Assignment task:
Introduction:
Thermoregulation is the body's ability to maintain body temperature within a narrow (homeostatic) range despite large fluctuations in environmental temperatures (Gonzalez -Alonso 2012). Several different physiological effectors are involved in heat gain and heat loss mechanisms to maintain homeostasis (Morrison & Nakamura 2011). A stable body temperature is essential for optimal functioning of physiological systems and processes.
AIM:
To examine core and skin temperature, heart rate and oxygen consumption in response to 45 minutes of passive heating or cooling.
