Abstract
Rectal temperature gain for sweating and shivering was investigated in men (M) and women during exercise and cold exposure. Women, taking and not taking oral contraceptives, were tested during follicular (F) and luteal (L) phases of the menstrual cycle. The gains for sweating (M, 4.85; F, 5.00; L, 12.25 kPa °C −1) and shivering (M, 6.50; F, 2.75; L, 2.00 ml kg min −1 °C −1) differed between sexes, as well as between F and L, and were affected by the oral contraceptives (5.45 and 8.00 kPa °C −1, P<0.01, and 6.00 and 4.25 ml kg min −1 °C −1, P<0.05, respectively).
