Fall in skin temperature during exercise observed by thermography

T Nakayama, Y Ohnuki, K Kanosue

    The Japanese Journal of Physiology
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Skin temperature decreases during exercise, even without sweating. Higher exercise intensity leads to a greater temperature drop and affects a larger skin surface area.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Exercise Science
    • Thermoregulation

    Background:

    • Understanding skin temperature regulation during physical activity is crucial for performance and health.
    • Previous research has focused on thermoregulation with sweating, but non-sweating responses require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the changes in skin temperature during exercise without sweating.
    • To determine the effect of exercise intensity on skin temperature patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized monochromatic and colored thermography to visualize skin temperature.
    • Monitored skin temperature changes during and after exercise cessation.
    • Varied exercise intensities to assess their impact.

    Main Results:

    • Skin temperature decreased immediately upon exercise onset and remained low during activity.
    • A rapid increase in skin temperature was observed post-exercise.
    • Higher work intensities correlated with a proportional fall in skin temperature.
    • Increased exercise intensity also led to a greater surface area exhibiting lowered skin temperature.

    Conclusions:

    • Exercise without sweating induces a significant drop in skin temperature.
    • Exercise intensity is a key determinant of the magnitude and extent of skin temperature reduction.
    • Thermography is an effective tool for visualizing non-sweating thermoregulatory responses during exercise.
