GIVONI, B., AND RF GOLDMAN. Predicting rectal temperature resfmnse to work, environment, and clothing. J. Appl. Physiol. 32 (6): 812-822. 1972.-Formulas, based on a biophysical model, have been developed which predict the time pattern of rectal tem-perature response to work, environmental conditions, and clothing properties. Three separate formulas appear to be required for the patterns of change in rectal temperature, one during rest in the heat, another for the rising stage during work, and a third for the recovery after cessation of work. The formulas involve the metabolic heat production, ambient climatic conditions(air temperature, vapor pressure, and velocity), and the total thermal resistance and evaporative coefficient of the clothing. Related formulas permit computation of the following components: a) metabolic heat production(with subject weight, speed, and grade of walking or running and load carried as factors); b) total thermal resistance and evaporative coefficient for clothing as functions of the ambient air velocity and the additional air motion produced by the working subject (ie, effective air speed); G) dry heat ex-change with the environment and maximum evaporative capacity derived from such clothing coefficients. Good agreement has been found between the prediction of these formulas and several experimental series at the US Army Research Institute of En-vironmental Medicine, as well as with studies elsewhere, heat stress; environmental tolerance; computer modelsTHE RESPONSE OF RECTAL temperature to changes in metabolic rate and environmental conditions has been studied in numerous experiments with unclothed subjects. There have been few studies with clothing however, and very few attempts to develop a formula which will describe the biophysical processes which determine the rectal tewnperature response with clothing. No formulation has included prediction of the time course of rectal temperature under given conditions of clothing, work, and exposure. Wissler (18) has suggested the use of a computer to simulate patterns of heat flow within the body and to the external environment, and thus predict variations of rectal temperature. His approach, however, is restricted in its present form to nude subjects and its validity has only been examined under an extremely narrow range of condirions. Givoni and Sohar (8) attempted to predict rectal temperature but the formula developed was limited to the prediction of its level after 30 min of exposure* Goldman(IO) has presented an approach to predicting heat production as a function of weight and heat loss as a function of clothing;
