Research of Individual Physiological Parameters Difference and Revised Body Characteristic Index in Hot-dry and Warm-Wet Climates

Differences of individual physiological parameters in warm-wet and hot-dry climates were analyzed in the paper, in which evaluation method of revised body characteristic index (RBCI) was also proposed. 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females) were chosen as samples to do the heat exposure experiment, including the climate conditions of 26°C-50% (control), 32°C-80% (warm-wet) and 40°C-30% (hot-dry) respectively, and the samples were asked to finish the required activity. During the experiment, the physiological indexes (skin temperature, rectal temperature, heart rate, limen of twoness and sweat) were measured every 10 minutes. Results showed that in the conditions of experiment climate, people with different habitus showed different physiological responses. Finally, a revised body characteristic index (RBCI) was proposed.
