Abstract
We investigated the sweating response during passive heating (partial submersion up to the umbilical line in 42¡¾0.5oC water, 30 min) after summer and winter seasonal acclimatization (SA). Testing was performed in July during the summer, 2011 [summer-SA; temp, 25.6¡¾1.8oC; relative humidity (RH), 82.1¡¾8.2%] and in January during the winter, 2012 (winter-SA; temp, ?2.7¡¾2.9oC; RH, 65.0¡¾13.1%) in Cheonan (126o52'N, 33.38'E), Republic of Korea. All experiments were carried out in an automated climatic chamber (temp, 25.0¡¾0.5oC: RH, 60.0¡¾3.0%). Fifteen healthy men (age, 23.4¡¾2.5 years; height, 175.0¡¾5.9 cm; weight, 65.3¡¾6.1 kg) participated in the study. Local sweat onset time was delayed during winter-SA compared to that after summer-SA (p£¼0.001). Local sweat volume, whole body sweat volume, and evaporative loss volume decreased significantly after winter-SA compared to those after summer-SA (p£¼0.001). Changes in basal metabolic rate increased significantly after winter-SA (p£¼0.001), and tympanic temperature and mean body temperature were significantly lower after summer-SA (p£¼0.05). In conclusion, central sudomotor acitivity becomes sensitive to summer-SA and blunt to winter-SA in Rebubic of Korea. These results suggest that the body adjusts its temperature by economically controlling the sweating rate but does not lower the thermal dissipation rate through a more effective evaporation scheme after summer-SA than that after winter-SA.
