A rise in body core temperature and loss of body water via sweating are natural
consequences of prolonged exercise in the heat. This review provides a comprehensive and …

The purpose of this comprehensive review is to: 1) review the physiology of sweat gland
function and mechanisms determining the amount and composition of sweat excreted onto …

Athletes lose water and electrolytes as a consequence of thermoregulatory sweating during
exercise and it is well known that the rate and composition of sweat loss can vary …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the physiological mechanisms determining
eccrine sweat composition to assess the utility of sweat as a proxy for blood or as a potential …

Background Exercise performance and capacity are impaired in hot, compared to temperate,
conditions. Heat adaptation (HA) is one intervention commonly adopted to reduce this …

Human thermoregulation and acclimatization are core components of the human coping
mechanism for withstanding variations in environmental heat exposure. Amidst growing …

In this overview, human morphological and functional adaptations during naturally and
artificially induced heat adaptation are explored. Through discussions of adaptation theory …

The kidneys' integrative responses to heat stress aid thermoregulation, cardiovascular
control, and water and electrolyte regulation. Recent evidence suggests the kidneys are at …

This paper reviews the influence of several perturbations (physical exercise, heat stress,
terrestrial altitude, microgravity, and trauma/sickness) on adaptations of blood volume (BV) …

In humans, evaporative heat loss from eccrine sweat glands is critical for thermoregulation
during exercise and/or exposure to hot environmental conditions, particularly when …
