Figure 1: Sweat capsules secured to five dorsal and five palmar sites.<br />

Auditory canal (insulated) and skin temperatures (Edale instruments Ltd., Cambridge, U.K.)<br />

were recorded at 5-s intervals (1206 Series Squirrel, Grant Instruments Pty Ltd., Cambridge,<br />

U.K.). Skin temperatures from eight regions were used to derive an area-weighted mean skin<br />

temperature (ISO 9886:1992), with six skin temperatures from dorsal and palmar surfaces of<br />

the hand also being recorded. Heart rate was also monitored (Vantage NV, Polar Electro<br />

SportTester, Finland).<br />

RESULTS<br />

From pre-exposure values of 36.9 o C and 77 b.min -1 , core temperature and heart rate increased<br />

by 0.3 o C and 5 b.min -1 during the 40-min rest period (P
