Body segment differences in surface area, skin temperature and 3D displacement and the estimation of heat balance during locomotion in hominins.
The conventional method of estimating heat balance during locomotion in humans and other hominins treats the body as an undifferentiated mass. This is problematic because the segments of the body differ with respect to several variables that can affect thermoregulation. Here, we report a study that...
