Influence of Incremental Work Tasks on Thermoregulation in Air and during Immersion in 18, 26 and 33 C Water: Special Reference to Moderately Fat Subjects.

Abstract

The present investigation has studied thermoregulation in a group of moderately fat (18-22% body fat) college-age men during water immersion, and the interrelationships between temperature (cold stress), work intensity (metabolic stress), and body composition (% body fat). The metabolic, thermal, and cardiovascular adjustments were determined at rest and during graded submaximal exercises in air and during water immersion at 18, 26 and 33 C.
