Accumulation of Sweat in Clothing During Interval Exercise in Cold Environment

Abstract

In cold environment (-15 deg C, air velocity 2.5 m/s) interval exercise with exercise/rest periods of 30/30 minutes caused greater accumulation of sweat into clothing during a 120 minutes exercise/rest protocol as compared to 10/10 minutes exercise/rest protocol. The amount of sweating body temperature and physiological strain were comparable in the two protocols. These findings suggest that the evaporation of sweat from clothing during prolonged interval exercise in cold environment can be an important factor affecting thermal protection.
