Title Thermoregulation input/output during rest and exercise
Original title Antriebe und effektorische Massnahmen der Thermoregulation bei Ruhe und während körperlicher Arbeit [in German]
Bibliographic information 20 Mar. 1972, Vol.30, No.2, p.119-141, and May 1972, No.3, p.186-206. 58 ref.
Abstract Part 1 deals with experimental data on human climatic chamber tests. Part 2 studies correlations between body and skin temperature and thermoregulation output on the basis of this data (sweat rate, internal thermal conductance, metabolic acceleration in cold environment). Part 3 describes studies on the effect of water balance on thermoregulation during work and rest. Part 4 gives a mathematical model of thermoregulation during rest and exercise based on the input/output correlations deduced in the earlier parts.
