Estimated Body Temperature Data Field

Popis

This experimental data field will display estimated core body temperature based off heart rate during a physical activity. Please note this is only an estimate of core body temperature.</p><p></p><p>FAQ: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=HU77nu3wOJ8Vx46Aw62Re9</p><p></p><p>Most athletes are at risk for heat illness when performing intense activities. According to Physiological Responses to Acute Exercise-Heat Stress by Sawka and Wenger, during physical exercise, heat production can increase by 10-20 times[1]. Also, in the same paper, Sawka and Wenger note that less than 30% of the heat generated is converted to mechanical energy and the rest must be transferred outside the body.[1] The body does this using the blood to transfer the heat to the skin.</p>
