Thermoregulation in boys and men exercising at the same heat production per unit body mass

Purpose Child–adult thermoregulatory comparisons may be biased by differences in metabolic heat production (\(\dot{H}_{\text{p}}\)). We compared thermoregulatory responses of boys and men exercising at two intensities prescribed to elicit either a fixed \(\dot{H}_{\text{p}}\) per unit body mass (BM) or a fixed absolute \(\dot{H}_{\text{p}}\).
