简介
For thermal physiologists, calorimetry is an important methodological tool to assess human heat balance during heat or cold exposures. A whole body direct calorimeter remains the gold standard instrument for assessing human heat balance; however, this equipment is rarely available to most researchers. A more widely accessible substitute is partitional calorimetry, a method by which all components of the conceptual heat balance equation—metabolic heat production, conduction, radiation, convection, and evaporation—are calculated separately based on fundamental properties of energy exchange. Since partitional calorimetry requires relatively inexpensive equipment (vs. direct calorimetry) and can be used over a wider range of experimental conditions (i.e., different physical activities, laboratory or field settings, clothed or seminude), it allows investigators to address a wide range of problems such as …
