DESCRIPTION OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCE IN HUMAN BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION BY USING TWO-NODE MODEL

The methodology to describe the individual difference in temperature regulation of human body intransient state is proposed in this paper. In order to clarify the individual difference experimentally, thechange in skin and core temperatures was measured for four subjects exposed to a thermal transientcondition including stepwise air temperature change of coming and going to lower and highertemperature condition from thermally neutral condition. The differences in core temperature andregulatory responses were found to be significant.
