| Research Abstract |
We evaluated the environmental adaptability in the recent Japanese adults using physiological and/or biometeorological measurements and epidemiologic survey of heat related injuries, and postulated the practical method to improve environmental adaptability. Cases have found that environmental temperatures induced heat related injuries in recent Japanese were lower than those in Japanese lived in the 1970s. In the present study, the environmental adaptability in female subjects who did not have exercise habituation was lower than in male subjects who have exercise habituation for 3 days per week. These results suggest that exercise habituation need to improve environmental adaptability in the recent Japanese adults.
