| Abstract |
The cardiovascular, water-electrolyte, renal and hormonal effects of physical work in normal and hot environments were studied in 29 mine rescue team volunteers. Each person was subjected to 5 x 105min training sessions of the same intensity in 4 different climates: dry temperature (ts) 24°C - wet temperature (th) 18°C; ts 38°C - th 29°C; ts 37°C - td 32°C; and ts 40°C - th 31°C. The results indicate that work in the high temperatures employed produces thermal, cardiovascular and water-electrolyte balance effects which remain well within physiological tolerance limits. |
