Heat Balance When Climbing Mount Everest

Abstract: Background: Mountaineers must control and regulate their thermal comfort and heat balance to survive the rigors of high altitude environment. High altitudes feature low air pressure and temperatures, strong winds and intense solar radiation, key factors affecting an expedition’s success. All these climatic elements stress human heat balance and survival. We assess components of human heat balance while climbing Mt. Everest.Materials and Methods: We calculated climbers’ heat balance using the Man-ENvironment he… Show more

“…Mountaineers, especially in the Himalayas, must face harsh weather conditions that can be compared to polar ones (Havenith 2010 ; Szymczak and Błażejczyk 2021 ). These conditions are characterized by low air temperature (Ta) and high wind speed (v) (Szymczak et al 2021a ).…”

“…The Man-ENvironment heat EXchange model (MENEX) of Błażejczyk (1994) was applied for this purpose. Detail equation of above measures are done in Błażejczyk and Matzarakis (2007), Błażejczyk and Kunert (2011), Szymczak and Błażejczyk (2021). The calculations were made using the BioKlima 2.6 software package.…”
