Evaluation of Thermal Environment Effects on Human Strength: An Empirical Investigation in Controlled Laboratory Conditions
a Layman Abstract : The temperature around us can have a big impact on how well we perform physically, especially in terms of strength and endurance. Research has shown that extreme temperatures can weaken our muscles and reduce how long we can keep going. This study focused on understanding how different temperatures affect muscle strength and endurance by testing handgrip strength and sit-up endurance in active people at four different temperatures (10°C, 20°C, 30°C, and 40°C) in a controlled lab setting. The results showed that very hot temperatures (40°C) were harmful, while moderate temperatures (20°C and 30°C) improved performance. These findings are important for designing environments where physical performance matters, such as gyms, military operations, or workplaces. Future studies could look into other factors affecting physical performance, individual differences, and how temperature affects performance in real-world situations.
Original Abstract : The thermal environment is an important factor that affects human performance. Research has shown that temperature can have a significant impact on muscular strength and endurance. Understanding the impact of temperature on muscular strength and endurance has important implications for optimizing performance in various settings, including athletic, military, and occupational environments. The goal of this study was to perform an empirical inquiry into the effects of various temperature conditions on muscle strength and endurance. The study assessed the handgrip strength and sit-up endurance of physically active people in a controlled laboratory setting at four distinct temperatures (10°C, 20°C, 30°C, and 40°C). The findings showed that severe temperatures (40°C) had a negative influence on muscle strength and endurance, whereas intermediate temperatures (20°C and 30°C) had a favorable effect. These findings have significance for the design of places requiring peak physical performance, such as athletic facilities, military operations, and workplace safety. Future research could investigate other physical performance factors, assess individual differences in response to thermal conditions, analyse non-linear effects of temperature on performance, and evaluate the impact of thermal environment on physical performance in real-world settings.
