Report No: DOT/FAA/AM-66/23
Title and Subtitle: The achievement of thermal balance and its maintenance during environmental stress.
Report Date: June 1966
Authors: Iampietro PF, Adams T.
Abstract: The paper describes in some detail the means, both physical and physiological, available to man for maintenance of thermal balance. It is also concerned with some aspects of thermal balance and performance when work is performed in hot or cold environments and the enhancement of performance that thermal acclimatization imparts.
Key Words: acclimatization, control, stress (physiology), metabolism, nervous system, physiology, humidity, body temperature, exercise (physiology), heat production (biology), adaptation (physiology).
