To provide an exercise garment with crotch part that is capable of sufficiently improving performance of various types of exercises accompanied by three-dimensional movements such as rotation of the trunk and rotation/outward rotation/inward rotation of both legs. In an exercise garment with crotch part, when it is being worn, tightening forces of first tightening portions act on the muscle groups existing around the greater trochanter, so that the muscle groups are supported to broaden the extent of mobility of the pelvic band. On the other hand, on the inside of the closed-loop first tightening portions, the space between a first line and a second line gradually becomes wider toward the greater trochanter position, whereby a side hole is formed. Due to such formation of the side hole, the greater trochanter of the wearer is prevented from being pressed directly by the first tightening portions. Therefore, in the exercise garment with crotch part, the first tightening portions can support the muscle groups surrounding the greater trochanter and the side hole can secure flexibility of the pelvic band, whereby performance of various types of exercises can be effectively improved.

Disclosed is a glass material for press forming providing an optical element having a sufficient optical performance without surface cracks, cloudiness, scratches, and the like even when the glass material contains a highly reactive component. Also disclosed are an optical element having a sufficient optical performance without surface cracks, cloudiness, scratches, and the like and a method for manufacturing the same. Specifically disclosed is a glass material for press forming which comprises a core portion composed of multicomponent optical glass and a surface glass layer covering at least a region serving as an optical functional surface of the core portion. The surface glass layer contains more than 90 mass % of SiO, and the thickness of the layer is less than five nanometers. Also specifically disclosed is a method for manufacturing a glass optical element by heating the glass material and by press forming the softened glass material using a forming die. Yet also specifically disclosed is a press formed glass optical element having a core portion composed of multicomponent optical glass and a surface glass layer covering at least an optical functional surface of the core portion. The surface glass layer contains more than 90 mass % of SiO, and the thickness of the layer is less than five nanometers.

An exercise garment according to which the exercise performance in various types of exercise accompanied by rotation of the trunk and movement of the arms can be sufficiently improved. The exercise garment includes first tightening portions exerting tightening forces on the scapulae and scapula-surrounding muscle groups, so that the scapulae and the scapula-surrounding muscle groups are supported such that the extent of mobility of the scapulae is broadened. The tightening force due to one of the first tightening portions is transmitted to the other first tightening portion via second tightening portions. As a result, movement of one scapula linked to the movement of the other scapula is promoted, and the extent of mobility of the scapulae is further broadened. Consequently, the flexibility around the shoulders during exercise in which the left and right shoulders are working together can be effectively increased.

There is disclosed a scrub cleaning device which can reduce cleaning time and which requires no large-scaled device for transferring a substrate to the next cleaning process. The scrub cleaning device comprises: a scrub padprovided with two annular plate scrubbers', and wheels&#x2032; for supporting an inner peripheral surface A of the annular plate scrubber and a surface B opposite a scrub surface so that the scrub surfaces of the two annular plate scrubbers&#x2032; fit each other, and for rotating the scrubber around-the central shaft of the annular plate scrubber; and a guide member (not shown), disposed along the outer periphery of the scrub pad, for conveying the substrate in the rotation direction of the scrub pad, and the scrub cleaning of the substrate is performed when the substrate held between the two opposite scrubbers&#x2032; is conveyed in the rotation direction of the scrubbers&#x2032; by rotation of the scrub pad, and rotated by a friction force generated by abutment on the guide member.
