Physiological Studies of Heat Stress Acclimation during a Specific Exercise Regimen.

Abstract

Eleven subjects were used to determine the effects of racquetball on core temperature, skin temperature, sweat production, and weight loss. The results indicated that an hour of racquetball play produced a significant increase in core temperature, a significant decrease in skin temperature, a high level of sweating and a weight loss. It was concluded that the exercise regimen of racquetball can act as a good heat stress acclimator by virtue of finding that it produced a significantly high level of hyperthermia. (Author)
