Sweat distribution over 21 body sites in 8 young males was described by determining the local sweat volume (LSR ap ), measured using absorbent pads throughout 3 different bicycle exercises performed at 35, 50, and 60% VO 2 max for 40 min, at 30°C and 50% relative humidity. The local upper back sweat rate was concurrently measured by the ventilated capsule method (LSR vc ) in parallel with the absorbent method. The LSR ap at the upper back correlated strongly with mean LSR vc at the position immediately above the absorbent pad (p<0.05). There were significant differences in LSR ap among the 21 body sites within each exercise intensity (p<0.05). Regional comparisons showed a greater LSR ap at the chest and back and lower LSR ap at the flank, thighs, and legs. Moreover, LSR ap was distributed symmetrically and was greater in the middle compared to the adjoining lateral sites. LSR vc data reanalysis of our previous studies on prepubertal boys, men, and women across a range of ages revealed that during passive and/ or active heating, the LSR vc were arranged in order of lower limbs
