Fig. 6From: Evaluation of newly developed wearable ear canal thermometer, mimicking the application to activities on sports and labor fieldsRectal (Trec) and ear canal temperature (Tear) during standing rest and treadmill exercise with intermittent fanning (A) in a hot environment and the Bland–Altman plot for the resting (B) and exercise periods (C). Values are means ± SD. Black bars in A denote the period during which fanning was applied. *, Significant difference between Trec and Tear, P < 0.05. †, Significant difference from time 0 min in Trec, P < 0.05. §, Significant difference from time 0 min in Tear, P < 0.005. Solid and dashed lines in B and C indicate Mean and 95% LoA, respectively. The number of the data points is also presentedBack to article page
