Table 2.

Heat balance parameters at a target heat production of 500 W in participants of large (LG) or small (SM) body size.

LG SM P-value
External Work (W) 97 ± 11 104 ± 10 0.28
Hprod (W) 510 ± 45 463 ± 43 0.06
Hprod (W·kg−1) 5.3 ± 0.4 7.1 ± 0.9* < 0.01
%VO2max 44.1 ± 5.6 53.9 ± 7.4* 0.01

Data represent means ± standard deviations for 11 participants per group.

*

Significantly greater in SM compared to LG.

Hprod, rate of metabolic heat production.

%VO2max, percentage of maximal oxygen uptake.
