Abstract: | Heat output from the right hand was estimated on six healthy young men at varying ambient temperatures, in a temperature-controlled room maintained at 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30° and 35°C at weekly intervals. The skintemperature of the index finger of both the hands, wrist vein of the right hand and oral temperature, were also recorded during the study. Results indicate that the heat output varies significantly with the changes in ambient temperatures, at higher ranges only. This variation is negligible at lower ambient temperatures. Other parameters supported this observation. |
