Inter- and intra-regional distribution of steady-state sweating during exercise. Data are presented in two forms: (A) Mean sweat rates (closed circles: ventilated capsules) with standard deviations extracted from six studies undertaken in the authors' laboratory (N = 46, cycling: air temperature 36°C, 60% relative humidity: sweat capsules (capacitance hygrometry)). Subjects wore a heated, water-perfusion suit (40°C–46°C). Sources: Taylor et al.[61], Machado-Moreira et al.[62], Smith et al.[194], Machado-Moreira et al.[224], Machado-Moreira et al.[225] and Machado-Moreira[228]. (B) For comparative purposes, averages extracted from the literature for exercise (triangles) are provided (sources identified in Figure5). Data reported by Smith and Havenith[233] (second exercise intensity) are also provided (open circles).
