Data are means ± SE for 11 subjects. Cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, femoral venous pressure, and systemic vascular conductance during heat stress at rest and one-legged knee extensor exercise.

Different from control, P < 0.05;

different from skin hyperthermia, P < 0.05;

^†

different from skin and mild core hyperthermia. Significance was accepted at P < 0.05 and refers to differences in the respective conditions, i.e., either rest or exercise.
