Professor Lewis Halsey says the findings are 'ever more valuable' in a 'warming world', adding that the research helps provide fundamental knowledge about how we react to suboptimal environments.
Lewis Halsey, a professor of life and health sciences at the University of Roehampton, said the findings are"ever more valuable" in a"warming world".
He said:"This research provides fundamental knowledge about how we react to suboptimal environments, and how 'optimal' differs between people with different characteristics.""We are steadily building a picture about how the body responds to heat stress, how adaptable it can be, the limits to those adaptations, and - crucially - how varied responses are between individuals. In a warming world, this knowledge becomes ever more valuable.
The team, which is currently collecting more data in a follow-up study, found that our resting metabolic rate can be higher when people are exposed to hot and humid conditions.The results indicated that people's resting metabolic rates rose when they encountered temperatures of at least 40C. The results indicated that at 40C there was a 35% change in the metabolic rate in comparison to rest in the thermoneutral zone - the temperature in which the body does not have to work to generate or lose heat - which is between 28 and 32C.following high temperatures which prompted a yellow heat-health alert.
The UK Health Security Agency and the weather agency issued the heat warning until Sunday morning for London, the South East, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, and Yorkshire and the Humber.
