Body cooling and response to heat

J. H. Veghte 1 and Paul Webb 1

1 Department of Protective Equipment, Arctic Aeromedical Laboratory, APO 731, Seattle, Washington

Prior body cooling with cold air or water immersion increased human tolerance to a high level of heat stress. The lower the body temperature at the onset of the heat exposure, the greater the increase in tolerance times over the control values. Mean body temperature was the only discriminating criterion which successfully correlated with tolerance time in these experiments. Sudomotor activity in heat was inhibited by prior body cooling. It is postulated that the onset of sweating is due to a gradient effect, not to either peripheral or central control.
