“…Heart rate is the safest index because it is the earliest response of physiological strain [58]. Earlier research reported that the normal heart rates for performing heavy work in a hot and humid environment were in the range of 120-160 beat/min [50,52]. Our findings of heart rate limits are in agreement with these studies.…”

“…Exhaustion is accompanied by a rapid heart rate. It should be noted that heat exposure limits and heat disorders may appear when heart rate soared or the heart rate overtake 138 bpm [50]. Average heart rate was 12 bpm lower for participants without alcohol intake in comparison to the occasional alcohol drinking participants, and 19 bpm lower than the average heart rate for usual alcohol drinking participants.…”

“…Hot-dry and warm-wet climates are adopted as the comparison conditions. In the experiment, subjects were asked to exercise on a treadmill at two types of work intensities i.e., moderate and heavy work intensities [37][38][39]. Walking at a speed of 3.5 km/h was regarded as moderate work intensity.…”

Somatotype and habitus parameters may affect physiological control system, so the changes of physiological parameters are not the same when various people work in hot-dry and warm-wet climates. In this paper, a chamber built in Tianjin University was used to simulate comfortable, hot-dry and warm-wet climates. Sixty healthy university students were selected as subjects who were divided into four groups based on somatotype and habitus differences. The subjects were asked to exercise on a treadmill at moderate and heavy work intensities. Physiological parameters (rectal temperature and heart rate) were measured after every 10-min work in the climate chamber. For different groups, the change trends of physiological parameters were different. With the enhancement of experimental conditions, the differences among four groups were weakened. Body surface area per unit of body mass (BSA/mass), percentage of body fat (%fat), and maximum oxygen consumption per unit of body mass (VO 2max /mass) were adopt to establish a revised body characteristic index (RBCI). RBCI was proved having significant correlation with physiological parameters, which means RBCI as the combined factors of somatotype and habitus parameters can be applied to evaluate the effect of individual characteristics on physiological systems.
