A body-atmosphere energy exchange model (BIODEX) using heat transfer theory and empirical relationships is described which predicts the change in body core temperature during exercise as an index of thermal strain. Index values may be interpreted as the length of the period of activity before the heat load on the body causes internal body temperature to rise to critical levels. The performance of the model tested under controlled laboratory conditions using human subjects was found to be reliable. BIODEX is used to show the thermal significance of midsummer climatic conditions in New Zealand for those jogging outdoors.
描述了一种利用传热理论和经验关系的人体-大气能量交换模型（BIODEX），该模型预测运动期间人体核心温度的变化，以此作为热应激指标。指标值可解释为在身体热负荷导致体内温度升至临界水平之前的活动时长。在使用人类受试者的受控实验室条件下测试发现该模型性能可靠。BIODEX用于展示新西兰仲夏气候条件对那些在户外慢跑者的热影响。
