Adaptation to heat can be acquired through natural or artificial climatic stimuli. As compared to temperate natives, tropical natives have delayed onset of sweating. The sweat onset time tends to decrease with longer duration of stay in temperate zone and lower sodium concentration in sweat. The local amount of evaporation is significantly lower at the lower part of the sub scapular region associated with of higher mean skin temperature (Tsk)...
