PURPOSE: To evaluate the significance of body surface area-to-mass ratio (BSA/mass) on the heat-tolerance test (HTT) results. We hypothesized that individuals defined as heat tolerant (HT) would have on average higher BSA/mass compared with heat intolerant (HI) individuals.
METHODS: A retrospective reanalysis of the HTT results of 517 soldiers (age, 18-38 yr; M/F, 96%:4%), who were tested by the Israel Defense Forces HTT protocol. The criterion for heat tolerance in the current analysis was a rectal temperature (T re ) plateau during the second hour of the test. A logistic regression analysis to evaluate the predictive power of BSA/mass for heat intolerance was performed; the spline model was applied to show the odds for heat intolerance across BSA/mass.
RESULTS: In men BSA/mass of HI individuals was lower than HT individuals (248 ± 19 vs 262 ± 18 cm 2 ·kg -1 , P < 0.01, d = 0.76). In women a similar trend was noted but with no statistical significance between HT and HI groups. The odd ratio for heat intolerance for every unit increase in BSA/mass was 0.97 (95% confidence interval, 0.95-0.99). The spline model plateaued above BSA/mass of 270 cm 2 ·kg -1 .
CONCLUSIONS: The results imply that body-core temperature responses to a standard exercise-heat stress (fixed external work rate and climatic conditions) are influenced by BSA/mass. More specifically, lack of a steady state in T re (indicating heat intolerance) was more likely to occur with every unit decrease in BSA/mass. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of body anthropometry in the response to a standard exercise-heat task that might have an implication on clinical decision making about return to duty/play of soldiers, athletes, and others who deemed to be identified as HI.
