Increasing humidity progressively reduces sweating efficiency similarly in males and females during exercise-heat stress

This study compared the impact of increasing relative humidity (RH) on sweating efficiency (SE) in males and females exercising in the heat. Twenty recreationally active adults (10 females) completed four experimental trials (15, 35, 55, or 75% RH) in an environmental chamber (35...

Partitioning secreted sweat in the measure of sweating efficiency during exercise

Sweating efficiency (SE), defined as the proportion of total secreted sweat that evaporates from the body, is a critical determinant of evaporative heat loss and fluid requirements during exercise. Despite its physiological importance, direct assessments of evaporated sweat loss...
