PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES TO A CHANGING THERMAL LOAD,
Abstract
Two series of experiments were conducted. In series 1 the work load (metabolic heat production) was constant while the environmental heat load was increased stepwise at 45-minute intervals from comfort conditions to severe heat conditions. In series 2, the environmental heat load was constant while the metabolic heat load was progressively increased during the 45-minute intervals from light to moderate work levels. Comparative data were obtained from these experiments on the physiological responses to a changing environmental heat load and to a changing metabolic heat load which permitted an evaluation of differences in intra- and inter-individual responses to heat and the resulting physiological strain.
