Abstract:

In order to accurately evaluate the mobility performance of protective clothing and quantitatively analyze the adverse effects on the human musculoskeletal system, the current research progress in the mobility performance of protective clothing was reviewed in two aspects based on the methods of sports biomechanics, i.e., the external kinematic behavior and internal dynamic response of the human body. The performance characteristics related to human balance and stability were sorted out, the performance behaviors related to limb flexibility were summarized, and the dynamic response of the human body was analyzed. It was concluded that in the "clothing-human-environment" system, the size and structural design of protective clothing, the weight and distribution of the equipment, the body shape, the suitability of clothing and the human body, ambient temperature and ground conditions will all affect mobility performance of the protective clothing. Future researches in this area should further explore the relationship among various indicators to analyze differences in compensation strategies of clothed human bodies in the activity task, simulate the real working conditions to fully reveal the impact mechanism of the mobility performance of protective clothing, improve the accuracy of mobility performance evaluation and reasonably predict the risk of human bone and muscle injury.

Key words: protective clothing, mobility performance, sports biomechanics, clothed human body, musculoskeletal system
