The impact of body fat on thermoregulation during exercise in the heat: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Objectives: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the effect of body fat on thermoregulatory responses to exercise in the heat. Design: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Methods: We systematically searched databases (N = 8) for studies that included: healthy participants; an aerobic exercise intervention under heat stress; a measure of body fat by a high and low body fat group; pre-and post-exercise internal temperature, and/or post-exercise mean skin temperature and whole body sweat… Show more

“…It is well understood that occupational heat stress is a combination of environmental conditions, encapsulating PPE, and heavy physical exertion. This review used environmental conditions to distinguish hot environments as it has been used as a common indicator of heat stress in previously published systematic reviews 77,78 . However, it should be recognized that these inclusion criteria may have excluded studies that have experienced heat stress through physical activity or PPE only.…”

“…This is an important consideration for prescription of exercise during training and during competitive events. Morrissey 21 The impact of obesity on thermoregulation during exercise in the heat: A systematic review and meta-analysis Further research is required to adequately determine whether or not obesity independently influences thermoregulation during exercise in the heat. It is recommended that future research continue to employ exercise prescription that accounts for differences in body surface area, body mass and workload.…”
