The working hypothesis was that the skin temperature under each insulation disk would increase to a value corresponding to a specific muscle temperature measured by a control probe at 0.8±0.2, 1.3±0.2, 1.8±0.2, 2.3±0.2, and 2.8±0.2cm below the skin surface. Eight subjects sat for 120min while lateral thigh skin temperatures and vastus lateralis muscle temperature were directly measured. Vastus lateralis temperature was estimated non-invasively using two 5cm diameter foam neoprene disks which were placed on top of the skin temperature probes (from time 60 to 120min) located at 15.3 and 26.3cm superior to the patella. The disks at the two locations were 3.2 and 4.8mm thick, respectively. The placement of the 3.2- and 4.8-mm disks on the thigh for a minimum of 15 and 20min, respectively, resulted in an increase in skin temperature under the disks which corresponded to the lateral thigh muscle temperature measured directly and invasively at 0.8±0.2 and 1.3±0.2cm, respectively, below the skin.
