温度调节的早期研究显示:女性对恶劣环境的耐受力较男性差,尤其是处于热环境时。据观察,在同样环境条件下,女性的体核温度、体表温度和心率均高于男性,出汗率则低于男性。近期的温度调节男女对照研究均强调,控制健康、热适应、身体脂肪及大小的重要性。如果在需氧下的健康相似,在热暴露时男女间的差别会减小。平均来说,女性的心肺健康程度约为同龄男性的70％。当浸于冷水,或处于其它高对流性热量散失 Early studies of thermoregulation show that women are less able to tolerate harsh environments than men, especially in hot environments. It has been observed that under the same environmental conditions, the body temperature, body temperature and heart rate of women are higher than those of men and their perspiration rate is lower than that of men. Recent menopause studies of temperature regulation emphasize the importance of controlling health, heat adaptation, body fat and size. If there is similar health under aerobic conditions, the difference between men and women on heat exposure will decrease. On average, cardiorespiratory fitness for women is about 70% of men of the same age. When immersed in cold water, or in other high convection heat loss
