Summary

SIX MEN WEARING LIGHT CLOTHING WERE EXPOSED FOR 105 MIN TO TEMPERATURES OF 30 DEG C AT THE LOWER PART OF THE BODY AND TO 15, 20, 25, 30 AND 35 DEG C AT THE UPPER PART. MENTAL PERFORMANCE DECREASES WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE UPPER PART INCREASES. PERFORMANCE AT 15 deg C IS EXCELLENT HOWEVER, THE SUBJECTS SENSE GREATER COMFORT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE UPPER PART IS AT 25 deg C. AT 35 deg C THE SUBJECTS FEEL WARM, UNCOMFORTABLE AND MAKE NUMEROUS ERRORS IN TESTS.
