Heat stress and acclimation / Bodil Nielsen

Sumario: Heat stress reduces the capability for sustained exercise. Onthe other hand, with repeated exposures to hot environments, exhaustion is delayed. This paper examines the hypothesis that high core temperature might be the ultimate cause of the fatigue and inability to continue to exercise in hot dry environmental conditions. It is suggested that a high core temperature is the ultimate cause of fatigue due to heat stress
