METHODSix relatively unfit young men (mean physical characteristics: ht 173 cm; wt 72 kg; body surface area 1.86 m2; age 25 yr) volunteered as subjects. Each subject had maximum oxygen uptake (vo2 111,,) determined from an incremental exercise test on a bicycle ergometer after a 5-min warm-up. Oxygen uptake was determined by an open circuit technique utilizing a Beckman paramagnetic oxygen analyzer, which was calibrated by means of atmospheric pressure variations prior to each measurement. On each of two days following VOW m&x measurement, each subject underwent a standardized sweat-sensitivity test (described below) for duplicate determination of the preacclimation chest sweating-rate-internal-temperature relationship. Subjects then began 10 consecutive days of exercise acclimation in cool ambience (T,= 22 “C). The exercise acclimation procedure consisted of exercising 1 h per day (four 15-min bouts separated by 5-min rest periods) on a bicycle ergometer at an intensity that induced a heart rate between 160 and 170 beats/min. This exercise intensity corresponded to between 70 and 80% Vo2 mnx. As a subject became increasingly fit on successive days, the exercise intensity was increased to maintain heart rate within the prescribed range.
