    Author: Jeong WS, Tokura H.
    Journal: Int J Biometeorol; 1989 Jun; 33(2):77-81. PubMed ID: 2759723.
    Abstract:
    The experiment was conducted to investigate the human thermoregulatory responses during rest, exercise and recovery at Ta 20 degrees C and 60% R.H. under the conditions of wearing two different types of clothing. Six healthy men wore two types of clothing: one covering the whole body area except the head (Type A, weight 1656 g), and the other covering only the trunk, upper arms and thighs (Type B, weight 996 g). The level of rectal temperature was kept significantly higher in Type B than in Type A during rest and recovery. The increased and decreased rates of rectal temperature during exercise and recovery were significantly greater in Type A than in Type B, respectively. These findings are discussed from the viewpoint of the differences of skin temperatures of the extremities between Type A and Type B.
