Abstract
The authors studied the influence of exercise with a submaximal intensity on the thermal state, gas and energy exchange, cardiovascular system, exercise capacity, and subjective status in 11 track-and-field athletes in two microclimatic regimens (temperature and relative humidity of the air 21 ± 1°C and 78 ± 3% vs. 31 ± 1°C and 80 ± 2%). The character and manifestation of functional shifts in the subjects' bodies highly depended on the conditions of heat exchange with the environment. Based on these results, the authors recommended a minimum complex of physiological criteria for regulating the duration of work with preset intensity under conditions of impeded heat dissipation.
