Values are represented as means ± SD; n represents number of subjects. The time to HR and Tc inflection was analyzed using a two-way repeated-measures ANOVA. The difference in time (Δt) between HR and Tc inflection was analyzed using a one-way ANOVA. Physiological response (i.e., HR vs. Tc): P = 0.01 (MinAct), P = 0.0002 (LightAmb); environmental condition: P = 0.14 (MinAct), P = 0.07 (LightAmb); interaction (physiological response × environmental condition): P = 0.61 (MinAct), P = 0.50 (LightAmb). HR, heart rate; LightAmb, light ambulation; MinAct, minimal activity; Tc, core temperature; Δt, difference in time between HR and core temperature inflection points.
