Document Summary

Thermoregulation: core body temperature, core body temperature: 37 . 37 : radiation, conduction, convection, and evaporation, this is the temperature of the vital organs in the abdomen, thorax, and head. The rest of the body has a fluctuating body temperature that is aiming to maintain: radiation is the transfer of heat with indirect contact. Least predominant: conduction is the transfer of heat with direct contact, convection depends on the amount of new air or water. It is best for young, healthy fit people: submaximal tests: the goal is to reach 85% of maximum fitness capacity. It is usually performed on a treadmill or bike. Ten weeks of detraining will put you back at pre-training level of fitness. A reduced amount of training for fifteen weeks results in modest to no reductions in cardiovascular fitness. Intensity is the most important factor in detraining. Indirect methods: hydrostatic weighing, air displacement, skin folds, girth measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, dual-energy x-ray.
