Women exercising at low intensities in 35°C experienced most statistically significant physiological changes after 70RH. As H and Ereq remained constant across trials, heat storage increased with each 15% rise in RH because dry and respiratory heat losses minimally offset decreased E. Higher Tre, Tsk, and resultantly higher sweat rates reflected heat storage increases as E decreased in each trial. Overall, at 35°C Ta, we found women exercising for 90 min at low intensities remained at safe rectal temperatures up to 70% RH.
