## 2 Methodology
### Wear Trials
#### 2.3.3 Evaluation  
The study revealed a combination of thermal imaging, skin moisture analysis, and dermatological clinical evaluation to assess the impact of the cosmetic textiles on cellulite appearance and skin hydration.  
Cellular Tissue Measurement  
A thermal camera (FLIR E60, Teledyne FLIR, Arlington, VA, USA) was used to visualize the skin's topography and determine the condition of cellulite-affected tissue. Previous studies by [PERSON] et al. (2013) established thermal imaging as a repeatable and reproducible method for assessing cellulite ([PERSON] et al., 2013). The primary purpose of using the thermal camera in this study was to detect changes in cellulite tissue in targeted regions such as the hips, upper legs, and calves just before adaptation workout and right after the end of 6-week training period. Thermal images were evaluated using FLIR Thermal Studio Pro-1 software.  
To evaluate the moisturizing effect of the tested product on the skin, the Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) was measured using an MPA 6 Tewameter (Courage + Khazaka electronic, Koln, Germany) device. TEWL measurements are indicative of the skin's barrier function and its ability to retain moisture. The precise measurement locations and points for the analysis were detailed in Table 4. The participants' skin moisture analyses were conducted just before the adaptation workout and directly after completing the 6-week workout.  
Dermatological Clinical Evaluation  
A dermatological clinical assessment was performed by a specialist dermatologist to evaluate the participants' cellulite before the adaptation workout and at the end of 6-week training period. The grading was performed on a scale of 1 to 4, where 1 represents the lowest level of cellulite, and 4 indicates the most severe cellulite presence.  
All statistical analyses were conducted using the PASW 18 statistical analysis package. The \(p\)-values obtained were evaluated based on a significance level of \(p=0.05\). Repeated

Measures ANOVA tests were performed to assess the correlation within and between the evaluated factors. Since the data collected within the scope of the study were nonparametric, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was utilized in the statistical analyses. This test was conducted to determine whether there was a statistically significant difference between the means of two measurements taken from a single group over a specific time interval.
