Saturday, 02/12/2023, 09:59(GMT +7)

Research on rectal temperature changes in 30 healthy male and female students, who were born and grown up in the northern provinces, is conducted in the microclimate laboratory.

Experiments are conducted in three temperature levels: 260C, 340C and 380C (with the same humidity of 80% and wind speed ≤ 0.2m/s) and four metabolic levels: sitting, low metabolism, medium metabolism and high metabolism. Results of the research show that the hot and humid environment increases rectal temperature of people who have not adapted to high temperature. With regard to the increase in rectal temperature and the physical activities of people who have not adapted to the hot and humid environment, this environment has combined effects, increasing the physical burden by 1-2 grades compared with the load they carry.
