Exercise in the heat: thermoregulatory limitations to performance in humans and horses. This paper reviews the limits to exercise imposed by increases in ambient, hypothalamic, and contracting skeletal muscle temperature in humans and horses. Like humans, horses frequently compete in hot environments, yet their high mass-specific rate of heat production and low mass-specific surface area for heat dissipation places them at a great disadvantage compared to humans. Exercise in hot conditions increases the rate of body heat storage and reduces the time required to reach a critical hypothalamic temperature that results in voluntary fatigue. This critical temperature appears to be ass...
