Preservation of Cognitive Performance with Age during Exertional Heat Stress under Low and High Air Velocity

Figure 2

Local sweat rate (SR) at the forearm ((a) and (c)) and upper back ((b) and (d)) at the start of the paced auditory serial addition task (PASAT) and averaged over the 3-minute duration of the PASAT when administered at baseline (white), end of the 4th exercise bout (end exercise; grey), and end of the final recovery (end recovery; black) in young and older males under low and high air velocity. Values are mean ± SE. Notes: forearm for older high condition; upper back for young low condition, for older low condition, and for older high condition. Main effect of time; end exercise and end recovery versus all time points for pre-PASAT; end exercise and end recovery versus baseline for PASAT; # main effect of air velocity condition; significant difference between pre-PASAT and PASAT within each air velocity condition and age group.
