Aging impairs heat loss, but when does it matter?
Stapleton, J. M.; Poirier, M. P.; Flouris, A. D.; Boulay, P.; Sigal, R. J.; Malcolm, J.; Kenny, G. P. (2015)Aging is associated with an attenuated physiological ability to dissipate heat. However, it remains unclear if age-related impairments in heat dissipation only occur above a certain level of heat stress and whether this ... -
