Environmental Temperature and Energy Expenditure
Abstract
This study indicates that as the environmental temperature increases there is also an increase in metabolic rate of men performing a fixed activity. There was a significantly higher metabolic rate for men working at 100 deg F than at 85 deg and 70 deg F. Body temperatures also were significantly higher at 100 deg F than at deg 85 and 70 deg F environments. These data again suggest that there is an increase in energy requirements for men living and working in the heat.
