| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In healthy men, we observed that responses in whole body thermal sensation was increased, while skin warm sensation threshold remained unchanged and skin cold sensation threshold was decreased during passive heating with lower legs immersion in hot water compared with normothermia. Additionally, whole body thermal sensation was higher and skin cold sensation threshold was lower in sitting than supine position during hyperthermia. The increase in whole body thermal sensation and the attenuation in skin cold sensation threshold during passive heating was significantly lower in elderly than young men. Moreover, after exercise training for 2 month, the subjects with increased blood volume showed increased aerobic capacity and thermoregulatory responses during passive heating, and also an increased sensitivities of whole body thermal sensation and skin cold sensation threshold, compared with subjects with decreased blood volume after exercise training.
