The aim of this work is to apply performance indicators for individuals under physical activity
based on the concepts of exergy destroyed and exergy efficiency. The cardiopulmonary …

The first and second laws of thermodynamics were applied to the human body in order to
evaluate the quality of the energy conversion during muscle activity. Such an …

Some authors have been applying the exergy analysis to thermal comfort, where the
environmental conditions for minimal exergy destruction are claimed to correspond to …

Exergy analysis is applied to assess the quality of the energy conversion processes that take
place in the human body, aiming at developing indicators of thermal comfort based on the …

Exergy analysis is applied to assess the energy conversion processes that take place in the
human body, aiming at developing indicators of health and performance based on the …

The exergy analysis of the human body is a tool that can provide indicators of health and life
quality. To perform the exergy balance it is necessary to calculate the metabolism on an …

A precedent study about the effects of obesity on exergy behavior concluded that higher
body fat per se does not lead to higher mortality among obese people; the focus must be …

This paper presents an exergy analysis of the human body under physical activity. A model
of the respiratory system and a model of the thermal system were used for this purpose …

The relation between perceived exertion and physiological indicators of exertion during
exercise was studied. HR (heart rate) Vo2,(oxygen uptake) and blood lactate concentration …

This article focuses on studying the effects of muscle and fat percentages on the exergy
behavior of the human body under several environmental conditions. The main objective is …
