Circulatory regulation during exercise in different ambient temperatures.

E R Nadel, E Cafarelli, M F Roberts

    Journal of Applied Physiology: Respiratory, Environmental and Exercise Physiology
    |March 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    During intense exercise in hot conditions, the body prioritizes maintaining cardiac output (Q) over regulating internal body temperature (Tes). This involves vasoconstriction, even when core temperature rises significantly.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Environmental Physiology
    • Human Thermoregulation

    Background:

    • Understanding physiological responses to exercise in varying environmental conditions is crucial.
    • Heat stress during exercise can significantly impact cardiovascular and thermoregulatory functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the interplay between exercise intensity, ambient temperature, core body temperature, cardiac output, and forearm blood flow.
    • To determine if circulatory regulation takes precedence over thermoregulation during strenuous exercise in heat.

    Main Methods:

    • Three fit subjects performed cycle ergometer exercise at moderate (40% Vo2 max) and heavy (70% Vo2 max) intensities.
    • Experiments were conducted across three ambient temperatures: 20°C, 26°C, and 36°C.

  • Internal body temperature (Tes) and cardiac output (Q) were measured, with Q estimated via rebreathing.

    • Main Results:

    • Internal body temperature rose consistently during heavy exercise in 36°C heat.
    • Cardiac output (Q) was proportional to oxygen consumption (Vo2) and largely independent of temperature.
    • Forearm blood flow's relationship with Tes was attenuated at high temperatures, indicating preferential blood flow distribution.

    Conclusions:

    • During heavy exercise in heat, relative vasoconstriction helps maintain stroke volume and cardiac output.
    • Circulatory regulation appears to be prioritized over thermoregulation under severe heat stress during exercise.
    • These findings highlight the body's adaptive strategies to maintain essential cardiovascular function in challenging environments.
