It has been well known that far infrared rays radiated from ceramics fiber has thermal effect on humans. This study aimed to investigate if the fabric containing the ceramics fiber, with which the seat and back of chair (FIR) was covered, improve the problems of office workers such as neck - shoulder stiffness and cold sensation of the limbs as compared with non-ceramic fiber chair (BLANK). Ten healty male students (22.31±1.1year-old) volunteered for the study. The decrement of skin temperatures of the dorsal hand and foot at FIR was decreased. The activity of frontal muscle kept a resting level at FIR during mental work, but increased at BLANK and the enhancement of arousal level above optimum was also estimated from the increase in the inclination angle of the trunk at BLANK. It was suggested that FIR might keep the arousal level moderate and improve cold sensation of limbs.
