Table 3.

Heat balance parameters at a target heat production of 5.3 W·kg−1 in participants of large (LG) or small (SM) body size.

LG SM P-value
External work (W) 97 ± 11* 75 ± 8 < 0.01
Hprod (W) 510 ± 45* 331 ± 40 < 0.01
Hprod (W·kg−1) 5.3 ± 0.4 5.4 ± 0.2 > 0.99
%VO2max 44.1 ± 5.6 39.5 ± 7.6 0.56

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

*

Significantly greater in LG compared to SM.

Hprod, rate of metabolic heat production.

%VO2max, percentage of maximal oxygen uptake.
