A 2022 study on the effect of heat on young people found that the critical wet-bulb temperature at which heat stress can no longer be compensated, T wb,crit, in young, healthy adults performing tasks at modest metabolic rates mimicking basic activities of daily life was much lower than the 35 °C (95 °F) usually assumed, at about 30.55 °C (86 ...
Hyperpyrexia is an extreme elevation of body temperature which, depending upon the source, is classified as a core body temperature greater than or equal to 40 or 41 °C (104 or 106 °F); the range of hyperpyrexia includes cases considered severe (≥ 40 °C) and extreme (≥ 42 °C).
The Harris–Benedict equation (also called the Harris-Benedict principle) is a method used to estimate an individual's basal metabolic rate (BMR).. The estimated BMR value may be multiplied by a number that corresponds to the individual's activity level; the resulting number is the approximate daily kilocalorie intake to maintain current body weight.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.
Charlene Leibel, 75, started strength training after a body composition scan. Here's how she converted 50 percent of her body weight into muscle. ‘I Started Working Out At 71.
Strength training, cardio, high-protein meals, counting macros, and walking 8,000 steps per day helped Jodi Echakowitz lose 56 pounds in her late 40s.

A high body mass has been found to help with thermoregulation in regard to adapting for hot environments. This is considered on the basis that the levels of body fat were within healthy ranges i.e. the person's muscle-to-fat ratio was healthy. [ 15 ]
