Title: Infrared Thermography Analysis of Temperature Changes and Performance in Active and Inactive Sportsmen Across Multiple Laps
Keywords: active sportsmen, Infrared thermography, performance analysis, temperature changes, thermal regulation

Abstract: This study investigates temperature changes and performance differences between active and inactive sportsmen using infrared thermography during a multi-lap exercise. Infrared thermography was employed to monitor the surface temperature of the participants throughout the activity. The experiment involved tracking temperature variations across multiple laps to identify patterns related to physical activity levels and performance. Results highlight the relationship between activity levels and thermal regulation, showing distinct differences in temperature response and physical performance between active and inactive individuals. These findings provide insights into the potential applications of infrared thermography in sports science and performance analysis.
