  • UV Radiation Exposure to Body Sites of Golfers and Effects of Clothing

    Open AccessHeewon Sung, Ann C SlocumARTICLEFamily and Consumer Sciences…2006References: 18

    This study focused on cumulative ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure to specific body sites of golfers and the effects of clothing in reducing UVR. Polysulphone film badges were used to measure personal exposure to UVB. Two experiments were conducted, in August and in October, at a midwestern golf course. Findings indicated that the upper back of golfers, such as the shoulders, back of the neck, and posterior arms, were more exposed to UVR than …

  • Measurement of Surface Area of 3‐D Body Scans to Assess the Effectiveness of Hats for Sun Protection

    Open AccessYoung‐a Lee, Susan P Ashdown et al.ARTICLEFamily and Consumer Sciences…2006References: 8

    Three‐dimensional (3‐D) body scans of golfers in active positions were used to generate a simulation of UV exposure by projecting a cone from the brims of a selection of five hat styles with different brim designs onto the body from two sun angles. From these scans, researchers measured the total body area that would be protected from UV exposure by calculating the surface area shadowed by the hat brims. Objective measurement data can provide val…
