BACKGROUND: High solar radiation from the sun in the heat outdoor may be impaired exercise capacity. This study aimed to compare the effects of different levels of solar radiation on exercise capacity and evaluate skin temperature responses in the heat. METHODS: Seven male participants performed cycling exercise at 60% of their maximal oxygen uptake until volitional exhaustion in hot outdoor environments (approximately 33-35 degrees C, 40-50% relative humidity) under both clear sky (high solar radiation trial: 1062 +/- 50 W/m2) and under thick clouds (low solar radiation trial: 438 +/- 52 W/m2). RESULTS: The time to exhaustion of the participants was shorter in the high solar radiation trial (32.0 +/- 12.4 min) than in the low solar radiation trial (39.2 +/- 18.0 min: P=0.045). Mean skin temperature was significantly higher in the high solar radiation trial than that in the low solar radiation trial (P
