抄録（英）
Human body, which skeletal muscle against the gravity such as soleus muscle in the leg is well developed, has been evolved to move keeping the standing position under the gravity of the earth. Standing position asks us the upper part of the body keeping suitable against the direction of gravity, however sometimes it associates with the difficulty. We produced the underwear to improve body function to stimulate via the skin at the shoulder. We studied the performance of the body ability such as energy metabolism, cardiorespiratory function, and analyses of posture and motion under the condition with and without wearing the underwear. Wearing the underwear, the posture was changed that shoulder shifted backward and the respiration rate in resting state was decreased from 10.6 times per minute to 8.3 times per minute. In the microgravity environment, it is known that astronauts have a neutral body posture. We expect that this underwear to improve the posture in the 1 G environment also makes the posture appropriate condition and body function well in the microgravity environment.
