METHODSRespiratory water loss was determined from four subjects (Table 1) during steady-state bicycle exercise in four environments. The work rates were approximately 30, 50, 65, and 80% of maximum oxygen consumption. Measurements were recorded when the variables remained constant (between 5 and 20 min of exercise), Ambient conditions were 20, 26, 30, and 37” C with a water vapor pressure between 7 and 10 mm Hg. Low humidity environments were selected to maximize the humidity changes during breathing and to accentuate any differences between resting and exercise values. In the 37” C environment, the inspired and expired air humidities were measured by two methods. The first employed standard wet and dry bulb thermocouples placed in the expired airstream 0.5 m downstream from the Collins valve. In the second method, 500 ml/min of expired air was drawn through a resistance hygrometry circuit (5), and the humidity determined directly. Ventilatory volume was measured by a balanced spirometer. In the 20, 26, and 30” C environments, the ambient air temperature is below the dew point of the expired air, and condensation in the expired air lines would invalidate the humidity readings obtained by either of the two methods. For these tests, the expired air was diluted with a high flow rate of ambient air. Flow rate and wet and dry bulb temperatures of the air stream were measured. The relative humidity of the expired air could not be determined from these measurements alone, but the total evaporative water
