Effects of local and whole body heating on intestinal, muscle, skin, and local temperatures

	Normothermic Baseline	Local Heating	Whole Body Heating
Intestinal temperature, °C	37.2 ± 0.2	37.2 ± 0.3	38.2 ± 0.4*†
Muscle temperature, °C	33.4 ± 1.0	37.4 ± 0.8*	37.3 ± 0.5*
Mean skin temperature, °C	34.2 ± 0.5	35.6 ± 0.6*	38.5 ± 0.4*†
Local skin temperature, °C	31.9 ± 0.9	39.6 ± 1.0*	36.9 ± 2.1*†

Values are means ± SD. Local temperature is the temperature from the probe on the skin adjacent to the intramuscular probe.

^*P < 0.05 compared with normothermic baseline;

^†P < 0.05 compared with local heating.
