Thermoregulation is all about maintaining a delicate balance between producing heat and losing it. When you exercise, your skeletal muscles get warmer, which can be great - but not when there's too much heat and not enough ways to lose it! This can lead to a condition called hyperthermia, where your body gets too hot and can't cool down effectively.
Now, let's dive deeper into how our bodies deal with heat, especially during exercise.
There are four main ways our bodies can get rid of excess heat:
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Evaporation
