Abstract :
Skin temperature was monitored during a graded exercise to verify whether trained individuals have different skin thermoregulation from untrained ones. Eighteen subjects (10 trained; 8 untrained) were studied recording thermal videos of their skin temperature during the exercise. Training level was assessed by maximal oxygen uptake measurements. Trained individuals have better skin thermal control than untrained
