Introduction During exercise, your muscles need more energy. They produce this energy by burning glucose or fat, which produces heat. Yet, the core body temperature remains almost unchanged. The body balances the amount of heat by losing heat to the environment. More than 80% of this heat is lost through the skin’s surface. Blood vessels near the surface of the skin dissipate heat. Therefore, heat loss is effectively achieved by an increase in blood flow in the skin. In this experiment we measure the effect of exercise on body temperature and heart rate.
