Episode 11 – Mechanisms of heat exchange

In Episode 11, we explore the key mechanisms of heat exchange—conduction, convection, radiation, evaporation, and metabolism—that allow the body to regulate temperature under various environmental conditions. We discuss how factors like humidity, airflow, and temperature gradients impact heat balance and highlight practical applications, such as managing heat stress during urban heat waves or outdoor activities. This episode emphasizes the importance of maintaining thermal balance for survival and performance.
