Effects of varied air velocity on sweating and evaporative rates during exercise

This study was designed to determine the extent to which changes in the evaporative power of the environment (Emax) affect sweating and evaporative rates. Six male subjects undertook four 60-min bouts of cycle ergometer exercise at 56% maximal O2 uptake (VO2max).Emax was varied by differences in ambient temperature and airflow; two exercise bouts took place at 24 degrees C and two at 35 degrees C, with air velocity at < 0.2 and 3.0 m/s in both. Total sweat production was estimated from body weight loss, whereas whole body evaporative rate was measured continuously from a Potter beam balance. Body core temperature was measured continuously from a thermocouple in the esophagus (T(es)), with mean skin temperature (Tsk) computed each minute from thermocouples at eight sites. Total body sweat loss was significantly greater (P < 0.05) in the 0.2- than in the 3.0-m/s condition at both 24 and 35 degrees C. Tsk was higher (P < 0.05) in the still-air conditions at both temperatures, but final T(es) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in still air only in the 35 degrees C environment. Thus the reduced Emax in still air caused a greater heat storage, thereby stimulating a greater total sweat loss. However, in part because of reduced skin wettedness, the slope of the sweat rate-to-T(es) relation at 35 degrees C in the 3.0-m/s condition was 118% that at 0.2 m/s (P < 0.005).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
