discomfort during the experiment.
The results, bathing time 15-min is the most large warm effect of a bathing. In addition its physiological burden also is large. Bathing for a purpose of a promotion of metabolism, we consider that bathing time 10-min seem better. Skin temperatures after bathing showed a remark-able fall. In order to its prevention and recovery, it is important that we examine the handling of body surface and clothing after bathing.
